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.

ROTLMAO!!!

Maybe I will, and maybe I won't. I have said many a time now that I don't know whether time will permit. But you seem to be fixated on this, so I'll let you wonder all night.

FYI, some of us actually work for a living, doing something other than swindling suckers out of their money in the name of "justice".

I guess you'll just have to settle your sycophant little mind down for the night, and see what I do in the morning.

[Howlin]

If this suit is not outright dismissed by the presiding judge, Klayman may really be onto something here.

WHY WOULD A SUIT BE DISMISSED IF KLAYMAN HAS THE PROOF HE NEEDS????????

[agrandis]

All the snarling and biting on this forum can be truly hilarious, but that graphic South has on her homepage is lame. Y'all can do better than that!

[Luis Gonzalez]

You know, even back when you were on TV, it was as a second banana to a Cuban...things ain't changed much since then, have they Fred?

I know, you just want to goad me into going so that SOMEONE will be there to hear Larry.

[Howlin]

Have you EVER seen such a statement as this:

If this suit is not outright dismissed by the presiding judge, Klayman may really be onto something here.

[Fred Mertz]

Your lazy butt will sleep in until at least 9 am.

I'm a seer. I know.

I will be in the office by 8.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Did you bother to read why it is there? Do you care about the truth?

Never mind. I already know that answer.

[stryker]

That may well be. I have no idea who he is. Do you have any evidence he is tied in with the Clintons?

[Registered]

Make sure you record the exchange for us all to hear on your next FR broadcast. I'm looking forward to listening to you take on Larry! Go Luis GO!

[Texasforever]

If this suit is not outright dismissed by the presiding judge, Klayman may really be onto something here.

Sounds like,"there is no proof of wrongdoing and that makes an investigation more important". Larry needs adult supervision.

Dear Reggie,

During a debate a few nights ago, you chose not to respond to my questions, instead you mini-opused to me, and asked me not ever to respond to you again. I have honored your request. I would now like to request that you not refer to me in your posts, if you expect me not to respond. Thank you very kindly.

[agrandis]

Okay - that online store worries me! I'm starting to feel a headind in my opinion of JW.

[Registered]

He's claiming he has to work now, maybe we should start a fundraiser for that too. We've already got his hotel covered.

[Howlin]

Doncha like the badge? LOL.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

All the snarling and biting on this forum can be truly hilarious, but that graphic South has on her homepage is lame. Y'all can do better than that!

That was originally Registered's graphic. Next time you bump into him, you can tell him you think it was lame.

[Howlin]

It sounds to me like the groundwork for saying "That judge wouldn't let me try my case."

[Howlin]

I just like the badge. I can just see Larry flipping it out right now!

[Fred Mertz]

Don't let your head get so fat. Do you actually think people read your comments?

In other words, I don't know what you're talking about nor do I care to.

[Texasforever]

"That judge wouldn't let me try my case."

That is the last line of every suit he files.
