1. He denied everything...
at least in the parts of the testimony available to the public. What I want to know is, will he be 'working' tomorrow? I certainly hope nowhere near a computer.

3. thres a post in LBN
WASHINGTON --
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.

7. Then he's not involved or expects a pardon. Because there there WAS electronic vote-flipping.

5. He wants investigators to think he's George W. Bush
He told them he didn't know anything.

6. At least he denied stuff
I don't know tons about law but if he had said 'I don't recall' over and over again and been proven wrong he wouldn't have committed a crime. If he denied it and it turns out to be false he can be imprisoned for lying under oath. And hopefully he'll crack if he is. Supposedly that is why Bush pardoned Libby, Libby would've cracked in prison and told about what was really going on in the white house.

8. I don't think "I don't recall" is a valid answer to: "Did you rig the election?" nt
