Sen Clinton says White House should turn over Enron documents

Sen. Clinton says White House should turn over Enron documents By SHANNON McCAFFREY Associated Press Writer January 22, 2002, 12:13 PM EST WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who as first lady fought her share of battles over the release of documents, said Vice President Dick Cheney should release records Congress is seeking on the administration's energy policy meetings and Enron. "I think the request from the Congress should be dealt with," the New York Democrat told The Associated Press. She said the Clinton White House "certainly ended up dealing with a lot of requests and at the end of the day people could draw their own conclusions and I think that's what the public deserves." President Clinton and the first lady were investigated frequently by Congress on issues ranging from their failed Whitewater land deal, firings in the White House travel office and the president's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. Prosecutors and congressional investigators were met with varying degrees of cooperation from the Clintons. Whitewater-related billing records from Hillary Clinton's Rose Law Firm were discovered by an aide in the White House living quarters some two years after they had first been subpoenaed. Cheney has said he met half dozen times with Enron executives while formulating the Republican administration's energy plan but has refused to turn over records of those and his other meetings on the plan. Last week, Clinton said she was donating almost $8,000 in contributions from Enron and its accounting firm Arthur Andersen LLP to an employee fund set up to help Enron employees. Clinton received $950 from Enron employees, according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics. Her office said she also received $7,000 in donations from employees of Arthur Andersen.

She is too funny-the woman who had the rose law firm SHRED documents, the woman who made ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND on a 1000 dollar investment, the woman who did not have ANY idea where the billing office records were and then they suddenly turned up in the WH private living quarters, the woman who ordered that NO ONE could go in to Vince Foster's office after his death (until her minions cleared it out, that is) and the woman who REFUSED all out press interviews while running her campaign for NY wants someone in THIS administration to turn over documents??? Oh ROFLMAO!

Hey, Hillary, let's investigate the $3 billion deal that the Clinton administration swung for Enron to build a power plant in India, and the $100,000 that Enron gave to the Democratic Party as the deal was being finalized.

A little disappointing that it took 18 replies to this thread before someone--without issuing qualifying comments or snide remarks--simply acknowledged that Sen. Clinton is 100% correct in requesting release of the information in question.

Her hypocrisy in this matter is well-noted, but does not detract one bit from what the administration is (or isn't) making public.

Bob Novak is right--the "Arrogance of Power" exhibited by this and other stonewalling tactics is unbecoming an otherwise ethically-sound administration.

Memo to "Senator" Clinton: Shut up, you dried up old power whore.

This seemed worthy of repeating.

You are wrong. No one has a right to see the V.P. confidential notes on the meeting. The contents of the National Energy Policy are public. Where was all the need for full disclosure and transparency when Hillary got involved in health care? Who appointed her? What credentials does she possess except for being in a loveless a marriage of convenience to a former Governor of Arkasas?
