Election fraud witness dies in suspicious plane crash

Michael Connell was a Republican computer expert who gave important testimony in the case of Republican fraud that marred the 2004 election in Ohio.

Lawyers thought Connell's testimony would finally nail Karl Rove. In fact, Rove threatened Connell and his wife if Connell didn't take the fall for the election fraud. This was such a serious threat that a lawyer in the case requested witness protection for Connell.

Now, Connell has died in a mysterious plane crash. The 45-year-old was flying alone in his private plane, when the aircraft went down only 3 miles from Akron's main airport. Connell was an experienced pilot who had flown his plane for years.

Mike Connell was an important figure. In addition to being involved in the election fraud case, he also helped the Bush White House destroy its e-mail traffic. If he had ever testified in that case, it would have likely implicated Dick Cheney in criminal activity.

In other words, this man posed a serious problem to the criminal Republican leadership. And now his plane has suspiciously gone down right when he had crucial information to share.

After the GOP criminals sabotaged Paul Wellstone's plane (which there's no denying they did), one immediately suspects sabotage in Connell's crash. The crash is being blamed on the plane running out of fuel, but Connell was such an experienced pilot that he surely checked the fuel gauge before he took off. So it's clear that someone put a leak in the fuel line before the flight.

It also turns out that Connell had to make emergency landings of at least 2 flights in the past 2 months because of suspicious problems.

Or maybe I'm just paranoid for thinking that a gang of sociopaths like that which dominate the GOP today would kill a man who was about to reveal damning information about them. But like I always say: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
