Yesterday, a New York Times article reported the request for an investigation into Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman's prosecution. This comes on the heels of the case being dropped against former Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens because of prosecutorial misconduct. The similarities between the two cases are too many to ignore. The cases are parallel in the types of misconduct, as well as the prosecutors in the cases. Stevens case was dropped, and now there is a bi-partisan effort from 75 former states attorneys to investigate the prosecution of the Siegelman/Scrushy case.
Why is this significant? Because these two cases are just two of the highest profile cases that are highlighted in our documentary. A new political documentary, "The Political Prosecutions of Karl Rove", directed by John McTiernan, highlights case after case of political targets that were hunted and tried by the U.S. Department of Justice. The film reveals startling evidence of a Republican led witch-hunt and offers indisputable evidence of Democrats across the country and across every level of politics who were victims of a rogue Justice Department on a political rampage.
In the months leading up to the 2008 general election, indictments of elected Democrats increased by nearly 50 percent...and each of the cases demonstrate disturbing parallels to the Ted Stevens and Don Siegelman cases. It is unknown how deep the Department of Justice went to try to keep Republicans in power, but "The Political Prosecutions of Karl Rove" delves deeper than any other current account to examine the corruption of Justice under the Bush administration.
