"And Echoed...

... in the wells of silence"

"In a case closely monitored by Obama’s White House, Cheney is gotten off the hook for 180 million dollars he paid in bribes to a murderous dictator, in an arrangement with Nigeria’s subsequent government, put together by George H.W. Bush and former Secretary of State James Baker. $250,000,000, most of it released from secret Swiss accounts, is the price to avoid an Interpol international arrest warrant issued for Cheney, with a wink and a nod from Obama officials. Cheney should have been prosecuted under federal criminal RICO law with accessory to murder.

For someone who can dodge murder related bribery charges in the hundreds of millions of dollars, with the full complicity of Obama’s department of Justice, it should come as no surprise a State of Texas Grand Jury indictment of Cheney can be quashed in another case of what clearly appears to be racketeering influenced corrupt organizations (essentially a mafia) tied to Cheney. Typically a Grand Jury is made up of thoughtful, intelligent citizens known to be of good character and citizenship, meeting in secrecy. These are not people in a position of abusing power but deliberately selected to meet and consider preliminary evidence of crimes and decide whether prosecution is in order. When considering evidence which has been presented, they are sequestered and there is no state official present to influence their decision. It is a fair assumption to state, if a Grand Jury indicts, there has been convincing evidence of crime has been assessed and accepted. In Cheney’s case, he did not even bother to send a lawyer to defend himself and the judge quashed the indictment with a warning to the District Attorney not to file another case."
