For those who have not followed.
A fascinating series of miscarriages of justice, all apparently closely coordinated. Led to the arrest and imprisonment of Gov. Don Siegelman. a large and credible body of evidence indicates Mr. Rove, and a number of Mr. Rove's close allies coordinated the event.
Extensive diaries on the subject have been posted here.
But Rove's recent 2nd Divorce led to an interesting conversation with a friend close to those still working on the slow wheels of justice in this case. He said: "Rove's Divorce? It has to do with the AGs and Siegelman. I think Rove's trying to protect his families assets."
I was not sure what to make of that. DC has many speculations. Then the email below came from Mr. Siegelman today regarding Gary White. Interesting.

Subject: New Twist on the Siegelman Case

Dear Friend,
Please take a moment to read this frightening statement from the wife
of an Alabama county commissioner who was subpoenaed by prosecutors to
appear before my grand jury. There is no doubt in my mind that if he
had lied, as they apparently asked, he would have never been hassled.
This is the sad state that this Rove inspired investigation sank to in
my case.
Below is the statement by Judy White of Birmingham, Alabama, chosing
to break the "conspiricy of silence":
"My husband, while serving as an elected county commissioner, was
subpoenaed to give grand jury testimony against former Governor Don
Siegelman and Richard Scrushy, because he assisted in arranging the
meeting between them at which federal prosecutors contend crimes were
committed that resulted in Governor Siegelman's and Mr. Scrushy's
convictions. Please understand that I was present when my husband was
questioned by federal officials, and I witnessed their demands that my
husband testify as he was told, regardless of his insistence that he
could not. Following his refusal to comply, the Office of the U.S.
Attorney began investigating him, and obtained an indictment and a
conviction, which was overturned by the trial judge. The U.S. Attorney
appealed the reversal.
My husband got on the wrong side by refusing to commit perjury for
their benefit. We have complained to the Office of Professional
Responsibility and to the Department of Justice, to no avail, of
numerous and verifiable instances of wrongdoing in this matter.
On one day we were highly respected, productive citizens, taking care
of our family, and contributing to our community in numerous ways,
serving on the boards of non-profits and raising awareness and money
for worthy causes, aside from my husband's public service. Then, after
my husband refused to commit perjury at the direction of federal
officials, they have viciously focused on causing destruction,
including the loss of employment, our home, relationships, and any and
every resource we might have to fight back, to the point my husband is
even unable to retain counsel.
Please help us, and please continue to help change a broken system.
If I did nothing, we would continue as we have since that fateful day
when my husband refused to lie as demanded. Ultimately, I understand
someone has to speak out and speaking out brings exposure. But if
everyone with knowledge of the corruption spoke out, it would have to
end, so I have chosen to not be part of the conspiracy of silence."
