The 60 Minutes piece on Don Siegelman just aired and it is sure to make Rove and the Bush criminal enterprise nervous. It focused on the polititization of the Justice Department. It didn't mention the questionable tactics of the election (the stealing of it by the Republican-only electoral board). It didn't mention the gag order preventing from talking with the media. And it didn't mention that the story freaked out CBS's Board of Directors so much that they wanted to pull the story.
52 former state attorneys-general have asked Congress to investigate whether the prosecution of Siegelman was pursued not because of a crime but because of politics
I think we should listen to the attorneys general and have some hearings on this matter. Better yet, if hearings were held to determine if the Bush administration has committed impeachable crimes, then we could get to the bottom of the whole US attorney firing scandal without any fear of non-compliance of subpoenas.
I'm going to let John Conyers and the House Judiciary Committee know how I feel. Care to join me?
