Devil In Disguise

Devil in Disguise | Me and The Gov Episode 8

For the first time in this series, we bring on a guest who isn't Governor Siegelman himself. Tommy Gallion is a lifelong Republican, a senior Montgomery attorney, and one of the most connected political figures in Alabama history — with no track record of helping Siegelman, until now.

Gallion reveals, in his own words, that he was personally invited to a meeting where Karl Rove was expected to attend to discuss indicting Governor Siegelman during the middle of a political campaign. He said no. Weeks later, he picked up the newspaper and read that Siegelman had been indicted.

Gallion also goes back to 1994, describing a separate encounter where Rove pushed a different Republican candidate to go dirty on his opponent — and the smear campaign, run through University of Alabama law students, that followed in a different race that same year.

We put Rove's own sworn congressional testimony up against Gallion's account, ask him point blank why he believes Siegelman and Richard Scrushy were targeted, and close with new details about the meeting itself — including exactly where it was held.

This is Episode 8 of Me and the Gov — a series of in-depth conversations with former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, hosted by Nick Collado.
