Legal Schnauzer (friend of Gov. Don Siegelman) FINALLY gets noticed by The New York Times

28. He should not be pardoned. The conviction should be overturned, tainted as it was. The same WAY TED

STEVENS' was overturned. Why was it so easy for the DOJ to overturn the Republican's conviction, rightly imo as there was evidence of corruption by the prosecution, although the crime itself was not in question, unlike in Siegelman's case where there was no crime. Unless EVERYONE who ever did what he did is guilty of a crime.

What was the difference to the DOJ between these cases where both had evidence of corruption in the prosecutorial process? Guilty or not, I agreed with the overturning of Ted Stevens' conviction and fully expected the same treatment for the even more egregious corruption in Siegelman's case.

But then, we expected a lot which never happened. War Criminals, Wall St. Criminals, the restoration of the rule of law, 'no one is above the law', right? What a joke it all is. And to see ANYONE here try to justify what happened to Siegelman makes me sick, frankly.

This is NOT about Obama. To some it appears that EVERYTHING is about Obama. It is about a GOOD DEMOCRAT railroaded by one of the most evil people, hell even Bush Sr. hated him, to ever appear on the political scene in this country. Siegelman is not the first of his victims. And we thought at one time that something might finally be done about Karl Rove. And here on DU we are now seeing actual defenses of that criminal. Maybe we should just accept it, the coup has been completed and we ALL should just get on board. After all, too many already have.
