House Judiciary Committee to Interview Simpson
in Siegelman Investigation
By Glynn Wilson Locust Fork
A letter made public today by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., confirms
that the U.S. House Judiciary Committee staff and legal counsel will
interview North Alabama lawyer Jill Simpson Friday, Sept. 14, in
Washington as part of an ongoing investigation into the political
corruption of the judicial system by the Bush White House and
Justice Department.
Some legal experts say the political prosecution of former Alabama
Governor Don Siegelman is one of the most revealing cases in the
country on that score, and it was Ms. Simpson's affidavit sworn in
May that brought the relevant facts about an unfair trial into the light
of public scrutiny.
No date has been set for a public hearing that will be broadcast live
on C-SPAN.

11 N.J. officials arrested on corruption
By TOM HESTER Jr., Associated Press Writer
....Thursday's arrests were the latest in an anti-corruption campaign
waged by Christie's office.
More than 100 public officials in the state have been convicted on
federal corruption charges in the last five years. Two other
Democratic state senators, Wayne Bryant of Lawnside and Sharpe
James of Newark, are among others facing pending corruption
charges.

A Case of Leaking in Alabama
Legal Schnauzer
Charlie McNichol, the law enforcement coordinator and spokesman
for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Mobile, has been charged with
leaking information about a grand jury probe.
Russo might have been targeted in much the same way that
Siegelman was. Evidently Russo was a Siegelman supporter in a
strongly Republican county.
