Siegelman Made DNC Rounds
Don Siegelman made the rounds of the Democratic National Convention, speaking wherever he could find an audience, including Air America, the Alaska delegation, and a Press Club event.
Monday morning he spoke at a breakfast meeting of the Colorado delegation. In conversation afterward, Siegelman said that his point was that “it’s not about me.”
“If Congress doesn’t hold Karl Rove accountable, it’s sends the signal that everyone else is off the hook. That you can be subpoenaed and not show up and nothing will happen. Subversion of our Constitution will become part of our culture, and more likely to happen in the future.”
“Listen, the Democrats didn’t follow-up on Watergate after Carter was elected, they didn’t do anything about Iran-Contra after Clinton was elected, and they are not going to pursue this when Obama comes in. Timing is critical and that’s why I am here in Denver. It’s my best chance to talk to the most number of Congressmen.”
