Siegelman: Exposing Karl McTreason Rove is 'worth every day in prison.'


In an hour-long interview with Thom Hartmann of Air America Radio, former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman pounded hard on what he sees as the three main issues raised by his case: the involvement of Karl Rove in the politicization of the Department of Justice, the apparent theft of the 2002 election in which he was defeated by Bob Riley, and money-laundering by Jack Abramoff and his associates.

"Rove's fingerprints, from start to finish are on this case," Siegelman told Hartmann, continuing a line of argument he began in an
interview last week with Robert Kennedy, Jr. "It's been a very expensive and costly ordeal for me and my family and, you know, we're not whining. If serving nine months in prison and spending every dollar I've got will lead to ... the exposure of Karl Rove's involvement, it will be worth every day in prison and every penny I've spent."
