Gov. Don Siegelman's Son on Father's Case; 'Bin Laden's Bookshelf'

Gov. Don Siegelman's Son on Father's Case; 'Bin Laden's Bookshelf'
Subscribe
'Bin Laden Bookshelf' contained a classic book about hacking electronic elections and "9/11 conspiracy theory" books, ex-governor of Alabama Don Siegelman’s son discusses the denial for a new trial for his father, and Maryland governor vetoed a bill that would have restored voting rights to around 40,000 former felons.

We've reported for years about the ease with which foreign entities could hack a computerized US election with little possibility of being discovered. Well, guess what classic book was reportedly found on 'Bin Laden's Bookshelf'? We discuss on today's BradCast!

Then, my guest is the imprisoned Gov. Don Siegelman (D-AL)'s son Joseph Siegelman (his father is serving a 6.5 year sentence on "bribery" charges since 2012), on the latest disturbing ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals concerning his father's appeal for a new trial and/or reduced sentence in his outrageously politicized prosecution by the Bush Administration.

Joseph, now an attorney, explains what the court's decision this week means; where the case goes from here; whether he thinks the Obama Administration will ever right the wrong; and how you can help to restore justice in this matter.

"This is something that shouldn't happen in America", he told me. "If a sitting governor can be unseated and prosecuted and imprisoned for something that he did not do and for something that had not even been considered a crime in this country until he was convicted of it what chance do anyone one of us have?"

That and a bit more, including listener mail and some breaking voting news out of MD, on today's BradCast…
