In reply to the discussion: Why did Obama's Justice Department recently argue AGAINST Don Siegelman's release from prison? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)has been aided and abetted by a Democratic DOJ. The DOJ that overturned Republican Sen. Ted Steven's conviction.
I read recently of the treatment of Don Siegelman and it sickened me.
Who do they represent? Karl Rove? Does he have something on all of them?
Because even REPUBLICANS have described this crooked, criminal prosecution as one of the worst examples of a political use of the judicial system they have ever seen.
Why did they go after him so cruelly?
I remember Siegelman speaking out against Bush/Cheney while he was Gov.
The judge in his case is crooked, recently adding more crimes to his list.
Rove of course is a criminal.
It's our fault, we have such short memories. There should be outrage over this.
It puts the DOJ into serious question.
Not only should that conviction have overturned, there should have been an investigation of those involved conducted by the DOJ.
THAT is what we expected in 2008, JUSTICE and a return to the rule of law.
We are further away from that than ever.
