Why is the House meddling with Alabama juries and federal judges?

the only question in Alabama is why the convicted criminal Seigelman is not in Prison. Besides the accepting bribes for Board seats, he was also convicted of accepting a motorcycle and hiding the fact.

Alabama juries and federal judges are just the excuse to get Rove in front of them.

Rove has nothing to hide because the whole dang thing is a pack of utter and laughable lies. The lady that’s making the charges is a certified looney, who no one outside of Alabama had even heard of until she and Seigelman came up with this scheme. I know of her and she’s been a well known ne’er-do-well in Alabama Republican circles since I arrived here 11 years ago.

Rove’s well aware they won’t get “Fitzmas” with him this way, either. So its’s no skin off him to appear and laugh at these impotent dems.
