    Judge Noel Hillman
    Former Chief of the Office of Public Integrity

    Hillman was the lead Justice Department prosecutor in the Jack
    Abramoff Capitol Hill lobbying scandal. The investigation into
    Jack Abramoff took a surprising turn when the Justice
    Department said the chief prosecutor Hillman would step down
    because he had been nominated to a federal judgeship by
    President Bush. This effectively ended the Abramoff
    Investigation.

    U.W. Clemons
    Birmingham Judge

    Clemons is a judge in Birmingham who dismissed the first
    proceedings against Siegelman with prejudice and went out of
    his way to suggest he suspected inappropriate conduct on the
    part of prosecutors. Clemons is the only Democratic appointee
    among the judges.

    William “Bill” Holcombe Pryor
    Former Alabama Attorney General and a Federal Judge on the United
    States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

    William Pryor was a ferociously partisan figure and one of the
    most controversial judicial nominees in recent memory; he
    previously served as Alabama’s Attorney General. He used his
    position to initiate a criminal investigation of Siegelman within
    weeks of Siegelman’s inauguration as governor.

    Alberto Gonzales

    Former US Attorney General

    The most talked-about attorney this past year by a mile,
    Gonzales, 52, rose from being the grandson of illegal immigrants
    to the first Hispanic attorney general of the United States.
    George W. Bush appeared to be grooming the man he
    affectionately calls “Fredo” for the U.S. Supreme Court.
