12:57PM Halliburton responds to Judicial Watch lawsuit (HAL) by Michael Baron Halliburton (HAL) is off 30 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $13.82, in midday action. The company is out with a press release responding to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group. The suit alleges fraudulent accounting practices at Halliburton took place during the period when current vice president Dick Cheney served as its chairman and CEO. Halliburton called the claims in the suit, "untrue, unsupported, and unfounded." The company continued: "We are working diligently with the SEC to resolve its questions regarding the company's accounting procedures. Halliburton has always followed and will continue to follow guidelines established by the SEC and GAAP, General Accepted Accounting Principles."
Actually, you did:
...but isn't it possible for a civil lawsuit to have criminal elements involved? I think so.
Well there you go trying to making sense again ...
Baaaaaad Amelia
Howlin,
I still do not understand what you are trying to correct me about. Let's go over the issue of Impeachment from a Constitutional perspective.
Article II, section 4, of the United States Constitution states: "The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors."
No where does it state that these crimes or misdemeanors have to occur when the public official in question was in their current office.
In fact, Ken Starr was also looking into Whitewater and Mena, for added evidence in his Impeachment case against Bill Clinton. Both Mena and Whitewater occured when Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas, and not the President.
Impeachment does not require a criminal offense and Bill Clinton committed impeachable crimes that encompassed both criminal and non-criminal offenses. These offenses mainly occured when he was the Governor or Arkansas and if Ken Starr had found enough evidence, Bill Clinton could have been impeached for them, even if these crimes and misdemeanors occured when he was the Governor of Arkansas and not the President of the United States.
You would not be smart enough to do that. Yes Halliburton stock is a very good stock to buy right now. And yes I own quite a bit.
LOL! I just voted and had to post about that, myself. What a bunch of morons.
Regardless of what you say, a public official can be impeached for past actions that occured before they were elected into their current public office or position.
Now why can't you tell me what the next major annoucement from your buds over at the watch is gonna be? Haven't they told you yet?
