[FONT color=#0000bf]Florida attorney Mike Papantonio who, along with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. hosts [/FONT][A href="vny!://www.ringoffireradio.com/"][FONT color=#0000bf]Ring of Fire[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf], weekends on [/FONT][A href="vny!://www.airamericaradio.com/"][FONT color=#0000bf]Air America Radio[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf], was a guest on Mike Malloy's radio program last night. [Complete audio is available at bottom of this article.] He discussed the upcoming whistleblower suits that he and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are filing against several of the voting machine companies. Pap was loaded for bear.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]During the interview, he gave several new details on the federal fraud suits now being filed, which include several whistleblower plaintiffs whose stories were originally reported here at [/FONT][A href="vny!://www.bradblog.com/"][FONT color=#0000bf]The BRAD BLOG[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf], as mentioned last week in a [/FONT][A href="vny!://www.bradblog.com/?p=3023"][FONT color=#0000bf]quick item here[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf], with some fresh details of our own. Pap reported last night that the "dream team of lawyers" they've assembled to take on these evil, irresponsible, anti-American companies includes a bunch of those who took on the tobacco companies in a successful quarter billion dollar suit — so they're not likely easily intimidated, we'd think.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]Papantonio is a senior partner at Levin Papantonio Thomas Mitchell Echsner & Proctor, P.A., a Pensacola lawfirm. ([/FONT][A href="vny!://www.levinlaw.com/"][FONT color=#0000bf]website here[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf]) RFK Jr. is also "of counsel" for this firm.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]Speaking of the level of fraud to be revealed by the suits, which must be sealed by law for 60 days as the Attorney General decides if they will join the complaint, Papantonio told Malloy: "When you hear the details, when you hear the caliber of the fraud... you... it'll make Americans feel like they're living in a damned banana republic, a third world country. I have never heard such outrageous facts."[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]"And you know what?" he continued, "We've had our investigators look at it. We verified everything. And when you hear it, you're gonna say, 'Not in America.' ...Bad news is: Yeah, it is in America."[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]The fraud suits, Papantonio said, are "a way to get at their money, and that's the only thing these people understand."[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]"At the end of the day, we're gonna shut down some of these companies," Papantonio said. "Some day these hacks are gonna be across the table from me, and they're gonna have to answer the questions that nobody else has been able to ask them."[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]Pap excoriated the DNC, "the indolent Democrats and the lazy media," for not participating in any of this, and decried the fact that he and RFK Jr. were essentially forced to take action on their own, given the Dems' failure to do anything.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]He also spoke of the voting machine "sleepovers" about which we've been reporting here in detail of late. As well, he had several kind words for this website and several other election integrity groups. "Unless you had these organizations out there like Black Box Voting or BRAD BLOG, people like that, paying attention to this, this wouldn't even be on the radar screen," he said.[/FONT]

[FONT color=#0000bf]UPDATE: [/FONT][A href="vny!://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2188430&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312"][FONT color=#0000bf]AP finally notices[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf] the spate of lawsuits being filed against these e-voting companies and their shitty wares across the country. AP is still way behind us here at [/FONT][A href="vny!://www.bradblog.com/"][FONT color=#0000bf]The BRAD BLOG[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf], of course, and haven't noticed the RFK Jr. suits, but hey, they don't have the access to the huge resources and manpower that we are able to leverage here with our enormous staff and boundless funding, so we'll cut AP some slack. They're just a little blog or something, right? I'm sure they're doing their best. Thanks to Pam of [/FONT][A href="vny!://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com/"][FONT color=#0000bf]The Democratic Daily[/FONT][/A][FONT color=#0000bf] for the heads up! [/FONT]
