Larisa in December:

Sat, 2008-12-20
By Larisa Alexandrovna

I have been to Mr. Connell's home. Mr. Connell has confided that he was being threatened, something that his attorneys also told the judge in the Ohio election fraud case. When I met with Heather, his wife, I did so carefully because of the threats he was getting.

Not warned to avoid flying? Velvet Revolution claims that his life was in jeopardy in JULY, Arnebeck sought protective custody, and VR warned a close associate of Connell's not to fly. You have been unaware of all this???!!!

FROM VELVET REVOLUTION:

A tipster close to the McCain campaign disclosed to VR (Kimberlin) in July that Mr. Connell's life was in jeopardy and that Karl Rove had threatened him and his wife, Heather. VR's attorney, Cliff Arnebeck, notified the United States Attorney General , Ohio law enforcement and the federal court about these threats and insisted that Mr. Connell be placed in protective custody. VR also told a close associate of Mr. Connell's not to fly his plane because of another tip that the plane might be sabotaged.


A sworn declaration by Brett Kimberlin about having recieved a tip about the threats was submitted to the court (taken from court documents):

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR EXPEDITED

HEARING AND MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO NONPARTY MICHAEL CONNELL’S MOTION TO QUASH

On July 19, 2008, two days after this news conference that was widely disseminated within the blogosphere, an anonymous tipster, describing himself as beingwithin the McCain Presidential campaign, reported that Rove had threatened Michael Connell for the apparent purpose of intimidating him from giving truthful testimony against Karl Rove. See Declaration of Brett Kimberlin, Exhibit B, ¶ 3.

Kimberlin's sworn delcaration has seemingly now been sealed by the court, (though I read it when it was still available) :

Shortly after Connell was named as a potential witness in Arnebeck's lawsuit, (sic)Brett Kimberland (sic), co-founder of the democracy-watchdog website Velvet Revolution, received the first in a series of phone calls from an anonymous source who claimed to be a concerned citizen inside the McCain campaign. "We were told that there were 10 teams in play in 2004 across the country, in an effort to rig the election for Bush," says Kimberland. "The tipster told us that even though the players were no longer there, the setup still existed in Ohio."

When the tipster told them that Connell was being threatened by Rove, Arnebeck attempted to get federal protection for him. But none was provided. However, a federal judge allowed Arnebeck to depose Connell the day before the 2008 election. Connell's lawyers asked that all conversations relative to alleged intimidation by Rove be sealed by the court, a request the judge granted. The transcript of that deposition has not yet been made available, but Arnebeck discussed the meeting in detail for Scene. http://www.freetimes.com/stories/15/90/poi...


Larisa now:

He was not warned to avoid flying

There was never a threat on his person that I am aware of


Then Larisa, you seem utterly, completely unware of the subject you write about, or you are calling Kimberlin a liar (well, he IS a convicted perjuror). It doesn't explain how you knew something in December and un-know it now.
