That's earnings from prior years, deposited and invested until such time as the recipient chooses to take it (usually after retirement, when their tax burden is less). Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but if it's deferred compensation then I don't see the conflict. In Cheney’s case, and in this case, they’re talking about “deferred” compensation, right?

The MSM will just ignore it. Most people will never find out. He'll get away with murder, and then we'll move on to the next outrageous story. The people here who are calling for his impeachment are especially amusing. As if a Dem-controlled Congress would even consider such a thing! IMO, the only useful ACTION we can take right now is to build up the tea parties, or better yet, get a constitutional convention going.

They slip in and out of each other’s worlds, promote each other to the top, and mystify their work to convince the uninitiated that no one else can do it. They easily have their way with compromised regulators ready to look the other way as a small sliver of the population plays high-risk poker with other people’s money. This sliver then has its way again unwinding the damage caused.
