From TPMmuckraker:
Former Gov. Don Siegelman's (D-AL) case has made it to Washington. His cause has been taken up by Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL), who wants the House Judiciary Committee to look into Siegelman's story at a hearing on selective prosecution by the Department of Justice.
A politically-motivated prosecution is not "implausible," Davis said, citing how former US Attorneys David Iglesias and Jack McKay said they were pressured to bring indictments against Democrats. Davis also reminded Conyers of how the Seventh Circuit tossed out a conviction of a former Democratic governor's aide in Wisconsin, calling the case "beyond thin."
