The Politico reports that Dick Cheney has abandoned his argument that he is not part of the Executive Branch. They report, “The decision follows a threat by Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), the No. 3 House Democrat, to try to cut off the office’s $4.8 million in executive-branch funding.”
No surprise. Dick Cheney basically sees the United States government as a source of money to plunder. He’s certainly not going to give up $4.8 million in funding, especially when he didn’t have much of an argument to begin with.
Update: Cheney’s office subpoenaed
