"Key Witness," GOP IT Guru, Killed in Plane Crash

by anderson

Having already been deposed and on the verge of testifying in an election fraud case stemming from the theft of the Ohio presidential race in 2004, GOP IT "guru" Mike Connell has been killed in a plane crash in Ohio.

It looks like we are going to have to start calling the mid-west, Central America.

Larisa has some details about Connell's involvement with the GOP IT operations. In short, he was in deep on the GOP technology front , knew everything about the "man in the middle" set up for the election, and his company ran the mail servers Karl Rove and other White House officials used as a way to skirt record keeping laws. It was his server farm in Chattanooga, Tennessee to where Ohio SoS, J. Kenneth Blackwell, shunted Ohio's election results, which were then sent back to populate the Ohio Secretary of State databases and website that were the source of "official results." His partisan operation, GovTech Solutions, L.L.C., even ran the Capitol Hill IT network, which put Connell "behind the firewall for the US House of Representatives." Connell proudly claimed that he was "loyal to the Bush family."

Michael Connell died in a plane crash last night. He was a key witness in the Ohio election fraud case that I have been reporting on. More importantly, however, he had information that he was ready to share.
You see, Mike Connell set-up the alternate email and communications system for the White House. He was responsible for creating the system that hosted the infamous GWB43.com accounts that Karl Rove and others used. When asked by Congress to provide these emails, the White House said that they were destroyed. But in reality, what Connell is alleged to have done is move these files to other servers after having allegedly scrubbed the files from all "known" Karl Rove accounts.
In addition, I have reason to believe that the alternate accounts were used to communicate with US Attorneys involved in political prosecutions, like that of Don Siegelman. This is what I have been working on to prove for over a year. In fact, it was through following the Siegelman-Rove trail that I found evidence leading to Connell. That is how I became aware of him. Mike was getting ready to talk. He was frightened.

Connell was a known evangelical Christian who probably believed he was doing god's work. At least, he may have thought that until he started getting threats.

It's too bad guys who wind up as "key witnesses" in cases against political dynasties like the Bushes don't have better knowledge of the history of their own government. They might be a little less inclined to fly in small single engine airplanes.
