Buchanan: "The CIA Is Talking to Cheney and Keeping Info From Obama."
(summary) That's why Cheney is out on teevee speaking out - to warn and protect us USAmurikans. There are people, insiders at the CIA, who will only talk to Cheney. They won't tell the Commander-in-Chief these horrible things about how he (Obama) is endangering national security and what is REALLY going on. Only Cheney knows. (end of troubling summary)

He really said this, he did, on Hardball tonight. Lawrence O'Donnell laughed in his face and called it "utter insanity and lies". Matthews just let it go. Watch the video on MSNBC.. it is truly, truly the most outrageous thing I have heard in some time.

You Go MSNBC !! Keep that journalistic integrity flowing !

1. Sounds like old Pat needs a subpoena.
My guess is he was just making it up.

27. He probably was. It's called wishful thinking.
I saw him say those things and O'Donnell was right: Pat was talking like Dreamscape, some movie scenario.

someone should take this old man by the arm and lead him to a nice assisted living facility where he could spin his tales all day long to the other residents and aides.

2. I actually believe this. Brennan and others can't be trusted
All of the laws these people broke, I have no doubts they are still hiding information.

10. Where did u see me say Cheney is telling the truth? I believe Cheney and CIA officials are trying to
get their version of the story out to make themselves look better. That story probably is a complete lie, but they are determined to make themselves look better. Brennan and others are no doubt in it with Cheney. i would be surprised if many of them still talk to Cheney from time to time.

I call BS on that. I bet Brennan is one of the guys Obama actually trusts
Considering he knows the CIA inside and out. There is a reason Obama has kept him around. Lets not forget he has actually been with Obama since the campaign.

3. Well, remember MSNBC pays Pat to say this stuff. Can't blame him for making up material
He sort of has two roles on the shows --

-- represent the latest wingnut thought pattern

-- sometimes actually say what he reallly thinks

This sounds like "wingnut thought pattern" mode.

5. Plausible
Cheney has his human plants scattered throughout all the Washington agencies and bureacracies. He could probably make this happen. Isn't there plenty still in place?

Which is why I'm concerned if there's Cheney loyalists in Obama's secret service detail!

24. Agree
Dick Cheney has been around Washington for a very long time .He was head of Dept. of Defense years ago.It is certainly not hard to believe he has many serious contacts in many places.Obama is as green as they come.Pat Buchanan was born and raised in the District and knows his way around the power centers as well as anyone.The reason why Matthews was quiet is most likely because he thinks it is probably true.Wake up people!

12. Thank you for the info
I have a feeling that MSNBC would not like to harbor one like Pat, if he really knows what he says he knows.

This is really beyond the pale. letter being written as soon as I am done here.

Thnx.

14. If he really believes that he needs to be placed under oath ASAP
because basically he's talking about CIA agents committing acts that are very close to treason. Very very close.

15.  I remember reading that they did the same thing to
Bill Clinton. But it sure as heck wasn't to protect the country and if the same shit is going on now it still isn't to protect the country.

20. You know Pat's just an old guy who is out of the loop. On MSNBC, he's a straight man
He believes a lot of this shit so it is easy for him to ad lib.

This was a little over the to, though and O'Donnell kicked his ass ...... which was, essentially, the script.

23. Well if it's true than I'm sure Cheney calls Obama
and brings him up to speed. To not do so would be criminal.

26. Hersch said as much and I believe it. Why not? It's in Cheney's best interest to "know" (cough)
when the next terror attack is coming.

I'm firmly in the MIHOP category but even if you are LIHOP on 9/11, it's entirely possible that Cheney is getting inside scoop on eeeeevvviiilllll-doers, and Obama is not, from Cheney left-behinds.

Remember another terrorist attack only makes Bush/Cheney look good - it "proves" (cough) that torture really DID keep us safe in the War on Terrah! Warrantless wiretapping - natch! Patriot Act Double-Down!

Buchanan needs a subpeona asap. This is a big time revelation and I'm sure he's getting his ass chewed out by Cheney et al. as we speak.
