Siegelman believes Rove will never testify truthfully

Source: Raw Story - Larisa Alexandrovna

Former Alabama Democratic Governor Don Siegelman is trying to get answers as to why he was targeted for prosecution by the Department of Justice.

In an exclusive interview with Raw Story, Siegelman expresses his concerns about the negotiations taking place between former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and Congress over Rove’s failure to appear before the US House Judiciary Committee and testify about Siegelman’s case. Rove has denied any involvement in Siegelman’s prosecution and has offered to testify to Congress about the matter but has failed to appear when subpoenaed.

Rove received a third subpoena on February 13 relating to Siegelman and his alleged involvement in the firing of US Attorneys, and is scheduled to appear today. The House Judiciary Committee, the White House and Rove are said to be in negotiations.

Siegelman believes that the topic of these negotiations is Rove's demand for immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony. He does not believe that Rove would risk showing up and testifying under oath and answer truthfully without immunity.

I want to know who thinks Rove will testify truthfully who isn't smoking wacky weed.

or something ...

come on, people!!! Get real!

been built on lies, I guess that's a pretty safe bet.

he has been subpoenaed before and didn't respond and it's only now that he feels like showing up.

he knows full well that nothing will happen to him if he lies.
