Gov Don Siegelman talks with OEN News Part III: "stealing elections and using DOJ..."
Caught in the Crosshairs: Gov Don Siegelman talks with OpEdNews, Part Three
by Joan Brunwasser



This has been a very long haul. It must be exhausting, emotionally and financially. How do you keep your spirits up?

This fight is about freedom, yes mine, but, more importantly, our America's freedom. If the government sweeps under the White House rug:

Leading us to war under false pretenses;
Using illegal wiretaps for information and torture as a means of interrogation;
Stealing elections and using the Department of Justice as a political weapon to win elections,
Then, our democracy and liberties will remain threatened. Those who perpetrated these acts against our democracy, our constitution, and our freedoms must be held accountable or else they will be used again.


...
What's next?

We await the United States government's response to our motion for a new trial based on their (prosecutorial) misconduct. Meanwhile, we see if the U.S. Supreme Court will hear my case. If not, I will be resentenced to prison. We should know something by October.

Action alert:


Ask that the Siegelman conviction be thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct as was done for former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. And ask the DoJ to reexamine all of the hundreds of partisan prosecutions that went on during the Bush administration. Let's put justice back in the Justice Department.

3. This case should serve as a warning to all Democrats . .. if it can happen to
Don Siegelman it could happen to any of them.

Why the Democrats are so reluctant to move on this case is anyone's guess!

It also involves vote steal by GOP -- blatant vote stealing -- which is also

being ignored by Democrats. AND, we still have the computers being used!

Needless to say, this vote stealing involves the corporate press who have

been complicit in all of this all along.

I did e-mail Emmanuel and Holder -

:)

4. It happened to Al Gore in Florida, and there was no consequence. No surprise they steal AL in 2002
after they overthrow democracy and seize the US Executive branch and DoJ.
Who could stop them when they were the law unto themselves?
And Obama won' even fired the USAs who railoaded former Gov. Siegelman. Go figure that one out???
