Rove v. Siegelman

By TChris

In a letter to Rep. Lamar Smith, Karl Rove claims he had nothing to do with the prosecution of Don Siegelman. How reassuring. So why is he unwilling to repeat his assertions under oath? And if his fealty to executive privilege doesn't bar him from making that claim in a letter, what's stopping him from repeating it in a congressional hearing?

This is Siegelman's response. Siegelman has also assembled a handy archive of materials addressing his prosecution.

Had enough of Karl Rove? Vent your anger by joining more than 100,000 people who have signed a petition at Send Karl Rove to Jail. Or just stop by to look at the picture of Rove behind bars. It might make you feel better.
