ORIGINAL: CruelNUnsual Biden is a proven liar and plaigiarist, all there is against Rove is partisan attacks with no substantiation Partisan attacks? Anything like this? Did Ex-Alabama Governor Get A Raw Deal? - CBS News (CBS) Now a Republican lawyer from Alabama, Jill Simpson, has come forward to claim that the Siegelman prosecution was part of a five-year secret campaign to ruin the governor. Simpson told 60 Minutes she did what’s called “opposition research” for the Republican party. She says during a meeting in 2001, Karl Rove, President Bush’s senior political advisor, asked her to try to catch Siegelman cheating on his wife. "Karl Rove asked you to take pictures of Siegelman?" Pelley asks. "Yes," Simpson replies. "In a compromising, sexual position with one of his aides," Pelley clarifies. "Yes, if I could," Simpson says. She says she spied on Siegelman for months but saw nothing. Even though she was working as a Republican campaign operative, Simpson says she wanted to talk to 60 Minutes because Siegelman’s prison sentence bothers her conscience. Simpson says she wasn’t surprised that Rove made this request. Asked why not, she tells Pelley, “I had had other requests for intelligence before.”
