ABC's George Stephanopoulos talked with Karl Rove about his role in the prosecution of Alabama Governor Don Siegelman. Rove repeated the claim that he learned about the prosecution in the newspaper but refused to deny that he had contacted the Justice Department to discuss the prosecution.
- Partial Transcript -

STEPHANOPOULOS: We're just about out of time. As we know and our viewers probably know you were subpoenaed this week by the house Judiciary Committee to give testimony on any involvement you may have had with the prosecution of the former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman. He's claiming there was selective prosecution. He's out on bail now even though he was convicted. He said your fingerprints are all over it. The House report said -- "in Selma 2007 a Republican attorney for northern Alabama named Jill Simpson wrote an affidavit stating that in November 2002 she heard a prominent Alabama Republican operative named Bill Canary say that Karl Rove had contacted the Justice Department about bringing a prosecution of Don Siegelman. The question for Mr. Rove is whether he directly or indirectly discussed the possibility of prosecuting Don Siegelman with either the Justice Department or Alabama Republicans." did you?

2. i am so glad to see "big" media finally pay attention to this

I know that the wheels of justice move slowly, but I hope that each and every one of our Dem leaders and liberal media types think long and hard about what happened to Gov Siegelman. Politics IS a dirty business and we all know that. It is bad enough that private family matters and scandal are used as tender to get ahead of your opponent in public life, but this case absolutely crosses a line. Rove and his AG minions put an innocent man in jail because he was a Dem and had a pretty darn smart plan to do something about Alabama's educational system. It was a effing game to them.

What if Ken Starr threw Stephanopoulos in jail because he wouldn't sign a made up statement about Clinton, like what happened to Susan McDougall? What if Stephanopoulos was shuffled around from jail to jail and put in solitary confinement with no written records of the trial that put him there? Thank you for story Stephie, but think about that.
