Surprise Surprise!! Rove Won't Testify "For Weeks"

[Beetwasher]

I doubt he will ever testify unless he is FORCED TO (IOW, dragged there in cuffs), so just fucking force him to already. I KNEW this was probably yet another delaying tactic and said as much when the "deal" was reported.

1. And the 3-judge panel decision in Siegelman's case will make

prosecution of Rove more difficult.

hree Republican-appointed judges have upheld most of the convictions of Governor Don Siegelman--while throwing out two counts of Mail Fraud.

The opinion starts by invoking the controversy surrounding the case--then nods to deference to the jury in retaining the convictions.

This is an extraordinary case. It involves allegations of corruption at the highest levels of Alabama state government. Its resolution has strained the resources of both Alabama and the federal government.
