All oppositional powers engage in this kind of stuff. They do, we do and it has nothing to do with the real outcome.
Never forget, Chaney is a Bushbot.
It’s really no surprise to see a Bush flunky repeating Hillary Clinton’s propaganda line on this issue. Cheney was too smart to admit it openly (unlike George HW Bush, who voted for Hillary, and George W., who voted for some candidate other than Trump by his own admission), but he and other neoconservatives wanted Hillary to win the election. It’s partly because they still can’t get past their sour grapes over Jeb not getting his turn at the throne, and partly because Hillary is much more in line with the neocon’s foreign policy agenda than Trump is.
