In reply to the discussion: How Karl Rove fixed the FBI investigation of his theft of the 2004 Presidential election in Ohio [View all]Cliff Arnebeck
(305 posts)Mike Connell's death has not yet been properly investigated as the result of the crime that it was.
An anonymous source from within the McCain campaign informed us: first, that Rove had issued a threat, through Jeff Averbeck, of adverse consequences if Connell did not take the fall for the theft of the 2004 Presidential election in Ohio, and then later, that Connell was willing to talk and that he was in danger from Rove. The second report prompted us to press for Connell's deposition before the 2008 election and for his personal attendance at the Cleveland federal court hearing on whether the deposition would proceed.
Connell did not "take the fall." Indeed, he pointed the finger at others for the obvious security issues raised by having SmarTech servers mirroring the Ohio Secretary of State's entire election operation.
Attorney General Mukasey did not designate the December 19, 2008 crash as a crime scene, so it was investigated by the NTSB to determine other possible causes. Later, when another informant using the pseudonym of Mark Felt (Deep Throat of Watergate), transmitted a post operation report on the termination of Mike Connell as a national security threat, the Cleveland FBI decided there was nothing to it. When I asked the Columbus FBI to meet with me, Bob Fitrakis and Henry Eckhart to discuss all the evidence we had of an ongoing racketeering conspiracy, I was advised that because the Cleveland FBI decided there was nothing to it, they were not going to look at it any further. Stanley Borgia at this point was serving on the President's Intelligence Advisory Panel.
The federal court in Columbus declined to permit us to take the deposition of Karl Rove, whom we had successfully subpoenaed with the cooperation of Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
We are hoping to soon have both the judicial forum and the necessary resources to proceed with a proper investigation of Karl Rove's role as the principal perpetrator in an ongoing pattern of corrupt activity, including, but not limited to, strategic assassinations.
