Conyers Issues Subpoena to Addington

Mark your calendar: June 26th, Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff David Addington will testify to the House Judiciary Committee about the administration's interrogation policy. Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) made it official in a subpoena issued to Addington today. Addington has indicated that he will show up, but I'll believe it when I see him in the witness chair.

I find it hard to believe that Addington, Yoo, Ashcroft or Feith will ever stand before Congress to answer any questions. This is just another stalling technique. When their time to appear rolls around, they'll either have a back ache, need to wash their hair, be otherwise indisposed or the White House will claim executive privilege.

That way Addington et al can then claim they were willing to testify. Congress is stonewalled for another two months and these crooks get two months closer to their post-2008 election Bush pardons. The big question is whether or not the Bush Administration can stretch this process out that far.

The way this administration flaunts it disgust of Congress and the American people, I will not believe a thing until someone, anyone from this administration winds up in jail. That is the only thing that will make these criminals accountable. That is the only thing that is going to stop the complete takeover of this country by the neo-cons who want to control the world.

After Libby walked, it was free-for-all time. They all know that no one will be held accountable for any of their many crimes.

The Mouthpiece of Satan may deign to appear before the Congress, but do not expect him to say anything other than they should be thankful that his Master has allowed them to keep their jobs for so long.

All these fascists will stand before congress and all that will be heard is chorus or evasions, and statesecrets, and national security proclamations, and a relentless spew of some variation "I don't recall."

Democrats lack the courage to redress this monster, and after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, Addington, Yoo, Ashcroft, Feith and all the fascists will slither back to their covens and continue the unabated reengineering America into a totalitarian dicatorship ruled by the fascists in the Bush government reigning supremist and immune, and operating above, beyond, outside, and in total disdain of the rule of law, and the Constitution.

Until the American people and the democratic party musters the courage to demand accountability, and redress from the fascists in the Bush government - all this babel is nothing more than "...a tale told by an idiot, full of sound a fury, signifying nothing."

“Lost” emails. Executive privilege. Can’t remember. Don’t know. Lies, lies, and more lies.

Imagine if George W. Bush and Dick Cheney had a say in our government until the days they die. Well they do. One of Bush's famous executive orders has given them the right to control what we know about this administration not just until they die but FOREVER!

Read Orders and Acts and Lies. Oh my!

When are these cowards who are supposed to represent us, you know, We The People going to do something for this country?

THIS IS ALL.....VERY SIMILAR TO WATERGATE EXCEPT THAT:


--in Watergate, JOHN DEAN as WH legal counsel rolled over and negotiated a plea deal with Fed prosecutors.

--in Watergate, Executive Priviledge was used in a failed attempt by NIXON to OBSTRUCT CONGRESS WHO WANTED HIS TAPES. In this case, CHENEY ALREADY HAD A SECURE SHREDDING SERVICE PULL UP TO HIS NAVAL OBSERVATORY VICE PRESIDENTIAL HOME TO SHRED ALL DOCUMENTS FROM HIS SECRET OFFICE OF PLANS AND ENERGY TASK FORCE.

NOW...CHENEY HAS "hidden the emails" as we all know, and....TWO MYSTERIOUS ARSON FIRES OCCURRED AT NSA 902ND COUNTERINTEL GROUPS BUILDING, AND AT CHENEY'S EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING SUITE.

Cheney's excuses in the future are....ARSON FIRE DESTROYED EVERYTHING....SORRY GUYS.
