Bush KNEW! Bush Sold! Bush is A Crook and his own words now say he should go to jail.. "A confidential Harken chronology, obtained by the nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity, said that 16 days before he sold the stock, Bush was sent the company's "weekly flash report," giving "information provided by subsidiaries regarding estimated historical and projected earnings." Asked about the document, a White House official said Bush thought the company was going to lose about $9 million in the quarter. That would have been four times as much as the company lost in the previous quarter but not nearly as much as it did lose. As it turned out, the company lost $23 million for the period, according to an earnings report made public two months after Bush sold. SEC investigators knew Bush had seen the flash report but still dropped the case. Bush agreed to be interviewed by the SEC, but the investigators did not take him up on it, provoking skepticism from some government officials about their thoroughness.

Cheney won't discuss Halliburton because he doesn't want to be distracted from his current job. (Has anyone checked to see if he's robbing Ft. Knox) Thanks to Judicial Watch (They went after Clinton, too) Cheney will have to answer for his numerous improprieties. "The Paula Jones precedent—you remember, the Supreme Court ruling that a president has no immunity from civil litigation—may break Cheney’s silence, too. He’s a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, which alleges that investors were defrauded by Halliburton’s accounting. Judicial Watch plagued the Clinton administration with more than 100 suits. But now it’s after the Bush crowd. Larry Klayman, the group’s president, says he wants to question Cheney under oath. “We’ll want to talk to him first, he’s the CEO,” Klayman says. Cheney may also have to testify in suits over Halliburton’s asbestos problems."
