Don Siegelman

Hi everyone. I just got word, second-hand from The Governor that he may not be interviewed necessarily today on Thom Hartmann. (Tune in just in case). The terms of his parole had a temporary gag order, and with Jeff Sessions in the D.O.J. at the moment, Governor Siegelman is checking to ensure exactly when he can speak publicly about his ordeal without fear of being returned to prison.

I will be vigilant and tell you when he will be on the air and where to find him.

I apologize as two days ago, it seemed certain he would back today.

Gov. Siegelman did a nondescript, uncontroversial interview while in prison with Thom Hartmann, and as a result, he was placed in solitary as punishment for a number of weeks. You can understand the Governor's caution.

but there is very little normal and certainly nothing resembling "justice" about his case. I am an angel donor for the documentary which is in the finishing phase:

from the 1st moment of this until the last second. I pray he is writting a book on all this and brings all traitors down.

Mess up on parole and you're back in jail for the duration of your sentence.
