Operation Moonbat Sets Its Targets on Cheney With Grand Jury Indictments

Now that the savior of the left has been elected to the nation’s highest office it is time to unleash the Daily Kosmonaut agenda and proceed with stringing up President Chimpy Chimperson and his evil co-conspirator Darth Cheney up by their giblets.

Operation Moonbat is officially underway as a retiring Texas district attorney charged Vice President Dick Cheney with “organised criminal activity”.

Guilt by Six Degrees of Separation

Now that Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra has been released from the menacing cloud of his own 2007 triple felony indictments for first degree theft by a public servant he can concentrate on implementing Operation Moonbat by charging Dick Cheney with “organized criminal activity” due to his investment in Vanguard Group. Vanguard holds financial interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers and this crazy, and soon to be retiring DA, believes that makes Cheney responsible for alleged abuse of inmates by prison officials.

A Texas grand jury has charged US Vice-President Dick Cheney for “organised criminal activity” related to alleged abuse of private prison inmates.

The indictment says Mr Cheney - who has invested $85m (£56m) in a company that holds shares in for-profit prisons - conspired to block an investigation.

The indictment was overseen by county District Attorney Juan Guerra, an outgoing prosecutor at the end of his term of office.

He cites the case of Gregorio De La Rosa, who died on 26 April 26, 2001 inside a private prison in Willacy County, Texas.

The grand jury in Willacy County, near the US-Mexico border, accuses Mr Cheney of committing “at least misdemeanour assaults” of inmates by allowing other inmates to assault them.

It said there was a “direct conflict of interest” because Mr Cheney had influence over federal contracts awarded to prison companies.

US grand juries weigh evidence to decide whether a case is worthy of being sent for a full trial, before issuing formal charges known as indictments.

The three-page indictment also alleges that former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales “used his position…to stop the investigations as to the wrong doings.”

The grand jury wrote that it made its decision “with great sadness,” but said they had no other choice but to indict Mr Cheney and Mr Gonzales “because we love our country.”

Several other related indictments were brought against a host of public officials in what one lawyer called a circus act by the outgoing prosecutor, Mr Guerra, who he said was seeking revenge in his final weeks in office.
