Source: George Tenet's Book Will Lead to Cheney's Impeachment

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

SO, keep this on the download (heh heh heh). But I have a friend in the "publishing industry" who has read Tenet's book, which is to be released next week. He tells me, anonymously of course, that the book absolutely rips Cheney to shreds. In fact, it pretty much accuses Cheney of the worst things imaginable. His take is that it will lead immediately to Congressional hearings, and then to impeachment hearings (of Cheney, not Bush).

This is going to be HUGE.

I'd like to share more, but can't.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnyway

The book comes out next week. My friend might just be being a little bit too excitable, or maybe, just maybe, this will take the Cheneey misadministration down. . . . with a frikken wrecking ball.

1. Be preferable if it's the later

Although knocking Cheney out would have a couple of interesting effects. It would immediately raise the stature of Kucinich (assuming he's sharp enough to capitalize on it), and it would give them the opportunity to name a heir apparent (although presumably for 2012 rather than 2008.

5. Cheney would pull a Nixon

and leave office under some auspices of "health concerns" or somesuch before he would allow himself to be impeached. Bush at that point is not required to appoint a new VP, because there are less than 2 yrs before his exit (thank god). (If I'm wrong about that, I'm sure someone will let me know.) That leaves a simple Bush impeachment and removal from office as the only thing standing between us and a Democratic executive branch.

19. Twenty-fifth Amendment

Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

[Greeby]

25. It's always touch and go as to whether Shrub will obey

the commands of "that goddamn piece of paper." :eyes:

[frogcycle]

35. but what happens if they refuse to confirm and simultaneously impeach?

of course the RW would go batshit, but wouldn't it be fun?

[kitty1]

56. I'm surprised the Gop Hires didn't pay Tenet an evening visit....

for a long chat on his pending book. You would think that bribes or threats would have gone a long way in shutting him up.
I hope he's found a nice secluded place to live far away from Washington and the backlash.
Maybe the CIA honchos are watching his back. They all dispise Cheney I'm sure.

[tomp]

63. that would be brilliant...

...but it ain't gonna happen. the public pressure to replace the vp would be too great. and, in case you haven't noticed, the dems simply aren't that radical.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

2. Book will be featured

on 60 minutes this Sunday. I'm setting my DVR.

[tmlanders]

We can only hope!

[calimary]

44. Welcome to DU!

Glad you're here, and I agree with you completely - and then some. Too bad it's not articles of IMPEACHMENT against bush, too. They BOTH deserve it.

Don't forget, tomorrow morning if you can, to CALL YOUR REPS and URGE THEM TO SUPPORT THIS!!! Please note the TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers conveniently located in my sig line below.

[SoCalDem]

3. If true, Tenet needs to be indicted .

I am sick to death of people "holding onto" their information so they can write a book and SELL us the information/

tenet was a PUBLIC SERVANT..ON THE PAYROLL.. he had a DUTY to disclose/follow up on/investigate whatever wrongdoing he found out about.

It was not his "privilege" to claim it as his own,save it and then sell it in book form AFTER THOUSANDS of people have been killed, due to his negligence/complicity.

[oldtime dfl_er]

6. You are so right

You are so completely correct!!!!

[Canuckistanian]

11. I never understood

Why he was absent from the Plame hearings. It was HIS CIA that brought the complaint forward in the first place.

[H2O Man]

15. For what purpose? n/t

[Canuckistanian]

54. To at least confirm Plame's status

And to detail why this was such a crime in the first place.

He WAS basically the complainant that led to this investigation.

Why was it left to Hayden alone to make the CIA's case?

[AndyA]

14. Good point.

Criminals. All of them. And who says crime doesn't pay?

I do hope his book takes Cheney down, and then I hope someone in the legal end of things asks Tenet why he kept these crimes a secret.

[AndyTiedye]

16. He Tried, But He Kept Feeling All Choked Up and Having Trouble Breathing

"I find your lack of faith disturbing"

[CrispyQ]

17. Best post of the day!!!

A most excellent point!

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

53. Thanks!

:-)

[SlowDownFast]

18. Absolutely.

My first thought on this, also.

[JNelson6563]

21. Too late for that, he'll likely be Wellstoned

Buh-bye George. :hi:

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

37. It's not just greed - it's survival

BushCo is going to come for Tenet with everything they have.

His claims regarding Cheney have to be public, loud, well documented and he has to become a public person again, for the sake of his personal safety.

Otherwise, he'd have some mysterious accident or something.

[LSK]

42. with this Justice Department????????

:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

43. Perhaps the next one

:)

[Supersedeas]

46. it won't be pretty

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

49. Ugly

Really ugly. A circular firing squad. Serious fragging. Get ready with some:



:popcorn:

[tomp]

64. absolutely! nt

[iconoclastic cat]

4. You mean "down-low," not "download."

It would be nice if this rumor became reality.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

13. It's a pun

Since we're on the internets.

[iconoclastic cat]

30. Ah, I see. nt

[Book Lover]

7. Only political will will bring articles of impeachment to the floor of Congress

and that is a rare commodity in DC these days...

[mmonk]

12. Yep, I have plenty of impeachment books already.

[City Lights]

8. Here's hoping...

...:toast:

[EFerrari]

9. So, Tenet hasn't stopped playing. Whatever.

He's a felon, too. But if he takes down dead-eye Dick, good.

[PearliePoo2]

10. I wonder

if Rep. Kucinich is privy to any of Tenet's accusations and these will be offered in his call for TriggerBoy's impeachment?

[Virginia Dare]

20. You say you can't share more, but can you say whether..

it mentions anything about Cheney with regards to 9/11?

I'm not buying that fuckwad's book btw. This pisses me off so much that he would withhold impeachable offenses back for the sake of making himself a fortune.

[H2O Man]

23. The book will

not have anything new about 9/11. What is going to hurt the OVP, and Cheney in particular, is information about some of the things that took place between September '02 and February '03, having to do with the build up to the war in Iraq.

[Blackhatjack]

26. Are you referring to Cheney trips to CIA and forcing rewrites of raw intel ??

If that is the case, it would strike right at the heart of the Neocons agenda and 'shadow government.'

If that takes place, Bush is in for total humiliation --Cheney was calling all the shots, and he was a bystander.

[H2O Man]

28. That's a big part

of it. Another part is going to be evidence that the VP went a step beyond ignoring evidence that didn't fit the picture he was painting.

[Blackhatjack]

34. H2O Man, do you think part of it will refer to the fake niger docs?

[H2O Man]

40. Good question.

I think that was an OSP cell's operation. I think it will be interesting to see how the neocon/AIPAC espionage case unfolds. It's related: some of the dark forces that were involved in that were also involved in the forgeries, I dare say. These crimes all fall into the Cheney-Rumsfeld form of shadow government.

[Raksha]

59. I think I understand what you're saying, H2O Man.

Re >>evidence that the VP went a step beyond ignoring evidence that didn't fit the picture he was painting.<<

I bet Judith Miller could tell us a thing or two about that, if she were so inclined.

[The Count]

32. My thoughts exactly. Still - on 9.11 - it will confirm Clarke's statements

about the "hair on fire" and being ignored by the WH...Clarke's book should have been enough for impeachment. or the Plame affair. Or the Energy commission. or the Halliburton impropriety...or the Enron connections...or the illegal business with Iraq while at halliburton...etc, etc....

[H2O Man]

41. Valid points,

all.

[Blackhatjack]

22. Ok Tenet got his medal, is out of office, and has the entire CIA behind him.....

My guess is that Cheney and Tenet butted heads continuously and that Cheney pushed Tenet 'into a corner' and forced him to confirm 'finding wmds would be a slam-dunk.'

Tenet is no choir boy, but I would doubt that he would bring the wrath of Cheney down on him while Cheney is still in office if there was not some incredibly damning evidence to back up his allegations.

"Mr. Sunshine" may be in for some 'rough weather' in the offing.

IMHO Tenet can keep his medal, his book sales royalties, and escape prosecution, if he exposes the criminality of Cheney and this Administration.

[populistdriven]

24. I'm guessing this is just a whispering / mkting campaign - Rummy's book could lead to impeachment

[underpants]

27. Right after they gave him the medal they dumped everything on him

and he stuck with them out of loyalty since they didn't completely all at once blame 9/11 on the CIA.

[The Count]

50. They tried dumping before as well - he refused to take the blame for "16 words"

And that's why, in the feeding chain, he's above Powell in my book.

[mikelgb]

29. Breaking: Kucinich introducing articles today!

hopefully the book will help...


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2821110

[cascadiance]

33. I wonder if he got an early copy of the book...

... and that's why he's moving on filing impeachment papers now!

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

38. Well. . .

If he includes matters revealed in the book, then maybe.

[The Count]

31. Me thinks DK is aware of its contents - many of us are as well

Only news to those asleep.

[TahitiNut]

36. I'm thinking that not even a leader dog will 'lead' to Cheney's impeachment.

It seems blind partisanship can't be overcome by leader dogs or even white canes ... no matter how much money is spent.

[Disturbed]

39. Remember when Tenet "Resigned"?

He did so at a strange hour for a resignation. It is my theory that he was fired and offered a deal. The deal was that he would not be prosecuted for his Perjury to Congress in exchange for his silence and also that he would receive The Medal of Freedom. Tenet went along with the lies of the Busholini Regime and Powell's disgraceful testimony at the UN to keep his job. At the same time he was investigation Ahmed Chalabi and revealing that man's duplicity with Iran. The Busholini Regime was determined to shut that investigation down and they succeeded in doing so by firing Tenet. Now Tenet wants to regain his integrity. I doubt that he will succeed in doing so. I also doubt that the House will move forward to Impeach Cheney because the Senate will not vote him guilty of whatever charges are brought forth.

[Old and In the Way]

47. I think there was a MAB scenario between Tenet and this administration.

"Mutually Assured Blackmail". Each has the goods on the other. I could never understand why Tenet, a Clinton appointee, wasn't made the fall guy for this administration after 9/11. Then Tenet takes the heat on bad intel for the Iraq War....and leaves with a Medal of Freedom. It don't add up. Both parties have to have damaging information on the other. I'm waiting to see the leaks that attack Tenet's credibility...they ought to be appearing any time now.

[Matariki]

45. "it pretty much accuses Cheney of the worst things imaginable"

oh, do tell! just a hint? is your name a hint?

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

48. hahahahhaha

Sorry, no deer murders, so far as I know. Seriously, though, I'm sworn to total secrecy, and shouldn;t even have posted this. It will be released next Monday, though, and we can all read it then.

[hwmnbn]

51. I'd like to say hooray.......

But if Tenet didn't tell the truth when it mattered, why do it now?

He's a repug and he helped the chimp start this war. The book will have to name names about Plame and tell us something we don't already know.

I'm rooting for it, but not holding my breath.

[ThoughtCriminal]

52. "worst things imaginable"

Try me. I can imagine things that are seldom even whispered outside boards like this.

[Frank Cannon]

57. Particularly when it comes to Dick Cheney

I can't believe these "worst things imaginable" even begin to reach the levels of evil and debauchery that we all know he's capable of.

[Canuckistanian]

55. To the RW press: You've got no excuse now

Tenet was wined and dined by the Shrub administration.

You can't slander him now. You've had all this time to dig up dirt on him, but nothing has surfaced.

Hell, he even got a frikken' Medal of Presidential Freedom out of the deal.

Now, when the book comes out, any criticism of Tenet will look like pure, unadulterated SOUR GRAPES.

[frogcycle]

58. and yet it will come

they'll probably accuse him of having sex with donkeys

[Canuckistanian]

60. Yes, it will come

But I'm saying that any excuse they put up AFTER the Tenet revelations will be hollow, baseless and reactionary.

We've had a rare glimpse into the future.

And it doesn't look good for them.

[frogcycle]

61. yeah, but I am restraining my glee

after all, I am a Cubs fan

[BlooInBloo]

62. Aaaah.... unsourced reporting - THAT'S what makes America great. NOT.

[CoffeeCat]

65. This is why Cheney has a blood clot...

These public pronouncements of Cheney's bad health are all about
creating a legitimate reason for Cheney to step down.

If the heat gets too high--as the administration knows that it well--
Cheney will hearken back to his recent trips to the hospital, his blood
clots, his heart problems and his allergic reaction to his annual rabies
shot.

He'll be able to walk out the back door, and investigations on him will
seem moot. Stories about Cheney's evil will be overshadowed by the new
vice president--most likely McCain or Guiliani.

[progressoid]

66. How about this headline..."Cheney to Resign - Cites Bad Heart"
