1. Next Up: U.S. Attorneys Scandal
by Scott Horton of Harper's
....Gonzales is said to be drawing President Bush steadily deeper into
the conflict. In one piece, Waas reports that the late-night hospital
visit that Gonzales paid to former Attorney General John Ashcroft was,
according to Gonzales’s statement to investigators, directed by Bush.
In a second, Gonzales reportedly states that Bush directed him to
write up a summary of Gonzales’s meeting with Congressional
leaders—the famed “Gang of Eight.”

2. Prosecutor Misconduct Lecture At Pace
Law School
posted by Westchester.com
In celebration of the first Monday in October, Bennett L. Gershman,
professor of law at Pace Law School and a former prosecutor with the
Manhattan District Attorney’s office, will speak about “The Most
Dangerous Role of the Prosecutor,” ....
“Most dangerous misuses in our history.” If allegations are true in
these recent cases, Gershman says, they may represent the most
dangerous misuses of prosecutorial power in our history....Professor
Gershman will explore the following cases.
· Don Siegelman was the governor of Alabama from 1998-2002,
previously held numerous state offices, and was a major political force
in the state. In May 2004, Siegelman was indicted by the US Attorney
on charges related to bid rigging of state contracts. The trial was held
in mid 2006. Siegelman was convicted of a bribery charge after the
jury twice reported that it was deadlocked over 11 days of
deliberations. The appeal is scheduled to be argued in October.
Allegations have been made that Siegelman was targeted for
investigation and prosecution to further the interests of the Alabama
Republican Party.
