before mr rove armed siegelman don siegelman daughter and i wanted to say you know i'm sorry about everything that's happened but i really want to hear from you you know you're top of the story and also if there's anything at this point that you could do for us to make this all go away but of course you didn't get to see that because he cut me off and he started yelling at me because finger really close to my face. you know it's weird because he started to run away . while he was. and shaking his finger and so it sort of following him. and. gave us basically what he was telling you that i have a message that you tell him not my name to make money or i'm going to press charges and on the screen and exactly what he. thought about it. after about that. which is just sort of ridiculous because god doesn't even have a book. really capitalizing on this horrible thing that happened. projecting onto. his own motives and his own behavior everyone can hear me yeah yeah. i agree he was he was projecting his own motives and behaviors onto you your dad's on the line right now with this governor don siegel

you have a brilliant chapter in your book about don siegelman and his story don siegelman i should i should say as a pro personal friend of mine i'm very familiar with what happened with him on my radio show over the last five six years we have been pounding on this and dogs been on the program many many times i know his daughter dana as well tell tell our viewers about karl rove's role in the first ball what happened and who does he want to was and what karl rove's role was in this will i think it's just a spectacular travesty of justice and the people don't understand. really what the u.s. attorneys scandal was it was about it's not insisted eight or nine u.s. attorneys were fired for not toeing the line of the bush justice department one of the key question to what about the other u.s. attorneys what were they doing and the answer is they were prosecuting democrats and there's no more egregious case than that of don siegelman. and in alabama once bush took office it turned to that karl rove had a friend in it so certainly bill canary who is sort of the local karl rove in alabama h

. >> john siegelman was the former governor, lt. governor, attorney general for the state of alabama. he was considered a threat by republicans like karl rove, because usually southern democratic senators do well in national elections. he was targeted for destruction. they wound up going after him for a bribery charge on a case where he didn't get a dime! he was actually dealing with a guy named richard crushy who wound up helping on a cause and being on a board that he was already on. it was one of the weakest cases i've ever seen. i care more about political corruption than almost any other story. if there was a hint of corruption here, i'd say i don't give a damn and i've gone after democrats a million times, but there was no such thing. they target him and today, don siegelman headed back to prison in oakdale. you see him going to prison. as i look at that picture it makes me sick. i can't believe he's about to serve another 69 months on this gross mischaracterization of justice. here's what he told 60-mile an hours. >> siegelma

what out of his way to sit down and shake his hand and say something to siegelman and. i don't recall the exact phrasing used in your book but it was something like he wanted to get close to his prey is he really predatory a man. i think there's something very weird about him he's on some level he is becht accurately disciplined he is very very smart there's no question about it he can assimilate vast amounts of data and spit it out in ways that form a real strategy he is a great strategist but he loves to go in for the kill and i think he tends to there's certain times when he can't resist it i had a very interesting episode on monday at rock that it was time he was in tampa politico had a breakfast at which karl rove was the guest of honor and the speaker. excuse me. and i rose to get to ask a question and he lit in he knew who i was he lit into me he said there goes i'm going to to launch his book watch and monitor what i'm going to weigh anchor and he started saying that i had accused him of murder and all sorts of things and he in many ways were strippers and in my
