Siegelman Interviewed

GQ Blog posts today an interview with former Governor Don Siegelman. Readers who have followed the story closely will not see a whole lot new but it is a quick summary of the points he has been making since his release along with some details of his incarceration.

An excerpt:

First [Karl Rove] said he would testify. Then he said he would only come if he received the questions in advance and nobody was there to take down what he said. So the committee recommended to the full House that he be held in contempt of Congress. If he’s not held in contempt, it will send a clear signal that there are two systems of justice in this country: one for the rich and powerful, those connected to the White House, and one for the rest of us. When we get subpoenaed, we have to show up.

Whether Karl Rove is as innocent as a newborn babe or crooked as a dog’s hind leg, I do wonder how and why he ignores a Congressional subpoena with no consequence.
