This statement is either true or it is not:

[Stinky The Clown]

Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats, were set up as cover by the Cheney cabal.

The setup was put in place way back when these 'briefings' took place. the presentations and the circumstances surrounding them were carefully crafted to confuse, to prove nothing, and to allow for enough doubt that even the truth would be unrecognizable.

And in so doing, the criminals get all the cover they need to get away with it.

To think that even internal CIA records were corrupted to show what the cabal wants them to show is hardly a stretch to one's sense of credulity.

1. Why would they notify Congress at all...

They believed in the supremacy of the unitary executive, I thought??

5. Federal Law n/t

8. they had to do the briefings

sadly the completeness and integrity of the briefings are not assured since it would be difficult to codify that.

2. I wonder if they recorded the briefings? nt

[Stinky The Clown]

3. No recordings and no transcripts ...... so reports both sides.

The truth?

Who knows? :shrug:

[snappyturtle]

4. ....or did anyone take notes? Probably not. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Supposedly, a Pelosi aid took notes in a briefing she did not attend personally

[snappyturtle]

10. Wow, really? Of course, I suppose they won't be considered official. nt

6. Yep--as long as the criminals could later point and say, "We TOLD them about it"

they were forever off the hook legally. Regardless of what info was actually given. All they have to say is, there were briefings. Therefore, everybody knew.

9. When everyone writes themselves a "get out of jail free" card

Nobody goes to jail.

11. Depends on how you define "the truth".

:shrug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

12. I think the Cheney cabal

is capable of any and all kinds of deception

[bridgit]

13. My understanding of it is that it is true...

The only reason they were briefed is because the Constitution provides the executive branch does so. Having to do so; Cheney/bush et al simply used that passage not as a way to inform; they had no intention of either informing or for that matter changing their agenda of no-bid crony war profiteering death & chaos if when in the event someone became inadvertently informed - that they would simply deny
