SIEGELMAN: Absolutely.
BLITZER: We've got a response here from Karl Rove's office. Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, is saying to us this comment, when asked if he wanted to comment on Don Siegelman's case. We called him directly several times here for this interview I'm doing with you.
They say, on the record: "Karl has said over and over again that he played no role in the prosecution of Don Siegelman. There is nothing else to say about the guy."
Let's stop there.
Let's go to break.
When we come back, I want you to answer what Karl Rove's lawyer has just sent to us so that I can read to the viewers. We'll let you have a crack at it.
SIEGELMAN: Thank you.
BLITZER: Governor, thanks for being with us, by the way.
We'll continue this interview on the other side of this break. (COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BLITZER: It's a curious case
Welcome back.
I'm Rick Sanchez.
Talking to former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman. He has been found guilty of bribery. And though his case has been appealed, he may very well be going back to prison in this case.
The key point here is what was Karl Rove's doings in this case?
And the reason it's brand new now, at least in terms of back in the news cycle, is because Karl Rove, as well as Harriet Miers, have now both agreed to go back and talk to the House Judiciary Committee. And they're going to be asked questions about Mr. Siegelman's case. That's why we're talking to the governor now.
Are you convinced, governor, that Karl Rove directly -- I don't mean somehow directed to his office -- that he directly had you prosecuted?
