VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY SUED PERSONALLY FOR ALLEGED STOCK FRAUD

Alleged Fraudulent Accounting Practices Occurred At Halliburton

PRESS CONFERENCE
Date: July 10, 2002
Time: 9:00 A.M.
Location: Sheraton Hotel Parlor 1, 495 Brickell Ave Miami, FL

(Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the group that investigates and prosecutes corruption by government officials, announced today that it is filing a shareholders suit in Dallas, Texas, against Vice President Dick Cheney and the other involved directors of Halliburton, as well as Halliburton itself, for alleged fraudulent accounting practices which resulted in the overvaluation of the company’s shares, thereby deceiving investors and others.

The suit comes one day after President George W. Bush, who himself is enmeshed in allegations of insider trading when he was an executive, who sat on the audit committee of Harken Energy Company, announced a “plan” to crack down on corporate fraud. Ironically, it would appear that the President’s rush to propose more regulation of private industry is intended to deflect attention away from his and his Vice President’s own alleged improper business practices. President Bush has maintained that he was cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Others have countered that the head of the agency was then an appointee of his father, President George H.W.Bush.

President Clinton and the Democratic Party used a similar gambit when they were caught taking money illegally from foreign donors, including the Communist Chinese. Instead of prosecuting vigorously the Clintons and other guilty politicians, new campaign finance laws were proposed to deflect attention away from alleged crimes.

“Whether it is the Enron, Arthur Andersen, Global Crossing, or now the Halliburton and Harken scandals, there is a dangerous intersection between politicians of all stripes, Democrat and Republican, attempting to feed at the trough of business greed. As is true of the Clinton scandals, the American people cannot look the other way just because the President and Vice President are allegedly involved. Indeed, Judicial Watch has already sued Democrat and Republican officials in the Enron and Global Crossing scandals. To look the other way for the Vice President would be to set a precedent that the Washington elite are above the law. This cannot be permitted if our democracy is to survive,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

In 1995 Halliburton was prosecuted and forced to plead guilty to trading with Libya, a terrorist state on the U.S. watch list.

A press conference will be held in Miami at 9:00 A.M. at the Sheraton Hotel at 495 Brickell Avenue to announce and detail this suit.

That's because there is nothing, and they know it.

They just spin and spin and spin...

[Howlin]

He won't release his donor list, but if I'm not mistaken he will SELL them; wasn't one of his lawsuits involved with suing a firm that said he "owed" some names?

[terilyn]

Looks like a good start for the new political party.

"What happen to Larry? "

After much sad reflection I must reluctantly say- nothing.
He came to the March for Justice for donations.
He'll still go anywhere for a donation.

[looney tune]

ROFL!

[Howlin]

Fair and balanced, eh? Kindly post right here on this thead any and all "lawsuits" and/or "press releases" concerning ANYTHING the Democrats might have done wrong since George W. Bush took office.

Are you joining Klayman in contending that the Democrats are all above board now?

[PhiKapMom]

That's right -- the firm that does the list for RNC I believe and then he sued RNC if I remember right!

[Howlin]

And Larry Klayman is corrupt, too.

[Miss Marple]

That list wouldn't have the really important names on it. Just the small-time sucker donors.

[deport]

I'd be surprised if any of the usual suspects among the plaintiffs' bar would want to affiliate themselves in any way with Larry and Judicial Watch.

Agreed it's sorta like the 40 thieves at the courthouse during bankruptcy sales.. But, the court can lump these various suits together and have in some cases haven't they?..... asbestoesis, etc.

[Ben Ficklin]

I wouldn't be able to disagree with your point.

There is definately more going on than meets the eye.

[Badray]

"Has Judicial Watch ever actually WON a case?"

To be fair, if I remember correctly, didn't he uncover evidence in his deposition of John Huang (or one of those guys) that led to some of the charges in the clinton impeachment show trial?

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!!!!!!!!! That's okay! Probably fits after he was here in OK during the primary -- just ask Ole Okie -- he and I both went ballistic!

You are too funny!

[diamond6]

LOL

Big Buzz
Just days after announcing his resignation as Ross Perot's political advisor, Russ Verney has landed a new job -- at Judicial Watch. Verney's announcement signals the official end of Ross Perot's political career, and yet another ripple from the wave caused by the Reform Party, which Verney helped found with Perot in the mid-1990s.

"Russ Verney's expertise in grassroots organizing, campaign finance, and in the too often corrupt federal elections process will make him an invaluable asset to Judicial Watch," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman in a press release Thursday. "Judicial Watch believes in reforming the system by holding corrupt politicians, lawyers, and judges accountable. Russ Verney is obviously an expert in reform and he will be a key partner in our legal and other battles."

The folks at the Free Republic seemed unmoved by the pronounced death of the Reform Party. "Buh Bye," writes one poster. "It was a party of kooks anyway."

You are so right. Alan Keyes wanted to appoint him as Attorney General if he was elected President.

You know, I've heard this before - it's really true? Now that would be some kind of administration. Buffoon City.
