Siegelman whistleblower run off road, home caught fire

Wow, this happened in February, and yet did anybody hear about this? Whistleblower Dana Jill Simpson's home caught fire, and then a few days later, her car was run off the road by a former police officer! This is all in addition to Don Siegelman's home being broken into twice, as was his lawyer's office.

What the hell is going on?

These crimes raise serious questions about possible use of deliberate intimidation tactics not only because of who the victims are and the already wide criticism of the prosecutions to begin with, but also because of the suspicious nature of each incident individually as well as the pattern collectively. Typically burglars do not break-into an office or private residence only to rummage through documents, for example, as is the case with most of the burglaries in these two federal cases.

In Alabama, for instance, the home of former Democratic Governor Don Siegelman was burglarized twice during the period of his first indictment. Nothing of value was taken, however, and according to the Siegelman family, the only items of interest to the burglars were the files in Siegelman's home office.

Siegelman's attorney experienced the same type of break-in at her office.

....

The incidents are not limited to burglaries. In Mississippi, former Judge John Whitfield was the victim of arson at his office. In Alabama, the whistleblower in the Don Siegelman case, Dana Jill Simpson, had her home burned down, and shortly thereafter her car was allegedly forced off the road.

10. If it were only this administration that were guilty of things like this...

we would be lucky, I don't think the corruption is just the latest administration. It would be an amazing task if one administration could come into office and just do all the things like the war or attacking the constitution with no consequences. I don't think our politicians have just begun doing illegal things, we just haven't seen it done out in the open like they do now. It tells me that the corrupt are very comfortable in the fact that most Americans are brainwashed sheep or people that just don't want to admit the awful truth about our own goobernment.

Things will only get worse in the future if more people don't get involved or at least pay attention.

11. Bush's Watergate, anyone?

Seriously, how the fuck has the media not picked up on this? Woodward? Bernstein? Where are you guys?

[ColbertWatcher]

12. This is not his first "Watergate"...

...wouldn't that be the energy meetings?

Or the August 6, 2001 meeting when he ignored the PDB?

Or maybe when they ignored Katrina?

Or the U.S. Attorney's scandal?

So many crimes from this party.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

The media is owned by arms manufacturers and other huge corporations. They will not risk any damage to their bottom line by rocking the boat.
