We would be remiss as a politics forum if we allowed ourselves to neglect one of the main players in American Politics. Thus I propose we create a compilation of the many accomplishments of this "Man behind the scenes".
Quote:
Simpson said in the affidavit that Republican operative Bill Canary told her and others in a telephone conference call that he had spoken with Rove, referred to in the document as "Karl," and had been assured the Justice Department was pursuing Siegelman.
Simpson said that Riley's son, Rob Riley, asked about Siegelman being a problem in the future, and that Canary said "not to worry about Don Siegelman that 'his girls would take care of him.'"
The affidavit says Canary identified "his girls" as his wife, Leura Canary, the U.S. attorney in Montgomery; and Alice Martin, the U.S. attorney in Birmingham.
"Rob Riley then asked if he was sure 'these girls' could take care of Don Siegelman and William 'Bill' Canary told him not to worry that he had already gotten it worked out with Karl and Karl had spoken with the Department of Justice and the Department of Justice was already pursuing Don Siegelman," the affidavit said.
