CHENEY ARTICLE II. MAKING FALSE REPRESENTATIONS (2) Perpetuating False Evidence In his efforts to justify and gain public support for the invasion of Iraq by United States Armed Forces, he has also made assertions to the effect that the Government of Iraq had been attempting to purchase uranium from Niger in an effort to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program, and when, on July 6, 2003, Ambassador Joseph Wilson publicly exposed the evidence supporting these assertions to be false and to be based on forged documents, did subsequently prevail upon President George Walker Bush to declassify the National Intelligence Estimate of the Central Intelligence Agency for the purpose of using this report to perpetuate the Niger uranium story, which he knew to be false, in order to mislead the Congress and the public in relation to the use of military force against Iraq, by directing his Chief of Staff, I. Lewis Libby Jr. to leak to the press select portions of the National Intelligence Estimate which supported the uranium story, whilst withholding those portions of the document which dissented from it. Whereby, Richard Bruce Cheney, by conspiring to perpetuate public faith in evidence that had been shown to be false, in violation of the United States Code, Title 18, Section 1001, under which it is unlawful to falsify a material fact or make “any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation,” did commit high crimes and misdemeanors against the United States of America and by such conduct warrants impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
