Siegelman calls on Pelosi to support subpoena of Alabama Republicans at Netroots Nation

By SEDER

Update: In a nearly hour and half conversation exclusively streamed at Air America, Gov. Don Siegelman called on Nancy Pelosi to encourage the House Judiciary Committee to force Karl Rove's testimony in regard to his questionable prosecution by US attorney's in Alabama. Siegelman also called on Pelosi to encourage the Judiciary Committee to call for testimony from Alabama Republican operative William Canary and Bob Riely, Jr., son and former campaign manager for Alabama Gov. Bob Riely. Canary and Riely were both on a conference call with Republican Attorney Jill Simpson who has given sworn testimony that the two specifically discussed Karl Rove's involvement in and the political nature of the Siegelman prosecution. Canary and Riely would be unable to claim any sort of executive privelege if called to testify before Congress. Pelosi will be appearing at Netroots Nation tomorrow.

As more and more corruption and law breaking at the highest reaches of our Government reveal themselves, will the scandal surrounding the use of the Department of Justice as an electoral tool be the one that finally holds the Bush Administration to account? If so, there is one man who's story may seal the unraveling of this criminal regime.

Former political prisoner and former Governor of Alabama Don Siegelman will be making a court sanctioned trip out of Alabama to join me at Netroots Nation to discuss his case and what it can tell us about the unprecedented corruption that exists in our nation's chief law enforcement agency, the Department of Justice.

By now many are familiar with the case of Don Siegelman. A very popular former Democratic Alabama Governor seen as an electoral threat to unseat Republican Bob Riley. Faced with the most popular Democrat in generations, Congressional testimony reveals that Republican operatives in Alabama and Karl Rove's dirty tricks shop in the White House used the prosecution powers of the DOJ's United States Attorneys to send Don Siegelman to jail on trumped up charges.

The dogged reporting by on-line journalists such as Talking Points Memo, Larisa Alexandrovna and Scott Horton, Congressional hearings and a 60 minutes interview forced an appellate Court to reexamine the Siegelman case. Within days Siegelman was released from prison pending his appeal and the court found "tthat his appeal raises substantial questions of law or fact...". Reagan's Attorney General Richard Thornburgh and 54 former US Attorneys of all political stripes from across the country smell a rat. Not surprisingly, that rat smells a lot like Karl Rove, the Fox news commentator and former White House dirty trickster.

For over a year and a half now we have known of the US Attorney firings scandal that has forced the resignations of countless DOJ officials. The Siegelman case is the other side of the coin of the corruption of the Department of Justice under the Bush Administration. Those US attorney firings took place because those US Attorney's would not play ball with a DOJ hell bent on using it's powers to provide Republicans an advantage at the ballot box. Some refer to this scandal as the politicization of the Department of Justice, but the Siegelman case and other such prosecutions over the past six years go well beyond a mere infraction of the Hatch act. These cases are indicative of an agenda that has literally torn at the fabric of a nation built upon the rule of law and Justice for All. This is a corruption of the very foundations of how the United States of America is supposed function as a democracy. When the chief law enforcement agency has become crooked, who do you call?

Fox commentator Karl Rove, through his attorney, has claimed that simply because he once worked at the White House he need not comply with a Congressional subpoena to testify as to his involvement with this prosecution. Karl Rove may not be traveling to Washington anytime soon, but Don Siegelman will be traveling to Austin Friday at Netroots Nation to give us some insight as to just how far we have fallen as a a Nation.

If you have any questions you'd like me to ask of the former Governor, post them here!

Well I never!

I just got my Obama bumper stickers from MoveOn, and it was the damnedest thing...the envelope had already been opened, then resealed badly. I hope it wasn't Homeland or NSA that did this...I mean guys, when you covertly inspect someone's mail, isn't it supposed to be, well, COVERT? A bat with glaucoma couldn't have missed it.

They had an interesting segment on Countdown about that

last night. It seems Obama is now setting up camp in areas that weren't just "purple" on the electoral map in the last two elections, but also in the reddest of the red areas. And he seems to be getting people to support him!

By doing so, he will be forcing McCain to spend time and money in places that had long been assumed to be safe, allowing him to concentrate more on swing states. By forcing him to actively spend time and money in his base states, he has to take resources away from the swing states.

I am truly looking forward to the general election. With as many senior moments and other gaffes as McCain has displayed, the debates are going to be absolutely hilarious. How many times can McCain have moments like the birth control flub before people conclude he is absolutely clueless? If something like that happens during a debate, he will be complete toast. Even better will be if he displays his legendary temper at some point. Look at how well it worked for Hillary in the primaries when Bill went off on folks. The voters don't want someone with anger management issues to have their finger on the nuclear button.

Was their an individual who surprised you once they became aware of the facts of your “rendition” in that they have expressed outrage and support in rectifying this situation? Is there something about the South that provides more fertile grounds for this sort of classical betrayal of a public official?

By previously onJuly 14, 2008 - 8:30pm

Hey Blogmaster

Good job on the Rachel Maddow post.

Rachel, arguably AAR’s biggest star, gets a puffer in the NY Times and you post at 9:00 PM and take down the next day in the early AM? (Just like Yahoo and others do for news they don’t want anyone to read – i. e. bad news re: Dems).

Apparently, not everyone is proud of or wishes to promote Rachel.

By its_so_overJuly 18, 2008 - 10:14am

In case you hadn't noticed (which is not surprising)

that is pretty much the case for most things here. They run a FIFO system, so once they post enough new stuff, the older stuff gets shoved out. Sometimes you can find it under most discussed, or if it is in a section that doesn't get a lot of new posts, such as environment or culture, it may stick around for a while. Host posts usually stay up the shortest.

I have no idea why you would say the article was bad news for dems. It was an extremely positive article about the best host on AAR.

By UffdaguyJuly 18, 2008 - 10:19am

I’ll refine my points:

Why not post the news about Rachel’s NYT puffer at 8:00 AM and let it sit all day ? instead, they post at 9:00 pm (low traffic period) and remove by 8:00 am or so the next day.

Point two, Yahoo and other lib internet news sources very often post bad Dem news late at night and take down or move to a second or third “click required” fields before morning.

Case in point. Charlie Rangel’s illegal apartment fiasco hit Yahoo’s front page at about 12:30 AM EDT and was moved to a second click area before 8:00 am. Of course, bad repub news sits front and center all day.

By its_so_overJuly 18, 2008 - 11:39am

Really? Funny how I haven't noticed much coverage at all

about McCain's "rapacious gorilla" joke at all, but it was a huge media event when Jesse Jackson made those open mic comments about Obama.

Your cries of liberal media bias are patently false.

By the way, if you don't want to hear bad news about repubs, maybe you should tell them to stop creating it. If they spent more time creating jobs, taking care of energy, healthcare, Iraq, the mortgage crisis and more, instead of trying to pick up men in airport restrooms or blocking criminal investigations or torturing people, you wouldn't get such a large daily dose of repub bad news.

By UffdaguyJuly 18, 2008 - 11:56am

I agree! If Obama had made

I agree! If Obama had made a joke about a gorilla raping a woman and the woman liking it (sorry if I ruined the punchline for those of you who haven't heard it yet), it would be front page news for at least a week. I mean, Obama's pastor (not even Obama himself) said some acerbic things and it dominated countless news cycles.

But McCain can make jokes about bestiality rape against a woman who enjoys it, and the "liberal media" all but ignores it?

If such a thing as a "liberal media bias" existed, don't you think they'd be all over this? Hell, even a level-handed media should be all over this - it's got all the elements of a juicy story - sex, famous politician, deviance, misogyny, in the middle of a presidential election...

Fact is, the media has a love affair with McCain.

-- McCain = Four more years of the same --

By dtaylo75July 18, 2008 - 1:48pm

I think the MSM wants McCain to win, because their

corporate masters want that. They know that the very best they can do for McCain is to ignore him as much as possible, knowing that the more he is seen by the voting public, the worse he looks. They will also keep intense scrutiny on Obama, hoping they get something they can use against him. Do you honestly think all the network news anchors are following him on his overseas trip because they think it will be historic? No, they are hoping he will slip up in some way, so they can pound him like they did over Rev. Wright. The McCain camp made their obligatory complaint about lack of coverage for their candidate because it was expected, just as the media's yawn was expected.

This same kind of studied and deliberate indifference by the media was crucial to Bush getting elected in the first place. Had they spent as much time looking at Bush's past, both as governor and as businessman as they had on Gore's supposed claim that he invented the internet and his speaking engagement at a Buddhist temple, Bush would probably not have even gotten past the primaries.

By UffdaguyJuly 18, 2008 - 2:17pm

corporate masters

I think the MSM wants McCain to win, because their corporate masters want that.

You've hit the proverbial nail on its proverbial head, Uff. NBC is owned by GE, CBS by Viacom, and ABC by Disney. And we all know who owns Faux and CNN. These coprorations have their own agendas to promote, and there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that they tilt the news focus to the Right (or away from attention on it as the case may be) for a reason. It didn't matter that as a CEO Chimpy drove two companies into the ground; the coproates wanted him as prez because he was the wealthy scion of a wealthy internationalist, and they could count on him to be "receptive" to their agendas rather than Gore with his talk of "in the balance" and "global warming." I wonder how long it will take McSame to flip-flop on his global warming position, the way he flip-flopped (surprisingly) in favor of allowing gay marriage to the states last week after polls showed he was on the "wrong" side of the issue.

As to Obama, you can be sure if he dons traditional attire on his trip and it looks the slightest bit Muslim, the MSM will plaster those pics all over the place.

By blogbobJuly 18, 2008 - 3:26pm

It will be interesting to see how the MSM spins Obama's

warm welcome in places like Germany. How are they going to explain the huge crowds that are expected for his speech at the Brandenburg gate? Will they say that Germans love Obama, so Germans must be terrorist lovers too?

By UffdaguyJuly 18, 2008 - 4:29pm

Obama will bring some credibility back to the US and restore the love the rest of the world once had for us. Sort of like Bush tried to restore the love gynecologists have for their patients.

Example # one:

Find a church where hatred is not preached weekly by a crazy, America hating pastor.

Oprah left this hateful church, why did not Obama ?

(Wait 'til the 527s whip up this issue - Deep election commercial voice "Senator Obama, either he didn't have the judgment to leave Rev. Wright's church, or he believed what the Reverend was preaching")

By its_so_overJuly 18, 2008 - 1:32pm

Those same 527s should have a field day with

McCain's deer in the headlights non-response to the birth control question, or his Bomb Iran or rapacious gorilla joke, or his failure to care enough about Afghanistan to even show up for any of the Senate meetings on them for the past two years, or his stated view that he would vote against the immigration bill that he co-sponsored and bears his name, or his vote against the GI Bill, or the term of endearment, C_ _ T, that he uses for his wife, or his involvement with the S&L scam, or his "I don't understand the economy" remark, or any of the other dozens of pathetic things that define this pathetic man. As Chimpy said so famously, "bring it on".

By UffdaguyJuly 18, 2008 - 1:41pm

"Barack Obama -

Doesn't care enough about the troops to even visit the region before making life and death decisions. THIS country can't afford Barack Obama's type of Judgment."

This ad will peal off Southern Ohio voters 50,000 to 100,000 at a time.

btw, McCain's comeback will be "I find it more useful to GO TO Afghanistan than to attend partisan committee meetings."

By its_so_overJuly 18, 2008 - 2:32pm

If McCain learned so much by visiting Afghanistan, why is it

that he didn't start saying we need to put more troops there until a full YEAR after Obama began saying that?

By the way, don't look now, but Pander McSame is behind in Ohio, as well as PA, VA, and other places.

By f u bush2July 18, 2008 - 4:12pm

He told the story using the Packers for years, and it appeared

in that form in his book and the TV movie that was based on the book. The Steelers version was heard for the first time during his recent trip to Pittsburgh. So, it was either a pandering lie, or another of his innumerable "senior moments". Perhaps he needed Lieberman there to whisper in his ear "No, it was the Packers my darling".

As for real audience or laughtrack-----definitely laughtrack. A real audience would be too stunned by some of the foolish things he spouts to laugh.

News that is true and is certainly believable

Its_so_clueless is a scared little whiner that is unable to discuss an issue, so he resorts to acting out like the spoiled 5 year-old that he is.

When asked about American flags on private property, Obama said “we’ll take care of those property owners on a case by case basis.”
