Bush/Cheney/Card/Libby WERE NOT INDICTED by Chicao Grand Jury
I think Tom Flocco needs to stop bogarting whatever he's got stashed in his sock drawer.

I think if I see another thread about 'Bush/Cheney/Card/Libby' getting indicted in Chicago by the ghost of Steve McQueen or something, I am going to eat my own head.

:P

2. I'm with you there!
If I see yet another thread on this bogus indictment gleaned from the World Weekly News of blogs, I'm going to go (virtually) postal.

THINK, people! For God's sake when you post looneytunes crap like that it makes us all look like dumbshit idiots.

3. Yeah, that shootout down the street from me between MI6 and the CIA
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 03:06 PM by Walt Starr
really bummed me out and I know damn well and good the super secret Chicago Grand Jury had its meetings disrupted.

Had something to do with a samurai who was contracted by Al Queda to infiltrate Mossad and cause the trouble between MI6 and the CIA, but the FBI caught wind and now they're all SOL.

5. I'm tempted to start another thread...
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 03:07 PM by Cooley Hurd
...just to have the opportunity to watch a human eat its own head. I mean, when do you have an opportunity like that??? :D

Seriously, when I see a thread inspired by Tom Flocco, I usually click "hide." :eyes:

7. Eat your own head?
Hmm...not sure how one would do that, but I HAVE heard that Mr. Momomoto, a famous Japanese person, can swallow his own nose.

Or was it his brother?

:shrug:

8. Why do you think Cheney is skipping the country today?
You think it's just a COINCIDENCE?

What is it with this guy Flocco anyway? Is he, like, SANE? I don't doubt that there will be indictments, but obviously he just made this whole thing up. I hope that I never see him cited here ever again. If he had any credibility, it's shot now.

9. "Thomas Heneghan" is FBI Dis-info as is Stew Webb - Why Flocco is
selling (CIA'er ...??...)Barbara Hartwell and the above two folks is a mystery to me.

20. Shut up! What are you talking about?
O'Reilly NEVER supported them. That's just more of that librul spin from Hollywood.

22. Of course.
We're just adding fuel to rumors. But! "They" will have Cheney's mug shots on Fox tonight. It's true. If you don't believe me, ask me.

11. Last night I made a real fool of myself...
...posting a link to the Flocco story on another website. That's what wishful thinking will do to ya!

The reason I believed it is because it's consistent with what I already know about the Plame case. I still think most of it will turn out to be true, but I wasn't expecting indictments for another couple of months at least.

16. Full of Disinfo
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 03:46 PM by CTFT
Impeachment works if you have a non-corrupt Congress (as we
currently have), but you can indict the Prez as long as you want and
until he has murdered someone, it's not going to happen!!!

Japan indicted him in a civil suit 2003 and a civil suit does
nothing. You can try and sue the Prez:)

Go back to Flocco's website and look at the comments. Even his own
loyalist's don't believe his BS on this. The only person backing him
up is OrlandoMary and her only source documents lead to Stew Webb who
is a Disinfo Agent.

I agree that Bush needs to go but it's not going to happen like this?
Bush could probably murder someone and do it openly and still get
away with it.

There are numerouus lawsuits out against Bush and Cheney and they go
no where. Look at the Federal Registar or the Dist Court that covers
DC.

Sorry to deflate anyone's hopes here.........

THE RIGHT TO INDICT?
STUART TAYLOR: No, I don't think so. I think probably the better of the argument is that you cannot indict a sitting President in a criminal proceeding, at least not for something like this. And I don't think this changes that at all. He has not admitted to committing a crime. You notice - he only admitted - and it is exquisitely negotiated -- I won't call you a liar if you don't call me a vast right wing conspiracy, right. But he has admitted that some of his answers were false. He has admitted that he was deliberately misleading. Some of that he had admitted before. He admitted that it obstructed the bar proceeding-- I'm sorry, the civil lawsuit and agreed to accept a five-year suspension. He hasn't agreed to any criminal sanction at all, and he has most definitely has not said anything that's tantamount to "I committed a crime."

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/law/jan-june01/deal_1-19.html

KEN GORMLEY, Duquesne University School of Law: Well, Margaret, I believe that when Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski looked at this during Watergate and also Robert Bork, then the solicitor general, they concluded that it was most likely not constitutional to indict a sitting president, that's, in fact, why President Nixon was not indicted and Jaworski just named him an unindicted co-conspirator. I think if you look at the constitutional history, if you look at Alexander Hamilton in Federalist 69 and 77, it was clear what he envisioned was that the president would have to be removed from office before he could be indicted or prosecuted. And when you look at the separation of powers, ramification of this, it becomes really clear why that's the rule. It creates gargantuan problems if you allow a sitting president to be indicted and prosecuted because with that comes the ability of another branch of government to incarcerate him, to arrest him, to put him in jail. And that can effectively stop the functioning of the government because, unlike any of the officials who Professor Freedman mentioned, vice president or a federal judge, the president is the sole head of the executive branch. He's the commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, he is the head of all the executive departments and if you are allowed to indict and prosecute this president, you can also put him behind bars and keep him effectively from being able to govern the country.

17. I got Flocco's hallucinations in my email earlier
I was crushed when one of my smarter than me political comrades on the string informed us that sitting Presidents cannot be indicted only impeached.

I am not pleased!

I am sick of opening this crap and getting all excited only to find out it's bullshit :(

Sounds like an alcoholic beverage. They might need one after being indicted.
