Siegelman Letter Says Karl Rove Behind Prosecution
August 20th, 2007Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman says in a letter written from federal prison that he is confident his conviction will be overturned and a congressional probe will show that Republican politics was behind the probe of his Democratic administration, according to a story just out from the Associated Press.
Siegelman says in the letter that presidential aide Karl Rove was behind the federal investigation, and is quoted as saying:
“I am also encouraged by The Congressional inquiry and upcoming investigation which should prove the political involvement and establish this Alabama case as the ‘Watergate’ of 2008.”
Of course Karl Rove resigned from the White House last week effective at the end of August, although he is still facing Congressional subpoenas in an ongoing investigation into the political manipulation of justice by the Bush administration, although the White House is still claiming executive privilege.

Our Congress is more on top of things than people think. We need to keep pushing to get Karl Rove to testify.
Don and Scrushy needs to be out of jail, NOW! They did NOT commit a crime to justify the treatment that they have received!
America and the people in Washington need to wake up NOW! This country has their whole system backwards!
Don, we love you, hang in
there….it’s not over!
