I don’t know that I see it as a conspiracy. Could it be? I don’t know if it’s possible or not. The amount of money involved here is unfathomable to me.
But I do wonder if George W. Bush had wanted to if he could have buried this for a few more weeks until after the election. Wouldn’t Bill Clinton have done everything he could to hide the truth until after November? But President Bush trusted his advisers that this was indeed a huge crisis and acted in the most responsible way possible, given what he was told by Henry Paulson and others.
