Reply #21: If Cheney's indicted, he would have to resign

[Qutzupalotl]

like Scooter. If he doesn't, Bush would be under enormous pressure to fire him. His promise of firing anyone "involved" morphed into anyone indicted (I forget the actual words he used). There's not a lot of wiggle room left. No way to spin it.

The bigger question is whether Bush made false statements to investigators. He is bound to have known, IMO.

You are correct that impeachment is remote with a Republican-controlled congress. But that becomes a campaign issue ("The Republicans think lying and treason are just fine!").

If Democrats win back the House, which is looking more and more likely, it's game over for Bush.

So everybody: monitor your elections. They are cornered and desperate, and therefore at their most dangerous.
