Cheney linked to Stevens corruption trial.

Posted by: renko on August 23, 2008 at 10:28PM EST

Newsweek reports that in a conversation “secretly tape-recorded by the FBI on June 25, 2006,” Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) “discussed ways to get a pipeline bill through the Alaska Legislature with Bill Allen, an oil-services executive accused of providing the senator with about $250,000 in undisclosed financial benefits.” Stevens promised Allen, “I’m gonna try to see if I can get some bigwigs from back here and say, ‘Look … you gotta get this done’.” Two days later, Vice President Cheney undertook the unusual move of writing a letter to the Alaska Legislature urging members to “promptly enact” a bill to build the pipeline.

---Does anyone think this is just coincidence? Shades of Agnew, here.

I'd say this requires an independent prosecutor, if not an immediate congressional investigation.

Yes, we know they are all corrupt. It does not matter if they are wearing a Donkey skinned dress or an Elephant hide halter top.
You should focus on understanding how both capitalist parties work together to continue robbing and enslaving us and what we can do about it.
