I don't doubt contracts were legit and her husbands company provided the services, just like Haliburton. There won't be hearings on Haliburton because there is no substance to the charges.

This is a bit of a non-response. When Clinton has his nob serviced, it was no one's business. When he LIED, then it was everyone's business. Cheney LIED (admittedly not under oath, but again a lie is a lie) about severing ALL financial ties from Haliburton. Also, what say you about the common knowledge of the Times article? I remember reading the article, and I remember there being a discussion here, even. There was a leaked email published in Time Magazine linking Cheney to getting non-bid contracts for Haliburton. That paints a very dark and specific picture.
Did Feinstein resign? Yes. Did Cheney? Absolutely not.
