RezkoWatchers may recall that on February 9, 2008, RezkoWatch received a letter from Alasdair Pepper, whose firm Carter-Ruck represents Nadhmi Auchi, the Iraqi billionaire businessman who wired indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko $3.5 million in April 2007.
On February 14, 2008, former intelligence officer Larry Johnson at No Quarter blog received a similar letter likewise claiming that Johnson's blog contains "highly defamatory and false allegations" about Auchi.
Larry Johnson, who awaits a response, replied to Auchi's solicitor thusly:
For the record, can you please explain why Mr. Auchi allowed the substantial sum of money to be wired to Mr. Rezko? Also, would you please explain under what circumstances they became business partners and what the nature of that business was? It strikes me odd that someone of Mr. Auchi’s wealth would want to get in bed with someone like Mr. Rezko. Seems to defy commonsense.
Also, I have been told that your firm has had contact with a person or persons connected to Senator Barack Obama. Is that true?
