Adding 2 + 2: Harman Wiretapping/Blackmailing + Cheney "Stay Behinds" = ?
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 09:54 AM by WeDidIt
All I'm saying is, if they were wiretapping and blackmailing before, what's to say the "Stay Behinds" in U.S. intelligence aren't still wiretapping and feeding Cheney et. al. classified information to allow further blackmailing.

4. Time to ferret out the "stay behinds" operating illegally.
Feed them some juicy tidbits that Cheney can't help but get all critical about, and identify exactly which "stay behinds" are operating illegally.

3. It would explain the "exit" office he set up when power transferred.
Nobody could figure out why a V.P. would need an exit office.

8. No, but I specifically remember asking why he needed an exit office.
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 10:02 AM by Kansas Wyatt
There was an article on it somewhere, even showing a pic of the office that he would be moving to. Nobody thought it was a big deal, but I said then that he was up to no good if he needs an exit office.

On edit: I think it was going to be in Virgina.

11. Gonzales stopped prosecution
so that she could help their illegal wiretapping efforts.

The wiretapping that lead to the Harman information was a FISA court wiretap. Gonzales stepped in when the DOJ was going to prosecute and stopped it. She later supported their illegal wiretapping efforts in Congress.

Quid Pro Quo.

12. Maybe, but it doesn't make it blackmail
She's always seemed a more than willing accomplice to me. We'll see, though, as more information comes out.

14. The joke is on Harman because the information released about
her dealings was gleaned from a NSA wiretap.

13. I recall just before Obama took office...?
a story about Bush putting a lot of people into civil service jobs within the government. We should know where their loyalties lie, right?

15. Our Congress is buyable and able to be blackmailed
and they are still in office.

This was not a one time thing. This is a clue into exactly how Bushco got away with everything and why they defend him to this day.
