Siegelman Prosecutors Used Threats Against Witnesses

Prosecutors in the Don Siegelman case discussed the possibility of filing a bar complaint in order to obtain the desired testimony from a cooperating witness.

Prosecutors also appeared to condone the unlawful removal of documents from an off-site facility. And they openly discussed and laughed about a plan to obtain proffer testimony from defendant Richard Scrushy, seeking a plea agreement without advising his attorneys that their client had already been named in a sealed indictment.

Those are three of many revelations in a letter from whistleblower Tamarah Grimes to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder about prosecutorial misconduct in the Siegelman case. Grimes' letter is dated June 1, 2009, and she was fired eight days later from her position as a paralegal in the Department of Justice's Office in the Middle District of Alabama.

Holder so far has taken no public action regarding what appears to be clear retaliation against a government whistleblower who used proper channels to reveal improper, and possibly criminal, conduct.

1. WHY can't we make this thing move in the right direction . . .???

You would think Democrats would be fighting for Siegelman . . . ???

This puts every Democrat in threat of the same kind of fake prosecution -- !!!

What do we have to do to get this case some appropriate attention????

This case is a BIG BAG OF TRICKS ...

A stolen election -- retaliation against the man they stole the election from because

he was going to run again.

An honest man amid absolute corruption in Alabama?

Another ROVE dirty trick . . . he looks knee deep in it -- !!!

A circle of plotters -- fairly wide conspiracy ... !!!

Connected also to the firing of the Attorneys General --

Links to other similar cases . . . ??

What the hell is keeping this propped up???

3. It's really starting to look like Obama made some sort of deal to not lay a finger on Rove

How much more open and shut could a case be than this---or anything else Rove was involved with?
