CBS's Sixty Minutes Interviews Jill Simpson for Siegelman Exposé
Feds May Deny Access to Siegelman in Jail
North Alabama attorney and GOP Whistleblower Jill Simpson was interviewed by CBS's Sixty Minutes Sunday in preparation for an upcoming show on the political prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.
Sources close to Ms. Simpson and the Sixty Minutes show also say the federal prison system has refused to allow an on-camera interview with Mr. Siegelman in the Louisiana prison he is being held in without the benefit of an appeal bond, although indications are that may change.
"Jill did fabulously," Montgomery attorney Priscilla Duncan said. "She was clear and looked great."
The reporter and producers of the show were also pleased with the way the interview went.
"They were all very happy," she said.
Also, the House Judiciary Committee may release the transcript of Ms. Simpson's deposition before the committee staff and legal counsel from a couple of weeks ago on Tuesday.
Comments
Why will the federal prison system not allow an on camera interview with Don? They interview everyone else in prison, even the people who have committed crimes.
Could this be part of the vendetta like everything else that has so unjustly taken place? Or is this another "maneuver" the "three F's" have thrown in, afraid to let the citizens hear the truth again!
