Craig Crawford’s Trail Mix: The Cheney 'Impeachment' Trial

The perjury trial of Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, is surely a pitiful substitute for the legal fantasies of White House foes such as House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, the Michigan Democrat who ominously said at last week’s anti-war protest that Congress “can fire” the president.

But at a minimum, independent prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is doing what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid described this morning to radio host Don Imus as “putting the pieces together” to showcase “the tremendous power the vice president had” in outing a CIA agent.

Indeed, the Libby trial seems destined to serve as an unofficial impeachment of Cheney’s integrity. And count on Democrats like Reid and Conyers to keep a close watch on what the prosecutor proves.

After all, Democrats in the midterm election campaign promised not to impeach the president — but they did not close that door for the vice president.

It may take two or more reads - or some diagramming. Cheney isn't a simple guy and doesn't live a simple life.
