3. Why haven't more Dem members of congress spoken out?
I have only found a few Dems in the House and Senate who have spoken out in the Siegelman case. Why the timidity in this obvious injustice?

Even if they are too timid to declare him innocent, there certainly were enough obvious improprieties to deserve a new trial with a fair judge.

How can he be held in prison for 7 years when the Feds can't even produce a transcript of the trial? Without a transcript, he can't appeal.
