Caught in the Crosshairs: Gov Don Siegelman talks with OpEdNews, Part Three
by Joan Brunwasser This has been a very long haul. It must be exhausting, emotionally and financially. How do you keep your spirits up?This fight is about freedom, yes mine, but, more importantly, our America's freedom. If the government sweeps under the White House rug:
Leading us to war under false pretenses;
Using illegal wiretaps for information and torture as a means of interrogation;
Stealing elections and using the Department of Justice as a political weapon to win elections,
Then, our democracy and liberties will remain threatened. Those who perpetrated these acts against our democracy, our constitution, and our freedoms must be held accountable or else they will be used again. ...
What's next?We await the United States government's response to our motion for a new trial based on their (prosecutorial) misconduct. Meanwhile, we see if the U.S. Supreme Court will hear my case. If not, I will be resentenced to prison. We should know something by October.Action alert:
Ask that the Siegelman conviction be thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct as was done for former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. And ask the DoJ to reexamine all of the hundreds of partisan prosecutions that went on during the Bush administration. Let's put justice back in the Justice Department.
Hon. Rahm Emanuel, Chief of Staff to President Obama
