Andy Martin: New York news conference explains “back story” of Chicago Sun-Times article on Mark Kirk

(NEW YORK) (June 10, 2010) New York: Andy Martin explained today at a New York news conference the significance and back story to the latest “explosion” in the Mark Kirk military fraud scandal

The Chicago Sun-Times carries a story Thursday about Department of Defense (“DOD”) accusations on December 9, 2009 that Kirk had unlawfully engaged in “partisan political activities.” That accusation was triggered by materials Andy Martin submitted to DOD on August 1, 2009 as part of his Freedom of Information Act filings at DOD. In other words, Martin's complaints to DOD about Kirk’s unlawful activities triggered an investigation that culminated in the Undersecretary’s accusations against Kirk contained in DOD’s December 9, 2009 letter.

Andy Martin continues to be the driving force behind forcing Mark Kirk out of politics. Andy had not previously released his original August 1, 2009 complaints/FOIA demands to DOD which triggered Kirk’s problems with DOD. These letters are now on the internet. “I said last week there was more to come about Kirk, and it is still coming,” Martin says. “No one believed me in January. Maybe people are believing now.”
