The Abramoff Trail: Is Siegelman Prosecutor Trying to Cover the Tracks?
Alabama federal prosecutor Leura Canary evidently would not recognize a conflict of interest if it smacked her in the head with a 2 X 4. Her stubbornness is again on display in a case that is reminiscent of the Don Siegelman prosecution.

It all apparently stems from Canary's desire to protect Alabama Governor Bob Riley from an ugly trail that leads to disgraced GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Folks who have followed the Siegelman case know that Canary's myriad conflicts and her curious "recusal" became key issues on appeal.

The same issues are being raised against Canary in another Montgomery case, this one involving insurance executive John W. Goff.

The Montgomery Independent reports that Goff's attorneys are seeking to have his federal indictment dismissed because of bad-faith prosecution.

One motion seeks to have the case against Goff dismissed. Another seeks to have the case removed from all prosecutors in the Middle District of Alabama.

1. If Abramoff truley sang, wouldn't Riley be vulnerable from the

other direction?

2. I thought he had to sing

as part of his deal. Yet we see nobody dancing the perp walk that I can think of.

How does that work? :sarcasm:
