Pardon and commute the sentence and prosecution of Don Siegelman of Alabama, which was a political prosecution.

Created by R.S. on May 12, 2015

This is a purely political prosecution. The judge, Mark Fuller has since been charged with domestic violence and got his job because of his prosecution of Don, from the Bush Administration. On October 10, 2007, the House Judiciary Committee released testimony in which Dana Jill Simpson alleged Rove "had spoken with the Department of Justice" about "pursuing" Siegelman with help from two of Alabama's U.S. attorneys, and the Canarys who are close friends with Rove, and that Bob Riley had named the judge who would eventually be assigned to the case. She also claimed Bob Riley told her the judge would "hang Don Siegelman." .[43][44] Wikipedia
