Cheney was sending a message with the Blago tapes, "we have everyone of you on tape" that is

[CK_John]

Govs, Senators, House members, and state officials. And we are keeping the master copies when we leave.

That's my sense of this whole indictment.

[The Backlash Cometh]

1. Time for a purge.

The truth shall set you free. After you do 7-20 in the big pen.

[GarbagemanLB]

2. I think it's all a conspiracy. Like 9/11, Mumbai, and the moon landing.

[cali]

3. that's insane. and yeah, I mean that in the most literal sense.

[CK_John]

10. Head in the sand obscures vision. n/t

[Bucky]

15. and hurts the eyeballs

[cali]

16. No. head not swathed in tin foil as yours is, or in the sand.

You constantly post outlandish CT crap without a shred of evidence.

[gristy]

4. What does Cheney have to do with the FBI's recording of Blagojevich's conversations

and why do you think the FBI has everyone on tape?

[cali]

6. Please don't bother applying logic to this post.

It doesn't exist in the rational zone.

[CK_John]

7. The FBI has only what Cheney's blackops gives them. n/t

[Lex]

9. ohhhhh, now I see

:tinfoilhat:

[Mike Daniels]

26. You do know that the Guv. is universally reviled by both parties in Illinois right?

Even if this was some sort of black ops thing (which any sane person can see that it isn't) it would appear that most of the people who live in Illinois are more than happy with the result.

[CK_John]

27. He just gave us a peek at politics as it really is. That's what they are mad about. n/t

[onenote]

34. and were the two judges (one a clinton appointee) that authorized the wiretaps

part of that black ops group? And do blackops groups usually get warrants?

Or are you just too divorced from reality to think about these things?

[EFerrari]

33. The FBI, operating out of the Bush DOJ, has been thoroughly politicized.

And that's why Mueller has to go.

[Renew Deal]

5. Your posts remind me of Seventhson

There's some similarities.

[babylonsister]

8. Wow, that's out there. nt

[Occam Bandage]

11. You are not only dumb as hell, you are mentally imbalanced.

I mean that.

[CK_John]

14. Your concern is touching. n/t

[Occam Bandage]

24. It is not concern. It is bemusement.

[cali]

18. but his posts do provide some comic relief

at least sometimes. And you can learn which of your fellow DUers believe the whacky stuff he posts.

[Marrah_G]

12. OFFS

:headpalm:

[Bucky]

13. Yes, Dick Cheney's complete control over Patrick Fitzgerald is well known...

...in Kookooland.

[Hippo_Tron]

31. It actually makes sense when you think about it

Dick Cheney wanted to fire Scooter Libby but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Therefore he ordered him to leak the name of a CIA agent which caused Fitzgerald to investigate it and prosecute Libby.

And by "think about it" I wasn't really defining "thinking" in the traditional sense.

[Arkana]

17. I also think Dick Cheney is hiding the Kennedy assassination in his pants

and that he lives at Area 51 with the other aliens from the planet Zarg.

Seriously, what are you ON?

[camera obscura]

19. Are you the kind of person who gets "messages" often?

You might want to see a licensed professional about that.

[Mz Pip]

20. I'm sure this would

make a interesting plot for a trash thriller novel, the kind I want to read on a long plane ride. Escapist fiction is entertaining in small doses.

[AllentownJake]

21. Nope Blago was just a crook (EOM)

[unpossibles]

22. I disagree, mainly because they had warrants and an ongoing investigation

they may have some people tapped - I don't doubt that necessarily - but I don't think this has anything to do with that.

[CK_John]

25. And the telecoms need immunity because... n/t

[unpossibles]

29. ?

My point is simply that getting warrants and doing things through the proper legal process is not Cheney's style.

[WeDidIt]

23. IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

[eleny]

28. I'm reading the book about Cheney, "Angler", and you aren't far off

If they swept our phone and email conversations all over the country, then you know they honed in on sitting government officials. You ought to read the first chapter of the book where the author details what Cheney did to all those who applied to be W's VP running mate in 2000. Cheney is evil.

[LanternWaste]

30. What are the precise and relevant elements of the story thus far...

What are the precise and relevant elements of the story thus far that lead you to that conclusion?

[rvablue]

32. So, if I get this right, any time heretofore that an arrogant, lawless, egomaniac

with a D behind their name gets indicted for trying to sell a Senate seat....it's all Cheney's fault.

You need to do some reading. This guy has been under investigation for three years and has a long laundry list of wrongdoing and corruption. What are we supposed to do? Ignore it because he is a Democrat.

Yeah, that would be really good and healthy for our country.
