Velvet Revolution: Cliff and Bob just had a press conference, talking about the next steps you are going to take in litigation. It looks like you're looking for discovery to understand the facts behind what happened in 2004 and make sure this doesn't happen in 2008.
Can you give us an idea of the kinds of people or the names of people that you intend to target?
Cliff Arnebeck: At the very top of the list is probably Mike Connell. For the same reason that Spoonamore is so valuable to us as a witness, Connell has a breadth of perspective in this stuff and when Connell, with his politics and his position, identifies Triad and the Rapp family as an area, as a point of vulnerability - Well, we're saying, if Connell makes the same observation --which we think he will because if you look at this objectively, it makes no sense. Here's a guy, he's a mathematician or an engineer or whatever; we anticipate he is going to say "Yeah, that looks odd."
So Connell's an important witness and because we're talking about a conspiracy, one of the problems is you say 'where's the coordination, where's the communication?' -- Here's one individual who's been part of all the elements of the things that we think are problematic.
Bob Fitrakis: He's a high IQ Forest Gump. It's like everything important -- 2000 election Florida; 2004 Ohio; firewall in Congress -- he happens to show up and be the builder of these
penetrable forces and also may know who has the key to get in.
VR: So he's at the scene of the crime... whether he's pulling the gun or not.
BF: Every single crime -- Well even more than that. He's the guy who made the gun.
VR: Now you mentioned KR , who's been your interest in the deposition?
