The key to the business problem lies with Rubin and the Clinton Treasury and Clinton himself.

Rubin went from Clinton Treasury to Citigroup.

Rubin made the calls to the Bush White House asking that the Enron rating be fudged.

The Bush White House refused.

Citigroup is Lieberman's biggest donor.

Rubin profited from IMF loans to Russia--

Recall Gore was given the 1995 CIA report on Chernomyrdin corruption on which he wrote "bullsh!t"--

Confronted with this fact by Tim Russert, Gore was flustered--

Global Crossing began its skyrocket flight when Anne Bingaman (late of Reno antitrust, wife to Senator Jeff Bingaman, whose Bingaman Commission to Beijing was the payoff for Charlie "Dear President" Trie), was paid a record two million dollars for six months of lobbying the FCC on its behalf.

DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe made eighteen million on a 100K investment in Global Crossing doing the Martha Stewart cut and run.

Li Ka-shing picked up Global Crossing for a dime on the dollar, and the rights to tap U.S. commercial and military communications therein.

As for Halliburton, it still is a fine company, employing my nephew (otherly surnamed).

Let us have a Republican Senate to invite Robert Rubin for a chat.

Let's discuss the U.S. corporate earnings inflation rampant under Rubin-Clinton.

"The key to the business problem lies with Rubin and the Clinton Treasury and Clinton himself."

I don't believe anyone is looking for the key, son, I believe "W."ALL STREET has already discovered that the lock has been torn off and the barn door is open. I believe several other ex-ceo's recently said their firms were fine institution also, just prior to being indicted.

well then lets close the door and put a new lock on it because all it is is a democrat smear. It was all a lie.

Rubin is the KEY!


anyways I am right this is a smear from demorats.

Check this out

But wait. Cheney did not sell his stock because he had inside knowledge that the stock market -- and his company's shares -- were headed south. He was forced to sell his stock when he was chosen by George Bush to be his running mate.

He wasn't dumping. He didn't want to sell. In fact, the big brouhaha at the time was Cheney's wanting to retain some of his stock options. He sold purely to avoid conflicts of interest. Not from any foreknowledge. Certainly not from any guilty knowledge.

It is absurd to associate such forced selling with crooks cooking the books and then dumping stock before the cops arrive with the handcuffs. It's as if one described Tom Ridge's appointment as homeland security chief by saying, "Today Pennsylvania Gov. Ridge, like James Traficant and Richard Nixon, abruptly left office before the expiration of his term."

Ever hear of a blind-trust - if it was such a good deal just hand it over to an executor like Mr. Tyson - who would really have made ole dicky some big bucks.
