This is from a local perspective, if anyone wants to see. Of course Dems are yelling that Alabama's republican governor is behind this, just to get rid of them. However, they are thinking these people were arrested by Alabama law enforcement for something to do with gambling. Actually, the reason they were arrested has nothing to do with gambling. They were arrested by the FBI for many charges, including political payoffs for votes.

Why are the feds even concerned about gambling in Alabama? Where in the constitution does it allow the feds to police state’s legislators?

Let me guess...Karl Rove was behind this one, too. According to former Alabama Governor Don Seigelman (D-Federal Prison), Rove masterminded his prosecution and conviction.
“The Architect” must have a thing for Democratic pols in the great state of Alabama.
