Outrageous "Justice" from GOP Judge

December 27, 2007

The 11th Circuit should release Don Siegelman because he has been denied his right to an appeal based on a technicality and Judge Fuller is refusing to come clean about why he refused bond for the former governor. Alabama, where is the outrage? Republicans talk about activist judges being bad for our society... I can't think of anything more activist than partisan justice from the DOJ and the federal bench.

On September 27th, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered District Judge Mark Fuller to show cause for denying Don Siegelman an appeal bond and ordering Siegelman’s immediate incarceration.

On October 4th, Fuller refused the appeal court’s order saying, “ [This Court] will not issue a lengthy written opinion on this matter.”

On October 7th the 11th Circuit again ordered Judge Fuller – for a second time – to show cause for denying Siegelman’s appeal bond and ordering Siegelman’s immediate incarceration.

Today is December 27.   It has now been 50 Days since the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals SECOND ORDER directing District Judge Mark Fuller to show cause for denying Siegelman appeal bond:

Don Siegelman has now been imprisoned for 5 months and 29 days with no explanation as to why he was denied an appeal bond.

"Siegelman held captive until after 2008 elections" Riley wants Siegelman held captive until after the 2008 election since he is being groomed for a vice presidental GOP candidate. The GOP operatives are using the prison system to keep him from talking to the media about Gov. Riley's past. This is a partial list of the skeltons that he dosn't want the big media to know about: vote stuffing by voting sytems expert Dan Gans; and millions of dollars of illegal campaign money channeled by Jack Abramoff, Michael Scanlon, Toby Roth, Rob Riley and William Canary.

"Siegelman held in isolation" The Bush's new GOP network has got to keep Siegelman held captive until after the 2008 election since Bob Riley is being groomed as a possible GOP vice presidential candidate. The GOP operatives are using the prison system to keep him from talking to the media about Gov. Riley's past and Alabama's dirty history of campaign corruption. (a)When Siegelman was Secretary of State and Attorney General, he worked with all branches of law enforcement which investigated sham organizations, Contra drug trafficking, tax evasion and money laundering. The investigations found that much were linked to high ranking politicians in Alabama as well as Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Arkansas. Siegelman is a very smart attorney. He holds two law degrees. He knows more about Alabama's politics than anyone, being the only person in history to have served the top four government offices in Alabama and he has first hand experience of how a White house backed conspiracy works.This is a partial list of the skeletons that they don't want big media to know about:(a)The White House Staff has classified information from Diebold Election Systems, Inc. of Allen, TX.) which was shared with Dan Gans of Riley's staff. This included Diebold software code and registers addresses for each candidate along with passwords and a method of remotely accessing the voting machines. This was used for voter stuffing in several counties in Alabama.(b) Millions of dollars of dirty campaign money was used to defeat Siegelman's Education Lottery and to defeat his gubernatorial campaigns. The money came from big business clients of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Michael Scanlon, Toby Roth, Rob Riley and William Canary.(c) Several different National GOP associations along with some sham organizations ran by Robin Vanderwall, Preston Gates, Ralph Reed, Glover Norquist and William Canary laundered the money so that it wouldn't be obvious who the donors were.(d) The newspaper presses of big media giant Newhouse/Advance Publications (controlled by Billionaire Donald Newhouse) agreed to print articles hand fed to them by top law enforcement and federal attorneys to create a corrupt public image of Siegelman, and other top Democratic politicians.

I think that Mr Riley wanted Mr Siegelman out of the way, he didn't care how he did it and that is wrong.There needs to be some serious inquires into this injustice.
