<\/a>Incredibly, the Bush-appointed prosecutors in the Siegelman case (who are, inexplicably, still<\/i> on the job!) have now requested an even longer sentence<\/i> for the former Democratic Gov. of Alabama who was railroaded as part of a Rove-led political prosecution.<\/p>\n

RAW STORY offers the amazing details<\/a> on the twenty-year sentence<\/i> now being sought by the federal prosecutors to replace the seven years he was originally screwed with. The entire prosecution needs to be entirely thrown out, just as the case against Republican Sen. Ted Stevens was.<\/p>\n

And where is AG Eric Holder in all of this? I’d sure as hell love to know, as I asked in my April 13th letter to him<\/a> on behalf of VR’s Restore Justice at Justice campaign<\/a> requesting an investigation of all<\/i> illegal, Bush-era political prosecutions.
