On Dan Abrams show “Verdict” on MSNBC, in an ongoing series called “Bush League Justice,” Julian Epstein, former counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, said Republicans will admit, off-camera, that the case against former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was “fixed.”
The segment mainly concentrated on the breaking news that Karl Rove finally gave written answers to some questions about the Siegelman case, reported below, although he was not under oath.
Epstein said Rove actually appeared to “incriminate” himself by refusing to answer a specific question about whether he contacted certain officials.
The other important thing about the segment shows more than ever that the “evidence” of White House involvement in the Siegelman case rests squarely on the affidavit and testimony of Alabama lawyer and GOP whistleblower Jill Simpson.
But there are more intriguing questions now that no one seems to be asking: What if Bush was “in the loop?”
And, there’s this just out on the Harper’s magazine Website:
