Governor Don Siegelman, smiling a little more these days, since his release from prison, out on bond pending an appeal. His case, closely watched by many, ignored by the MSM until recently, is getting traction. Convicted in 2006 for bribery and other charges that seemed politically motivated. Karl Rove has been named by many researching the case. Raw Story, Dan Abrams, Crooks and Liars, Unfiltered News Network, Mike Malloy, Thom Hartmann and numerous others have linked Rove to stories reported by Alabama attorney Jill Simpson. The one time Republican volunteer revealed stories of Rove and other GOP operatives pushing the Justice Dept. to seek a conviction. When that failed the first time, Simpson claims Rove asked her to find evidence that Siegelman was cheating on his wife. The Rove machine knows no shame does it?

Well, all of this has finally caught the attention of Congress . Rove's attorneys have exchanged words with Dan Abrams for covering the story, and Abrams invited him on his show to present his case. He declined. Now Congress is pushing for Rove to testify under oath, he again is claiming "executive privelege", please!!! He can go on Fox News, discuss the case, and deny any involvement, yet, when he is challenged by not only an MSNBC host, and Congress, he can't? What are you hiding this time Karl? If Congress makes good on their threat of subpoena, we can be sure Bush and Co. will come running to his rescue. Will Rep. Conyers show the backbone we know he has? We hope. We do not jail political opponents in the United States. In the United States we jail criminals like Karl Rove. The following is a fantastic interview of Don Siegelman with Thom Hartmann.
