Mike Connell, Rove's IT fixer, ordered to testify on Monday

At the end of the day yesterday at the Carl Stokes Federal Court Building in Cleveland, US District Judge Solomon Oliver denied Michael Connell's motion to quash the subpoena issued for his deposition testimony ordered the deposition to take place at Noon on Monday Nov. 3, 2008, in Cleveland.

Connell was a key inside IT contractor for Ken Blackwell in the administration of the 2004 and 2006 elections, while managing the IT function for the Bush Presidential campaigns and other Republican partisan campaigns in 2000, 2004 and 2006.

Plaintiffs' counsel and Plaintiffs' cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore in the King Lincoln case before US District Judge Algenon in Columbus have identified Connell as a key witness to Karl Rove's various maneuvers affecting elections during this decade.

A copy of the minutes of yesterday's proceeding is attached.

All good and well ...

... but I'd be ready for another round of "don't recall", "can't remember" and "don't have an answer".

And if indeed that does come to pass, what I'd be more interested in, will any punishment be extracted for such evasion?

UPDATE 11/04

Or...outright denial.  The depths of fraud and wrong-doing over the past 8 years may NEVER be uncovered.  I hope we truly have an "open government"  Snipped from Kansas City Star. 

Computer expert denies knowledge of '04 vote rigging in Ohio

A Republican computer consultant denied under oath Monday that he knew of any GOP effort to steal the 2004 election for President Bush by rigging Ohio's vote totals, an attorney who questioned him said.

A federal judge on Friday ordered Michael Connell, whose firms had consulting contracts with Bush's campaign and with the Ohio secretary of state's office in 2004, to submit to a limited, closed-door deposition in a suit alleging schemes to fix the vote.

A transcript of the deposition was unavailable, but Clifford Arnebeck, the plaintiffs' attorney, whose clients include the Rainbow Coalition and other liberal groups, said that during some two hours of questioning, Connell "denied any knowledge of the altering of votes."

Connell also denied knowing of any leftover "Trojan Horses" - bits of computer code that could play havoc with Tuesday's vote counts, Arnebeck said.

Connell's appearance, on the eve of the 2008 presidential election, culminated weeks of jockeying over his testimony, amid unsubstantiated allegations that he's been subjected to threats of retaliation if he tells all he knows, and U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver ordered the sealing of any questions about threats to Connell.
