The Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that Mike Connell’s private plane went down in Lake Township, Ohio tonight, that Connell was killed and was the only person aboard. There are no reports of anyone on the ground being hurt, though the plane crashed in a residential neighborhood.
Connell is a familiar name to readers of The BRAD BLOG as a key witness in the King-Lincoln v. Blackwell lawsuit regarding fraud in the 2004 Presidential Election in Ohio. That recently revived, long-standing lawsuit led to Connell’s deposition on November 3, 2008, the day before the general election. According to plaintiff’s lead attorney Cliff Arnebeck in July, a tipster had warned that Connell had been threatened by Karl Rove, as The BRAD BLOG reported at the time, in an attempt to intimidate him into “taking the fall” for Ohio election fraud not long after the motion to lift the stay in that case.
In late September, the judge in the case agreed to lift the stay, and in late October he compelled Connell to give a deposition to plaintiff attorneys on the Monday before the Tuesday general election.
Connell had been served with a subpoena to appear in the federal court room in Ohio at the same College Park, MD airport where he reportedly left from last night on his final solo flight.
Cleaning House? Or am I just a Conspiracy Theorist. You know what they say about lying down with dogs… Interesting timing regardless.
Yes, Bush had 138,000 fraudulent votes in Ohio.
Oh wait … he won Ohio by that margin in 2000 but that time it wasn’t controversial because it wasn’t “the difference” in the election.
definitely a conspiracy if he didn’t have a pilot’s license.
call Adam! 😉

Yeah, like that time they found a black man in Mississippi with seventeen stab wounds in his back. To quote the local deputy sheriff, “Damnedest case of suicide I ever saw.”
Wow. What a “coincidence”.
Let’s all chant:
“Karl Rove, Karl Rove, Karl Rove”…
This loopy pattern identification/numerology/superstition is what gives us religion.
Any facts at all that provide an actual link? Any at all? No???
Why hasn’t Libby or that Ex Press Secretary making the rounds now been offed? THEY are much more relevant and germane.
Nope. Not interesting at all. Hey, how about Deep Throat dying yesterday ending further Watergate Revelations about what Bush Daddy was doing? Was that interesting too or can only one interesting circumstance be contemplated at a time?

Oh, for Christ’s sake. Put a fucking sock in it, will you?
Are you a one-trick pony, or what? You’re becoming extremely tedious.
You off someone before a depo, not after.
#9, Unless there is still something to come out.
In either case, our loving federal governmental NTSB and FAA will do a thorough investigation of the crash and we’ll know why it went down.
Yea, definitely suspicious. The Ohio election was obviously stolen as can be seen by the fact that McCain won fewer votes than Bush.
Oh wait, Obama won fewer votes than Kerry too.
Oh Please… Only the Clinton’s “OFF” their political liabilities…
Can hardly wait to see how the “Obamanation” deals with their’s…
It’s as convincing as the claim that Eisner killed Jim Henson and doctor Seuss in order to buy their companies and that was also the reason why Rupert Murdoch was so hasty into selling his Fox Kids channel to Disney so quickly.
It is very possible that Karl Rove could fuck up a plane – he’s pretty good at fucking up everything else.
Now he and Paul Wellstone can compare notes. Don’t f’ with the Rove.

Oh conspiracies are fun. Maybe this is Bush’s Vince Foster…
LoL

Hee hee! I hope you asked Santa for a new tin-foil hat, Boy. Yours seems to be wearing out.
#13 – Given time, Disney will kill just about everything.
Disney is nothing but another giant corporation raping the public. I wonder how much Eisner’s bonus was this year.
Disney now costs $67.50 for a one day ticket. This entitles you to stand in line for most of the day.
And on the other hand, given everything Karl Rove is credited for, he must be a demi-god.
-odd, as important as this guy is for the fraud case, you would think the major news orgs (AP, Reuter etc.) would be hardup to mention his somewhat crucial role in the voter fraud investigation..seeing as how the
Right to Vote (even though it’s not explicit) is one of the *ahem* pinnacles of our Constitution.
i can’t even find a shot of the plane wreck yet..
guess everyone is scared shitless to uphold the law when it comes to the current admin.
-even when a 4yr old can see conflicts of
interest.
what was that someone said.. “democracy is an illusion”
-check and mate. *sigh*
-s
(ok, who’s going to be a good’ol capitalist and produce a deck of *house cleaning* cards to sell?)
