The Don Siegelman Case Looks Fishier Still

Time Magizine goes into the irregularities. Most notably, Clayton Lamar (Lanny) Young Jr., a lobbiest and principal witness against Siegelman offered information about numerous Republicans too, but none of them were even investigated.

I have to agree with Josh Marshall’s rule of thumb, “Not that there’s nothing fishy there, but as a rule, the more moving parts to an alleged conspiracy, the more skeptical I am,” but more and more about this seems just plain whack.

What is most concerning is that if this was a conspiracy, it means that hundreds of people, from the US Attorney to low level clerks and secretaries had to be aware of it, and no one said anything.

This implies that the politicization of the DoJ is basically complete.
