Comments on: Jailed Ex Gov. To Be Released For Appeal

Court Approves Release Of Don Siegelman While He Appeals Bribery Conviction

[iknowbest-2009]

Gee, a Democrat in jail for complete lack of character. Shocking.

bretster:
I''ll take a stab at it. Dems don''t steal elections like the GOP does, they win them by accurate vote counting. It''s refreshing to see all the big money Republi-cons defeated by simple (small "d") democracy.

I hope this gets in court soon enough to embarrass Rove and the other neocons involved in his set-up and railroading. But most of all, I hope he proves himself not guilty for himself and his family.

What no comments from you libs on my post about Dems stealing the election in Washington state? No surprise there. BTW Why such hateful words, aren''t you supposed to be the tollerant kind one''s. LOL

I think it''s time we pulled the plug on Cheney. Haha

[newsjunky5]

If this group of criminals can put an innocent man in jail, and expose undercover CIA agents who''s husband disagrees with them, is it that outlandish that they would get someone to crash an airplane or four?

evangelical war against humanity

Well done, Congress!

[roger_inkart]

Let''s see how many GOP cockroaches scatter when the rock is flipped over on this one.

Good Lord...just when you think the Bush administration and the GOP have reached the bottom you learn more about them that makes them all the more loathesome.

Neocon Republicans are sick brainwashed criminals and they will receive their just reward.

Justice and the federal prosecutors who handled the prosecution have denied any political influence, emphasizing that Siegelman was convicted by a jury. But critics, including about 50 former state attorneys general, have called for a review and said the case raises a number of questions.

The effort gained momentum after a Republican lawyer who had volunteered for Siegelman''s re-election opponent - current Republican Gov. Bob Riley - said she overheard conversations suggesting that former White House adviser Karl Rove was talking with Justice officials about Siegelman''s prosecution.

Last month, "60 Minutes" reported that a key witness against Siegelman said that prosecutors met with him some 70 times and had him repeatedly write out his testimony because they were frustrated with his recollection of events.


MORE REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION

This governor was wrongly convicted. I have been keeping up with this from day one and most people that know the case say he should not be in prison.

[singingrick]

No crime was even committed by the governor. This a political lynching. Our justice system should not be used as a political arm of the Republicon party.

NEWS FLASH:

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A federal appeals court has approved the release of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman on bond while he appeals his bribery conviction.

Only ten months left of Tony Soprano in the White House.

Please don''t insult Tony. He''d make a much better pres than the current 1/3 of one that we have!!

"Betcha don''''t know or even care what happened in the Govenors race in Washington State in 2004"

You''re wrong. I want every election to be fairly administered regardless of which party wins.

I also want the Justice Dept to be independent, not politically biased. I want the executive branch to be held accountable when they break the law, regardless of which party is in office.

I love politics. However, the law and the administration of the law must be apolitical. Otherwise our democracy is worth nothing.

[ioweign]

Pure politics.

What is this criminal going to say? Of course he is going to say it was politically motivated even though the feds have witnesses.

I guess a federal judge and jury are unimportant to this Democratic House. politics are only what is important.

Shame on them.

Pure politics on the part of the Republicans. Even Republican state attorneys say this should be looked at closer. Witness tampering on the part of the Department of Justice.

Dear partisan moron with your head up your backside...actually read the article and watch the video.

[gwagener]

Absolutely NO PARDONS for anyone in this administration. For the country to move forward, Justice will need to be served. The high crimes commited against We The People, and the World will be revealed after these criminals are out of office.

Get real, the pardon list in January 2009 is going to be the size of a major metropolitan phone book. Many people who have not been charged with anything will be given pardons for unspecified crimes. That is the only way GWB can protect his legacy.

Part Two,

The Republican decided to fight this, but was shot down by the Attorney General(another Dem). His statement was that unless he witnessed voter fraud first hand, it did not exist. By the way, he was one of the AG''s fired by Gonzales for not performing his duties, which was within Gonzales'' right as AG, but was demonized by you lib''s and the press for just doing his job.
Now with a Dem controlled state we went from a budget surplus to a deficite of 8 billion dollars. But you probably did not know any of this because it got little attention by the media. Had the roles been reversed it would have been a lead story for weeks, and the "evil election stealing Rebuplicans" would have been the mantra by the hypocritical left.
So saveUS2008, take the plank out of your eye before you accuse others of having a sliver in theirs
