Texas DA Reveals Evidence That Led to Dick Cheney Indictment
By Heather Sunday Nov 30, 2008 11:00amFrom MichaelMoore.com:
Guerra unveils why his investigation led him to the Vice President.
WILLACY COUNTY - District Attorney Juan Guerra says his investigation took him all the way to the top, to the Vice President of the United States. He showed NEWSCHANNEL 5 records that he says could be used to prove Dick Cheney is guilty of criminal activity.
The charges against the Vice President stem from the Willacy State Jail in Raymondville and from the inmate, Gregorio De La Rosa, Jr., who was killed there by a fellow inmate in 2001. Guerra says that the elected officials let the jail get away with murder so that they can keep making money.
"Greed will get you discovered and arrested every time, and that's what happened to Cheney," Guerra said.
Guerra says he went through Cheney's financial records and the prison companies' financial records and found the connection. The three top prison companies Guerra researched were Corrections Corporation of America, GEO Group and Cornell. Those three have the Vanguard Group in common, which is an investment company that puts money into all three prison companies.
"We knew Vanguard was the key," said Guerra.

I find that it is no surprize to me.
Anyone in the current republican cabal would not bat an eye at someone else dying if they could make a few bucks off the death.
Hell Darth Chenny would shoot them in the face for the fun of it!
I am not sure if everyone understands just what purely evil people have been in charge of our government for the past eight years.
These guy's are the worst in the last 100 years.
You should be ashamed if you voted for these sorry fucks.
Because that makes you as bad as them!
Cheney even looks like a criminal.
That's what he said about the prisoners when they were loading up Guantanomo Bay
Interesting you should say that when your own sobriquet is based on one of the worst mass murderers in London history.
I still wonder if Jack the Ripper's not being caugh and allowed to slip into legend might have proved a motivation for everyone from George John Haigh, Fritz Haarman, Ed Gein, The Boston Strangler, Ted Bundy, the Atlanta Child Killer to Jeffrey Dahmer
i prefer Nathan's Famous.
I always want to say Al Bundy.
And I meant to say I still wonder if Jack the Ripper's not being caught...
Hanged by his own chromosome strands?
They got OJ, didn’t they?
It's not just for breakfast anymore.
i have to believe most people posting here are invested in the vanguard group...i'm no cheney fan but I think this is a little tenuous unless they have something else on him...
I have two Vanguard retirement accounts.
I also bank with Chase, which I understand is either affiliated with the Carlisle groups, Saudi Arabia or both.
Of course I didn't find out until after the fact.
But at least I wont have to dine on Alpo in my dotage.
We have 3 Vanguard accounts I was wondering if we would be indicted too. I fear this DA is grasping at straws - sure would like to see ol' Dick get what he deserves.
Nothin against ya'll personally but I hope one fine day America frees a couple hundred thousand of the marijuana drug user offenders that are now incarcerated in our prison system,(replace with Shrub Haulson Burnbanke ect...) and the value of your stock goes down!
...actually I hope you two re-invest your money elsewhere.
although I gotta admit it's probly a good investment...The economic stimulus plan will most likely have a good chunk of it
earmarked for "upgrading the prison system" to handle the "increase in the crime rate" that will come with the economic depression/monetary inflation that we will be facing soon.
The allegation is that in 2006 Cheney blocked the investigation into the 2001 murder of this inmate AND that Cheney stood to profit from having done so.
.. not just that he was invested in Vanguard.
Exactly. Together it creates a picture of obstruction of justice.
There's a legal concept known as the mosaic doctrine that's been successful in court: it suggests that even if every individual activity is strictly legal by the letter of the law, if together all the actions create a picture of illegal intent, charges can be brought and successfully prosecuted.
I'm surprised this hasn't been used in more cases, particularly considering how weaselly Bushco has been with their crimes.
Where is everybody today, church?
Oh right...shopping mauls.
and his prison connections recently in one of his 'You Don't Know Dick' segments. Funny stuff.
for you and me to live in!

Thrash metal...funny (not so) lyrics!
Dick Chainey's greasy ass will enable him to slide right on by these accusations just like he did w/ the Halliburton connection.
...or he will get an unusually prompt court hearing, be convicted, then Pardoned on Chimpy's last day in office.
...or delay the trial, for as long as it takes, (for him) to die of a heart attack!
guantanamo is not enough, he has some prisons on the side to play with.
As much as I love Moore. I have to admit that seeing that this link went to his website was kind of a buzz kill. The media are already trying to paint Guerra as a kook and to have this story on Moore's site only puts it further in the "ignored by regular people" column. Sad, but true.
indictments of Erik Prince? Or is he off the hook because Blackwater's crimes occurred outside of US jurisdiction? (as deliberately arranged by J. Paul Bremer)
VIDEO: Bush promised to look into this 'zone of lawlessness.'
Couldn't they wait to reveal this BS until after Bush is out of office? Bush is only going to pardon Darth Cheney now that this has happened... I'd like to see at least one of these profiteering miserable assholes held accountable for something.
This reminds me of when Jim Garrison said he had solved JFK's assassination. If this is what the indictments are based on, the guy shouldn't be DA--he's incompetent. As many posters have pointed out, most of us have accounts with the Vanguard Group along with millions of other Americans. I doubt if Cheney knows what investments the mutual funds have in these companies--I could not tell anyone how much of my fund is invested in what without some research.
The alligation is that Cheney blocked an investigation and stood to profit on it, not solely about his owning stock in the company that ran the prisons. That is, obstruction of justice. That's something solid to build a case on.

I goofed up.
