As Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who claims to have used drugs with Sen. Barack Obama in 1999, has ratcheted up his legal wrangling, it appears he’s having some success.

Sinclair told Big Head DC on Monday evening that he’s been notified by WhiteHouse.com’s Dan Parisi to redeposit a check Parisi wrote for $20,000 to Sinclair on February 22. The payment was in exchange for Sinclair taking a polygraph test that was to be displayed on WhiteHouse.com.

A PolyScore computer analysis resulting from the polygraph ultimately indicated Sinclair had been truthful regarding his drug allegations against Obama. Still, experts hired by WhiteHouse.com discounted the PolyScore results.

Parisi canceled payment on the check soon after Sinclair took the polygraph, leading many observers who’ve been swayed by Sinclair’s claims to believe that Parisi may have been compelled by Obama’s campaign to somehow impede Sinclair’s claims. Adding to the controversy, WhiteHouse.com officials eventually removed any mention of Sinclair from the Web site.

The re-issue of the check has not yet cleared, but bank information should be available soon.

RE: REQUEST FOR CELL PHONE AND EMAIL RECORDS

Dear Senator Obama and Mr. Axelrod:

I am submitting this written request asking that you and Mr. Axelrod authorize the release of the following:

1. Cell Phone numbers, service providers for all personal and official cell phones held by Senator Obama for the time period of November 3, 1999 thru November 8, 1999.

This request is being made based on your statement that you intend to bring a new politics to America, a politics of openness, and accountability. The records being requested here can bring to light and/or put to rest claims made about your involvement with Dan Parisi of Whitehouse.com and the rigged polygraph arranged; can if you claim you never met me (as is exactly the claim made by your office directly to John Crewdson of the Chicago Tribune) show you to be lying or telling the truth by releasing your cell phone records etc…

It would seem to me that you would be more interested in getting this matter settled than your continued organized attacks on the Internet.

I respectfully request you respond to this request without delay. I strongly urge you to consider that you yourself can if these things are, as your staff continue to claim, untrue, then your agreeing to release these records should not be a difficult thing for you to do.

Sincerely,

Larry Sinclair

Update, 5:22 p.m.: WhiteHouse.com has removed all Larry Sinclair photos and posts. Dan Parisi, owner of the site, has still not returned Big Head DC’s requests for comment. The plot thickens. (Google cache of the site is still available.)

RE: Returned Check

Dear Mr. Parisi,

Be advised that Lisa Brooks and Myself were notified by US Bank of Duluth this afternoon that Walden Federal (the bank in which Whitehouse.com Check Number 2046 is drawn on) has notified them a STOP PAYMENT was placed on your fee payment of $20,000.00 dated 2-21-08.

I have contacted the Financial Crimes Division of the Duluth Police Department this date concerning this matter. US Bank as informed Ms. Brooks and myself that the check has not yet been physically returned to them unpaid, but that if it is it will be returned to me by March 7, 2008.

I am asking that US Bank provide documentation showing Walden Federal has notified them the check is no good and I will begin the criminal complaint process against you and Whitehouse.com immediately upon receipt of the US Bank documentation.

Ms. Brooks and I will be charged for your dis-honored check and those charges will be included in the criminal complaint against you.

I have given you more than ample opportunity to honor your word and the agreement we had, especially seeing how you have received and engaged in using the very results of the services you paid for. You have chosen to act as if you are above the law and that sir will no doubt be you down fall.

Again, you can avoid this criminal action against you and your company by contacting your financial institution and instructing them to honor the check.

Sincerely,

Lawrence Sinclair
600 W. Superior St., #604
Duluth, MN 55802

Big Head DC has obtained an e-mail sent from Larry Sinclair, the man who accuses Sen. Barack Obama of using drugs and of having a sexual encounter with him in 1999, to Dan Parisi, owner of WhiteHouse.com. The message was sent early this morning:

Mr. Parisi,

This is to inform you yet again that you continue to have up on your web site photographs and reports concerning me which you have publicly stated you have stopped payment for.

You need to remove those posts and make payment for the use of them which has been billed and sent to your New York office and you must do so within 48 hours make said payment if the original payment is returned by your bank unpaid.

While I clearly state to you making payment will not stop Felony check FRAUD charges from being filed against you if the 2-21-08 check you presented for payment is returned unpaid, your paying the billed amount might save you quite a bit in legal fee’s on the civil end.

I have been informed by the bank I will know if your 2-21-08 check is not honored by 3-7-08 and would have the returned check in my hand by that date if it is not honored. If so than that day I will swear out the warrant against you you check fraud.

Until payment is made you are notified to remove my name, photos and the reports and links from your web site of Whitehouse.com.

Thank you,

Larry Sinclair

Update, 1:13 p.m.:

Big Head DC has received a copy of the official November 4, 1999 Illinois General Assembly transcript. The transcript proves that Sen. Barack Obama was absent from the assembly that day due to “personal business.” That date happens to fall near the same time period that Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who claims he used drugs and had a sexual encounter with Obama, alleges he met in secret with the politician.

A November 2007 Politico report indicates that Obama has repeatedly “dodged questions…about releasing papers from his eight years as an Illinois state senator, and his campaign has not answered records requests from the state’s two largest newspapers.”

Still, the publication noted, “Obama’s campaign has prodded Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to make available additional records of her communications during her husband’s presidency.”

Later, during a Meet the Press appearance, moderator Tim Russert asked Obama about the missing records. “We did not keep those records,” Obama said at first.

Then Obama changed his answer, beginning with the statement, “Well, let me be clear.” He went on to say, “The stuff that I did not keep has to do with, for example, my schedule. I didn’t have a schedule. I was a state senator. I wasn’t intending to have the Barack Obama State Senate Library. I didn’t have 50 or 500 people to, to help me archive these issues.”

Obama’s campaign has not responded to requests for comment regarding the politician’s whereabouts on Thursday, November 4, 1999 or the weekend thereafter.
