We’ve reported for years about the ease with which foreign entities could hack a computerized US election with little possibility of being discovered. Well, guess what classic book was reportedly found on ‘Bin Laden’s Bookshelf’? We discuss on today’s BradCast!
Then, my guest is the imprisoned Gov. Don Siegelman (D-AL)’s son Joseph Siegelman (pictured above with his father and sister Dana just before his father was sent back to federal prison in 2012 to serve out his 6.5 year sentence on “bribery” charges), on the latest disturbing ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals concerning his father’s appeal for a new trial and/or reduced sentence in his outrageously politicized prosecution by the Bush Administration.
Joseph, now an attorney, explains what the court’s decision this week means; where the case goes from here; whether he thinks the Obama Administration will ever right the wrong; and how you can help to restore justice in this matter.
“This is something that shouldn’t happen in America,” he told me. “If a sitting governor can be unseated and prosecuted and imprisoned for something that he did not do — and for something that had not even been considered a crime in this country until he was convicted of it — what chance do anyone one of us have?”
That and a bit more, including listener mail and some breaking voting news out of MD, on today’s BradCast…

Since Osama bin Laden knew about it, it is safe to assume that Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un. and other world leaders are aware of the riggability of US electronic voting systems and have known about it for a long time. I am certain the US corporate media has been aware of it for years but are deliberately not reporting it, as is the case with ThinkProgress and DailyKos. The Democratic party is doing nothing about it. When I saw the documentary “Going Clear” about Scientology, it reminded me of the United States as a whole.
Haven’t heard the Bradcast yet.
Can’t wait!
Son Joseph is an excellent representative for his dad! When are they going to leave this man alone?
Please Obama, do something! Say something!
