Former Alabama Governor Says Documentary Proves Political Hit.

'People in Mobile will soon be able to see a documentary that attempts to make a case that the indictment, conviction and federal prison sentence of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was an orchestrated attempt by Republicans to get him out of their way. . .

Siegelman was released from prison in February 2017. He recently came to Mobile to promote a documentary that purports to show how several high-ranking Republicans conspired to bring Siegelman down. . .

The documentary, ‘Atticus vs The Architect, The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman’ will be shown at the Mobile Public Library on December 3rd at 2 p.m. Here is a link to the trailer for the film.

The film caused controversy over its Montgomery showing earlier this year when it was blocked from being shown at a theater where one of the federal prosecutors in the Siegelman case sits on the board.'

Former AL Gov. Don Siegelman Says Media Ignoring Details of His 'Electronically Stolen' 2002 Election
Has Given Story to 60 Minutes, Dan Abrams, LA Times, WaPo...All Have Failed to Report His Allegations While Covering Other Aspects of His Story...

from the article...

Mark, I mention the vote stealing in every interview. 60 Minutes cut it out. Don Abrams didn't want to go there either. I have told the story to the Washington Post and LA Times.
he hook is Rove's fingerprints are found there too. First, in that Rove's friend Jack Abramoff hires Dan Gans,was in charge of " electronic ballot security" in Baldwin County, Alabama,where the votes were stolen. Gans, working for the Alexander Strategies Group, claims credit for the win on his website, which he then takes down when Abramoff gets arrested. The second is Rove's business partner, Kitty Mc Cullough (a/k/a Kelly Kimbrough) is given credit for the electronic vote switch by the state Republican Party.
