Horton goes on to note some curious connections between Fuller, the judge in the Siegelman case, and Richard Shelby:
Today, Fuller and Shelby even have offices in the same buildingOne Church St. in Montgomery. That's also where Doss Aviation was registered, with Mark Fuller listed as the company's president, from 1999-2002.
Sure, it was peculiar that Fuller listed a government building as the registered address of a private company that contracts with the government. But what's also peculiar is that the offices for Fuller's previous gig as District Attorney for the 12th Circuit, were at 98 North Edwards in Enterprise (see also). I have no idea why Doss Aviation, with Fuller as president, was registered at One Church Street (the home of numerous government offices including the office of Senator Shelby) years before Fuller became a federal judge. But it does raise a very curious question: who, exactly, was picking up that mail?
Indeed, who was picking up that mail? And here's an even better question: Was Richard Shelby using his power in the Senate to steer contracts to a company in which he held a financial interest? If that is ever proven, could the senator be in some serious doo-doo? Is that why he's so concerned about who becomes U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Alabama?This sounds like a job for Christa Deegan--or someone just like her. Could the Obama administration be thinking along those lines?
If Obama was not thinking along those lines then, he certainly should be now. It's time to play hardball with Richard Shelby.
