We did the same thing during Clinton's time on Pardongate, Monicagate, Chinagate, Whitewater, for the press to "dig harder". Guess it's the GOP's turn in the barrel.....

What are you saying!! There were REAL issues and charges related to the Clinton's and the liberal media would not report it. This Enron stuff is not to be compared with what happened with Clinton.

I don't remember anyone on Whitewater threatening to bring out personal information against reporters to break the story.

Remember the Democrats were going to do just that before Bob Beckel got called on the carpet in the Florida election crisis.

GOP's turn in the barrel? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The clanging sound you hear is the Democrats with shovels hitting granite after digging themselves into a hole. Drudge current headline story follows.

FLASHBACK: CLINTON OFFICIAL MET WITH ENRON CHAIRMAN;
$100,000 CASH DONATION TO DEMOCRATS TIMED TO PLANT APPROVAL TIME MAGAZINE
SEPTEMBER 1, 1997

On Nov. 22, 1995 President Clinton scrawled an FYI note to chief of staff Mack McLarty, enclosing a newspaper article on Enron Corp. and the vicissitudes of its $3 billion power-plant project in India.

McLarty then reached out to Enron's chairman, Ken Lay, and over the next nine months closely monitored the project with the U.S. ambassador to New Delhi, keeping Lay informed of the Administration's efforts, according to White House documents reviewed by TIME magazine.

In June 1996, four days before India granted final approval to Enron's controversial $3 billion power-plant project, Enron's gave $100,000 to President Clinton's party.

Enron denies that its gift was repayment for Clinton's attention, and White House special counsel Lanny Davis says McLarty acted out of concern for a major U.S. investment overseas, TIME's Michael Weisskopf reported.

****

DRUDGE NOTE: McLarty was later hired by Enron. Lay also played golf with President Bill Clinton and slept in the Clinton White House. A master of political manipulation of both parties, Lay served as an adviser to the Clinton White House on energy issues. The Clinton administration, in turn, helped Enron get a contract for a gas pipeline in Mozambique and other projects, according to reports.

END
