A few laws the 1st tyrant of the 21st century has broken.

I'd thought I'd list some of the major crimes and treaties this current War Criminal of a president has broken:

1. Deception of Congress and the American Public Committing a Fraud Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)
2. Making False Statements Against the United States (18 U.S.C. § 1001)
3. War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148)
4. Misuse of Government Funds (31 U.S.C. § 1301)
5. Improper Detention, Torture, and Other Inhumane Treatment Anti-Torture Statute (18 U.S.C. § 2340-40A)
6. The War Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. § 2441)
7. The Geneva Conventions and Hague Convention: International Laws Governing the Treatment of Detainees
8. United Nations Convention Against Torture, and Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment: International Laws Governing the Treatment of Detainees
9. Command Responsibility (for known illegal acts of subordinates in the military) Detainment of Material Witnesses (18 U.S.C. § 3144)
10. Retaliating against Witnesses and Other Individuals Obstruction Congress (18 U.S.C. § 1505)
11. Whistleblower Protection (5 U.S.C. § 2302)
12. The Lloyd-LaFollette Act, or "anti-gag rule" (5 U.S.C. § 7211)
13. Retaliating against Witnesses (18 U.S.C. § 1513)
14. Leaking and other Misuse of Intelligence and other Government Information
15. Revealing Classified Information in Contravention of Federal Regulations (Executive Order 12958/Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement)
16. Statutory Prohibitions on Leaking Information (18 U.S.C. § 641, etc.)
17. Laws Governing Electronic Surveillance Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (50 U.S.C. § 1801, et seq.)
18. National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. chapter 15)
19. Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. § 222)
20. Stored Communications Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. § 2702)
21. Pen Registers or Trap and Trace Devices (18 U.S.C. § 3121)
22. Laws and Guidelines Prohibiting Conflicts of Interest (28 U.S.C. § 528, etc.)

Of course a few of these the administration has already been found guilty of, but Libby took the fall for them. I have a lot of admiration for Libby. However I feel he must of just been the lowest one on the totem pole in the room when they talked about who was going to take the fall.I can only hope and pray the next president’s attorney general brings justice to this evil and vile slaughter of thousands of people, the first true tyrant of the 21st century George W. Bush.
