“[s]uch a clear conflict of interest does not exist in this case.... Scrushy makes no allegation that [Acting U.S. Attorney] Franklin had any conflict of interest. Moreover, there is no evidence that Canary’s emails influenced any decisions made by the U.S. Attorney’s office in prosecuting Scrushy.”
