Dick Cheney Doesn’t ‘Intend Any Disrespect’ By Suggesting Obama ‘Guilty Of Treason’

By David Edwards
Sunday, June 22, 2014 12:32 EDT

Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday insisted that he did not “intend any disrespect” when he suggested that President Barack Obama was guilty of treason by trying to undermine the United States before leaving office.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed last week, Cheney — and his daughter Liz — said that the president was “determined to leave office ensuring he has taken America down a notch.”

He went on to suggest that Obama was a “fool” if he intended to work with Iran to prevent violence in Iraq.

“In this op-ed, you suggest the president is a fool,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl pointed out during a Sunday interview with Cheney. “That is the word you used, ‘only a fool would take the approach he’s taking in Iraq right now.’”

“It almost seems like you’re accusing the president of treason, that he’s intentionally bringing America ‘down a notch,’” Karl noted.

Cheney did not deny that he had accused the commander-in-chief of the United States of treason, but he insisted that he had not just called Obama a “fool” over the violence in Iraq.

Sun Jun 22, 2014, 05:35 PM

Article II. The Constitution does not give Congress that power.

While Bushco were in office, Congress could have impeached Bush and Cheney, the penalty for a conviction in an impeachment being only removal from office, but it could not have prosecuted them. However, Pelosi took impeachment off the table very soon after she got the gavel.

After they were out of office, the Obama administration could have prosecuted, but, with respect to Bushco, Obama announced his administration was going to look forward, not back, also not very long after he took over. (Funnily enough, "Forward" was also his campaign slogan in 2012).

Holder even decided there was not enough basis to so much as write a letter to the bar associations of the lawyers involved. Clinton got impeached AND disbarred, but Holder could not find a basis to write a letter complaining. (BTW, no one needs a basis. People write bar associations negative things about lawyers all the time, even off the wall things.)

And, when a Spanish judge decided he was going to go after them on international law grounds, our government had a word with the Spanish government and the judge was not heard from again on that score.

Dick Cheney shouldn't be asked anything about anything. As one of the profiteering architects of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, he should be shunned as the parasite and psychopath he is. In an intelligent debate, he'd long since have been made a pariah.

Seriously, media. SERIOUSLY? At long last, have you NO morals, NO ability to foment meaningful debate and NO skill in reporting on important news of our day without fellating corporate dick? Considering who owns and controls you (corporations) - I guess not.

....1) He is NOT scum. Scum is far above his level of baseness, and 2) every time the media reports his arrogant rantings, it helps to remind us that it is not too late to demand that he and his other odious war profiteer pals be brought to justice. If they don't report this crap, all their crimes will be swept under the rug and forgotten forever. The media is helping to remind us how wrong it is that they are walking around, enjoying the riches they reaped from the millions who died and/or suffered from their lies. Have we had enough yet?

considering who owns the media, what would we expect? Time to do something about that as well. Turn off network news and never buy another Rupert Murdoch rag again, WSJ included. And don't forget to tell their advertisers why. If you don't feed the beast, they can't survive to rewrite anything. In the meantime, the blowback these cockroaches received especially this time around, gives me hope that no one (even the conservatives) is buying their story anymore and we are finally getting to the point of outrage when we do something about this. Let's hope that the history rewrite includes a new chapter that sees them finally brought to justice. Positive outcomes start with a positive direction.

don't even have a tv. DU and fb (media matters, bill moyers, others) is where i get my news and has been for years.
but recently i watched all the president's men with Robert Redford's commentary, and he had quite a bit to say about the degraded state of the press these days. back in the days of watergate you didn't just bop up in front of a camera and assert, "some people say..." and then just shoot a load of crap the way they do on fox. you had sources, you followed a story where it took you, not where some right wing power monger wanted you to go.
i don't know where the positive direction is going to come from as long as money is power and speech both. i think it's going to take a revolution, but there's a lot of needless suffering between now and then, which i do not expect necessarily to see happen in my lifetime (i'm 58).

fate. His record in history will read: Here lies a cowardly, vile, angry, greedy, ugly, spiritually void, loveless man whose lies and crimes rank him with the lowest villains of history.

Watch Rachel Maddow's report on Iraq: Why We Did It.

http://www.msnbc.com/maddow-why-we-did-it

Cheney was the mastermind behind the great crime that was the Iraq War. And it isn't over yet.

Instead of using solar and wind energy and moving forward into history, the Cheney/Bush bunch hijacked our democracy in order to fill their pockets with the bounty of stolen oil. They set history back by a generation. What hope can they offer? What solutions do they have to sell other than more war, dying children, devastated landscapes? Why are the warmongers on TV?

And McCain? Is he the face of beginning dementia? He should retire his deteriorating mind and malicious spirit to Arizona, sit in the sun and enjoy the confusion and mysterious decline of his dotage. What spite. What anger. What a bad loser.

McCain and Cheney: two lives without grace.

Republicans end their lives in bitterness. Nasty bunch. No compassion. In old age, they pay the price.

"The government of Iran is the world's leading exporter of terror," Cheney said less than a month after Bush's January 2002 "axis of evil" speech.

On the campaign trail, Cheney has often boasted of how the Bush administration helped shut down an underground network supplying nuclear technology to Iran, which he called one of "the world's most dangerous regimes" in an August campaign speech in Davenport, Iowa.

Halliburton, meanwhile, has defended the business deals with Iran that intensified under Cheney.
