There is no smoking gun that I've seen yet. That these folks know one another is not exactly reason to call for a special investigation. Even the fact that Enron called and asked for special favors is not reason for a special investigation. If none were given, then that's the end of the story.
If support WAS given, but it was legal and common support, then there is still no cause for an investigation.
What must be demonstrated is that "reasonable evidence" that demonstrates some form of illegal intervention was made on behalf of Enron by someone in the government. In that case, there must be an investigation.
Enron did this to themselves. They are crooks, pure and simple. Rush said the tobacco companies were fighting back because the crooks and loan sharks there were not using the money for what they said they were. Big Surprise(sarcasm). This has been happening for years. Seriously, this is how business is being conducted. By crooks and loan sharks. This is what will bring us down. We all laughed when the California lotteries said they were going to use 1/3 for education. Nada, nothing. What do you expect out of a loan shark and con artist. The lottery is free money to them. In a way, it's another form of taxation. One that people just can't wait to throw their money at. I hope the tobacco companies really go after them and get them because they are nothing but cheap crooks who are bringing America down.
I heard the Ford Motor Company CEO is not taking a salary. Believe me, he is not being kind hearted and there is a reason for it; but I don't remember. There used to be a lot of heads of companies that didn't take salaries, and it wasn't because they felt your pain.
