- As with many 60 Minutes stories this one is full of errors and misrepresentations of the truth. To begin with Doug Jones' version of Nick Bailey's testimony is in error. Check the facts. Nick Bailey's testimony about seeing the check came after a later meeting between Siegelman and Scrushy after the date on the check. While Mr. Jones had represented the Governor in the past he did not represent him in the bribery trial and was not at the trial. While Jill Simpson is an attorney she was never a "Republican attorney" nor a Republican operative. She has never met or spoken to Karl Rove. None of her story has ever been corroborated by any other living person and 60 Minutes did not question or fact check her story at any time. She is a hoax and a part of the Siegelman/Scrushy public relations campaign. The investigation into this crime started prior to Ms. Canary becoming U. S Attorney and she recused herself from involvement once she assumed her position. These are just a few examples of the gross misrepresentations by 60 Minutes. The fact is that regardless of how this investigation started the jurors at the trial were honest everyday citizens not politicians. They have been unfairly criticized and accused of exchanging emails about the trial in violation of their instructions. Those emails were clearly fraudulent. I am not an attorney and have nothing to do with the trial. I was a state of Alabama employee during the Siegelman administration and know they were a shady crowd. It may be hard to believe that a national news organization got it so wrong but they did and this is not the first time. The Siegelman administration got away with worse things than he was convicted of.

- Now that the Don Siegelman Case is to be brought before the Supreme Court (with no guantees that they will agree to hear it) Will CBS Sixty Minutes please do a followup on what is happening with the Don Siegelman Case? Why is the Obama Administration so afraid to expose the truth about Karl Rove. If justice not restored we are all in trouble.

- A follow up on the Don Siegelman Case is overdue. Why was the same court allowed to be in charged of his appeal? That they handed down an increased sentence of 20 years is more then shocking! Please follow up on the Don Siegelman Case. Thank you.

- There is no one I would rather see in jail than Karl Rove. I think we ought to set the "Heros" of the Iraq war, Rove, Cheney, and Bush, free on the streets of Iraq and see how much the people there love them. I want a front row seat!
This isn't just a Siegelman issue, it's about out right criminal activities Rove and his cronnies perpetrated on the American people. If you knew what all I've read up on Rove what he did to Siegelman would come as no surprise (I read a lot). The stuff Rove has pulled on many other politicans is outrageous, even more outrageous is the man is still walking around free. Do your research on him all the way to Texas. This is the guy who got Bush first elected as Governor of Texas and has been his right hand ever since. Why Bush was never impeached is beyond me. He blantantly has overseen crimes against this country/constitution. Those same extremists aka Ken Star impeached Clinton for a personal discretion, but somehow these more serious offenses didn't count.
I'm happy 60 Minutes is exposing this stuff. Republican or Democrat, we need our news media to stand alone from them and not pick and choose for political reasons what they will report. All wrong doing needs to be exposed. The news world has plenty of power. They are the ones who can straighten out Washington by not letting them get away with anything. With their help we could begin to clean up Washington.
Karl Rove deserves to be in jail right now. Who does he think he is to snub his nose at subpoenaes? I am mad as hell as are many many Americans at the injustices committed by these politicans who get away with things you and I would be in jail for in a hot minute. This must stop! Thank you 60 Minutes. I hope you replay this episode as many were watching the Oscars. People all support your work and I hope you do follow up on the Siegelman case. - Reply to this comment
- From deep within the red heart of AL--
Please email your Congressman or woman demanding a special prosecutor be assigned to investigate the partisan politics in AL. If people had not gotten involved in the struggle for Civil Rights in AL in the 50''s and 60''s, the advances in voter registration and other rights and opportunities for minorities would have been a much longer time in coming for thousands of people.
Stand up for American first, political parties second. A request for a special prosecutor is a small action to take, given the results that such an investigation could yield. Please take this action today. Thank you. - Reply to this comment
- Please, please, please report about the circumstances of the 2002 Alabama Governor''s race in which the Republicans stole the election from Siegelman.

Rep Sue Schmitz (D) is getting one as well - Reply to this comment
- No doubt, Karl Rove will be pardoned by Bush before he leaves office. I wonder if a pardon can be for anything deemed illegal in Rove''s past?
