Vice President Dick Cheney faces criminal indictments for illegal activities while CEO of energy giant Halliburton and also illegally intervened to secure a $7 billion no-bid contract for his former employer after his election to office, an analysis by the White House counsel’s office concludes.

The Vice President is currently under investigation by French authorities for bribery, money laundering and misuse of corporate assets while at Halliburton and also faces a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission probe of a $180 million "slush fund" that may have been used to pay bribes.

Although the White House Counsel analysis is not available to the public because of the secrecy of “attorney-client privilege,” it has generated speculation among senior White House aides who suggest the Vice President should step down as President George W. Bush’s running mate for the November Presidential elections. Such talk has increased in GOP circles lately with former New York Senator Alfonse D'Amato Wednesday calling on Bush to dump Cheney.

1. Ahhhhhhhh

The stain that will pollute rethugs for years to come...

Will Americans ever trust them with their troops / Treasury again?

[NC_Nurse]

2. BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I can't wait until all these creeps are indicted! From Chimpy on down!:bounce: :bounce:

[Larkspur]

3. I don't recall Clinton getting

White House Counsel analysis protected from the public because of the secrecy of “attorney-client privilege.” I recall that the Repukes said that the WH Counsel was taxpayer funded and open to public scrutiny.

[Career Prole]

4. Nope...no way...please, anything but "Dump Cheney!"

I want him around to the bitter end. No life raft, no parachute.

7. absofuc*inlutely nt

[radfringe]

5. next question -- will bush* stand behind potty-mouth

and then push him off the cliff?

[Octafish]

9. Before Sneer goes over the cliff...

... Smirk will load on ALL the baggage -- from zero WMDs to cookin' the intel. Nice exit strategy.

What can we do to keep it from working out to their advantage?

[Octafish]

6. Please please please please please BE TRUE!

Couldn't happen to a nicer arch-criminal.



"I wouldn't go there if I were you, pardner."


EXCERPT...

As Cheney warned Democrats "not to seek political advantage by making incendiary suggestions," he made one of his own, implying that Congress was undermining national security by raising questions about how Bush handled 9/11. "An investigation must not interfere with the ongoing efforts to prevent the next attack," Cheney said, "because without a doubt a very real threat of another, perhaps more devastating attack still exists."

21. This sounds like a threat to me.

Like they will do another 9/11 if we dare to not back off.

22. It WAS a threat.

I remember, too, how Cheney was strong-arming the Senate when it had (temporarily) a Democratic majority. Sneer made it clear he wanted zero gruff out of the Congress while the Administration needed all its resources -- from Rumsferatu's DoD slime to AshcaNAZI's DoJ and FBI -- working the Al Qaeda beat. Having to spend time answering questions would only slow down their work to loot the Treasury and subvert the Constitution.

8. Aren't WH counsels public employees? No client privilege?

Where is the media on this one?

[MallRat]

14. BINGO. Those documents should be FOIA-accessible.

That's why * and Cheney lawyered-up with private counsel for their Plamegate "interviews."

[Catfight]

10. These are the headlines we should be reading for the next couple of

months, one indictment after another. There shouldn't be one free person from that maladministration who is free to roam in this great country. WE should deport them all to the Iraqi's and have them tried by the same courts as Saddam. I don't think George W. should even be allowed to run again with the charges against him and his administration. They should all be put in jail with a billion dollar bail. War criminals and liars, the whole lot of them.

[MsUnderstood]

11. That is Cheneyed Up!

The best thing that can happen to BushCo is for them to be able to switch out their backup quarterback.

You know the line will be "Those evil, unpatriotic left wing conspirators took away a very able man who was doing a great job. And now for your viewing pleasure, here is "

And do you think one media outlet will say any of these lines (used to bash Kerry/Edwards

a) This is their second choice
b) This choice is only to bolster their polls
c) Bush and are gay

Heck no! We'll be propograndized to feel sorry for chimpy loosing his organ grinder. . .

[stellanoir]

12. all * will have to say is. . .

"Dick who. . .?"

[lovedems]

19. LOL! They are so stupid they might even use the,

"It was a passing friendship" excuse. They are into recycling lies they *think* work!

[riverwalker]

13. I want Cheney/Bush forever joined at the hip

Cheney basically used the United States military as security for his Kellogg, Brown & Root deals. The war was about money.

"London Lawyer Jeffrey Tesler, a consultant to Halliburton, admitted under oath in May that he made payments from the fund to Albert “Jack” Stanley, president of Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root and a longtime friend and associate of Cheney. The payments, Tesler said, were personally approved by Cheney, who headed Halliburton at the time."

[Disturbed]

15. WH Counsel

No Exec. Priv. for them. that was established with Nixon. The Dems, as usual, are little mice on this issue. When are Dems going to develope any courage? Maybe Nadar is correct when he says that Dems are servants of the Plutocracy?

[Tatiana]

16. Maybe this is what Leahy was getting at (investigating)...

And why, Cheney told him to go F himself. Maybe Leahy is trying to bring this information to light.

[redqueen]

18. Sent a msg to the DNC, called Pelosi's office

we can't just wring our hands and hope that someone brings up the double standard. We have to demand equal treatment ourselves, or not complain when nothing happens.

[Aunt Anti-bush]

24. They should be joined at the hip

in jail shackles. Criminals.

[boobooday]

17. This is so yummy!

The sweet taste of possible justice? It sounds too good to be true!

23. How I wish the stuff that Capitol Hill Blue reports would come true

It's like the fantasy press. What we WISH & what SHOULD happen.

[WilliamPitt]

26. Right?

[TrustingDog]

25. I hope he's jailed....

small comfort in him leaving or getting fired and end up going back to Halliburton racking in his blood money 'legally'.
feh.
what a cesspool.

[revree]

27. BUSH WILL STEAL ELECTION AND PARDON HIM

If'n he goes to jail in the first place.
