Heads up: ‘60 Minutes’ on Siegelman? Here
In case you missed the broadcast — and apparently Huntsville and Mobile did — check out the 13-minute report from “60 Minutes.” It uncovers some odd doings behind the conviction of former governor Don Siegelman. Plus, you can watch him rake the yard in the big house.
Karl Rove has denied any involvement, and Alabama Republican Party Chairman Mike Hubbard called Jill Simpson (who named Rove in her CBS interview) a liar.
Lingering questions:
- Did Simpson knowingly omit details in her congressional testimony?
- Why won’t the Justice Department share its files on the case?
- Why did Rove skip testifying before Congress? And why didn’t Congress compel him?
- Did the prosecution’s star witness write out his testimony? If so, why wasn’t it shared with the defense?
- And finally, was Siegelman’s crime bribery, politics as usual, or just being in the enemy party?
