ENE will be investigated by the DOJ as well as several congressional committees. Your wish is granted, Mr. Republican.
”…there seems to be a strong possibility that crimes were committed at Enron, and at Andersen, and that a lot of regular folks like you and me suffered as a result.”
I’m still waiting for someone, anyone, to tell me what those crimes are. And how much ENE stock did you hold?
” So, the focus will be on Bush and Cheney as far as the government ties that Enron had are concerned. “
That is the Liberal wet dream. It looks like it isn’t going to happen. But keep hoping.
” Well, first of all, it means that Cheney has to suck it up and provide the info about Enron's participation in the energy policy. I don't think there's anything there, but every day he resists, terrible damage is done to the President and his administration in the eyes of the public. Full disclosure is the only way to stop unfounded attacks.”
Please provide me with a road map that connects the bankruptcy of ENE, and the Administration’s energy policy. How one affects the other. What part of the Bush energy policy would have uniquely benefited ENE? As far as I know, the only controversial part of the policy is drilling for oil in ANWAR. Did ENE own ANWAR? What information do you have?
The “terrible damage” reminds me of the predictions only a week ago that this was going to be bigger than Whitewater. If you are going to parrot the Party Line, please keep up.
Okay, one more time for anyone who didn't get it the first time: It is irrelevant that there was likely no impropriety on the part of the White House. It is the appearance of impropriety in the form of refusing disclosure that will bury the administration. The Democrats and the media will turn sh*t into gold if Cheney and others don't cough up the documents.
Bush/Cheney came in to office vowing to change things. If they make it look like they are covering things up, connected to a scandalous corporate collapse that has captured the people's attention, and connected to one of the more unpopular of the administration's policies (ANWR), there is no telling how bad this could be for the party and the president.
This is politics. You and I both know that the White House should be in the clear. But it's they who will be shooting themselves in the foot if they allow the Democrats and the media to create a scandal where none exists.
