Cheney faces indictments in US and France

snip - Imminent indictments by the US and France, will force Dick Cheney to resign as VP, citing "health reasons," before the Republican convention and a frenetic search for a new VP candidate is already underway.

A confidential White House Counsel report warns that Cheney has violated both the “spirit and intent” of Federal Conflict of Interest laws, and that pending indictments from a French court will have “serious legal implications.”

Bush’s “brain” faces international charges for bribery, money laundering and misuse of corporate assets while serving as CEO of Halliburton, according to French governmental sources, who have been conducting a long-term investigation.

Back in the US, Dick “Ball &” Cheney will also be charged with illegally intervening in arranging a $7 billion no-bid contract for his former employer (Halliburton), while serving as VP. And, the SEC (Securities & Exchange Commission) is investigating Cheney’s $180 million "slush fund" that he may have employed to pay bribes.


not sure how relevant this website is.....but was wondering - could this be the earth shattering news that Josh Marshall mentioned????????
