"Why Did Obama Administration Ask Judge To Increase Don Siegelman's Prison Sentence?"

According to author Andrew Kreig, Siegelman, who was facing a 7 year prison sentence, is now serving a 20 year sentence,

In 2009, the Obama Justice Department requested that Judge Fuller sentence Siegelman to 20 more years in prison when his appeals are finished."
