Karl Rove, William Canary, and the Siegelman Case
Scott Horton - Dec 17, 2007 - http://www.harpers.org/archive/2007/12/hbc-90001940


A trio of reporters at Raw Story has just published further details relating to the involvement of Karl Rove in the campaign of Alabama Governor Bob Riley and in the effort to eliminate his chief rival, former Governor Don E. Siegelman, through a criminal prosecution. The story traces Rove’s involvement, largely via his long-time friend William Canary, in the 2002 Alabama gubernatorial race. Canary had initially advised the campaign of Lieutenant Governor Steve Windom, and only after his primary defeat turned to the Riley campaign. Raw Story reports:

According to the Alabama RNC source, Rove met regularly with operatives for the Riley campaign. The source’s allegations are confirmed in part by campaign disclosure forms, which show that Windom paid Canary as a consultant between 1999 and early 2001 and later received large contributions from Canary’s business partner, a pattern that is duplicated with Riley and Canary. .....

Rove’s linkage to this campaign has been reported before and belongs to the insider’s account of Alabama politics—but Raw Story brings in considerable additional detail. The Rove involvement is unfolded with a flow chart showing the complex relationships. As Dan Abrams noted on his MSNBC report recently, Rove’s extensive campaign dealings in Alabama involve a large team, and the central figure in the process is certainly William Canary, the husband of the U.S. Attorney who brought the Siegelman prosecution .........

A great deal of this article lines up with what I have learned in six months of research on the Siegelman matter. ......

1. One of the most important stories that needs CONSTANT VIGILANCE, Dems.

Our party left Siegelman on his own - the powers that nbe didn't CARE that 2000, 2002 and 2004 were stolen by these tactics, but Siegelman's case always contained the most facts that would prove the thefts.

Why did Terry McAuliffe not STAND with Siegelman? There was ramapant theft in 2002 and it was met by a DNC and party infrastructure that REFUSED to acknowledge it in any way or stand with TWO Dem governors and a Dem senator who were steamrolled by those tactics while they further allowed Siegelman to be accused falsely by Rove and his thugs.

3. What about the hearings and ongoing investigations? The facts are coming out

and it isn't the Other Party that is responsible. Democrats are the ones investigating.

Christmas Letter from a Louisiana Jail

Merry Christmas to all of you, with heartfelt
gratitude for your support. Please enjoy this
meaningful holiday season and appreciate
your freedom, your homes, and your loved
ones. I look forward to cherishing these
precious gifts, more than ever, in the coming
year. With your continued hard work, I
believe this Christmas will be my only one
within these walls. Despite the grim
conditions here, I will celebrate this special
day by keeping my faith, and by maintaining
the hope that, with your help, we can move
Congress to expand their investigation and
restore American justice -- our once bright
beacon in the free world. I cannot thank you
enough, or ask more emphatically that you
continue and intensify your extremely
important efforts. May the many blessings of
this season bring joy to each of you."
