Legal experts are now saying Vice President Dick Cheney would have to testify in his former chief of staff's perjury trial.
Looks like the "letter of the law" will be held to the Bush Administration for once About time.
WASHINGTON -- If a prosecutor calls him as a witness, Vice President Dick Cheney probably can't avoid testifying in his former chief of staff's perjury trial, legal experts said Thursday.
"There may be significant issues of executive privilege and significant issues of classified information. But there are obviously significant factual issues that bear on the charges the prosecutor has brought" in the CIA leak investigation, said former federal prosecutor E. Lawrence Barcella Jr.
