The Siegelman case was in federal court, with judges, prosecutors and facilities that are supported by taxpayers across the country. It was in Montgomery, AL, but under federal auspices. We also had well-known companion prosecutions in Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin--plus many lesser-known cases across the country. The Bush U.S. attorney scandal, firing those who refused to engage in political prosecutions, was a coast-to-coast issue.<br /><br />Don't think anyone knows for sure why the Obama admin has refused to address this. I suppose we have a possibility that their stance will change in second term, and I'm hearing that the FBI is looking into some things in the South.
