If You Were Calling Witnesses For The Impeachment, Who Would It Be?
Edited on Thu Sep-29-05 08:24 PM by DistressedAmerican
Hypothetical time:

Suppose you had the option, as Senate Prosecutor for the impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney, to question a few folks in the well of the Senate, under oath and on every TV in America.

Give me a short list of who you'd want to question under oath and a couple questions you'd like to see answered.

You are assumed to have both the Chimp and his Puppet Master at your disposal. Question away.

Any underlings you want to hear from?

1. The entire White House staff, the cabinet members, the vice president
...and George W Bush himself.

14. Not really what I was thinking of. More like man servants. Chimp needs
help with the pants and those cool bow thingies on his shoes!

I do not know they have valet parking at the place. Of course, it does seem silly for all of those important people to park themselves. I guess that would be a driver/chaufuer thing. I think when you are in like that you get dropped off and they hang out talking to the other drivers until the event is over.

3. The President, Vice President, and all cabinet members obviously.
I can't think of anyone else at the moment.

4. Depends on what the charges for impeachment are. Being a
sick fuck probably isn't grounds.

I would assume lying to congress about the yellow cake in the state of the Union Address.

And I would already have done a complete and thourough investigation so that I would already know the answers to be given to my questions.

Doesn't make sense to investigate or find out new evidence in the well of the Senate.

Although I like that other thing too.:evilgrin:

9. the lies they told to the congress, the un and in the state of the union
speak for themselves. the entire country was witness.

they lied their way into the war they wanted, they torture they wanted and the profittering they wanted.

the entire government is a criminal enterprise.

10. Andrew Card
What is your role in this administration? Rarely discussed or Questioned. Must be loyal, but why?

13. I'd go back to all who were fired from his admin.
I want Paul O'neal, Colin Powell, the CIA Dir., and Ari Fleicher. Then I would call Sibel Edmonds and give her complete freedom to speak, thus over riding the FBI/DOJ GAG order.

15. That is some nice outside the box thinking! I'm definitely with you on
that angle. Richard Clarke perhaps?

17. The only reason I didn't include Clarke is because he's been
trying to tell the truth forseveral years now, and might be seen as biased before the fact. I want the AH's that have been hurt by Shrub and are silently holding a grudge. Give them a chance to spill their guts!

18. Powell I'd Say Is A Must! Hard To Say What He'd Say.
And unlike the Paul Oneil's of the world, he was right in the middle of the Iraq propoganda catapulting.

23. Yep, and Powell is feeling personally harmed. He said so.
I'm not sure what he's doing now, but it's bothering him that he was used and he said "it's a permanent smudge on his record". He's an unhappy guy right now.

I'm sure there are lots of WH staffers who aren't happy campers now too. I'm talking about the maids, cooks, pages, just the everyday folks who see and hear a lot but stay quiet, and have no real allegiance to Shrub...only to their paycheck.

natural justice.

20. all of the above, stripped naked,
hooked to a polygraph, with a special electrical attachment to their gonads that buzzed on whenever they lied. I would watch tv again to see this trial.

22. Governor Taft, Kenneth Blackwell, Tom Noe
I have been wondering all along how much of that money that went
missing in Ohio from the Bureau of Workmen's Compensation Fund was
funneled into the 2004 Bush campaign in Ohio.
