Freeper Letter Makes Talk Radio

706 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510

RE: Enron Investigation

Dear Senator Leiberman,

I watched your Sunday morning appearance on Face the Nation with intense interest. Inasmuch as I own a fair amount of Enron stock in my SEP/IRA, I'm sure you can understand my curiosity relative to your investigation. Knowing you to be an honorable man, I feel secure that you will diligently pursue the below listed matters in an effort to determine what part, if any, these matters contributed to the collapse of Enron.

1. Government records reveal the awarding of seats to Enron executives and Ken Lay on four Energy Department trade missions and seven Commerce Department trade trips during the Clinton administration's eight years.

a. From January 13, 1995 through June 1996, Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and White House Counsel Mack McLarty assisted Ken Lay in closing a $3 billion dollar power plant deal with India. Four days before India gave final approval to the deal, Enron gave $100,000 to the DNC. Any quid pro quo?

b. Clinton National Security Advisor, Anthony Lake, threatened to withhold aid to Mozambique if it didn't approve an Enron pipeline project. Subsequent to Mr. Lake's threats, Mozambique approved the project, which resulted in a further $770 million dollar electric power contract with Enron. Perhaps, if NSA Advisor Lake had not been so busy strong-arming for Enron, he might have been focused on something obliquely related to national security like, say, Mr. Bin Laden? Could it be that a different, somewhat related, investigation is warranted?

c. In 1999, Clinton Energy Secretary Bill Richardson traveled to Nigeria and helped arrange a joint, varied, energy development program which resulted in $882 million in power contracts for Enron from Nigeria. Perhaps if Energy Secretary Richardson had been more focused on domestic energy, we might have avoided:
i. The severe loss of nuclear secrets to China and concurrently
ii. developed more domestic sources of energy.
d. Subsequent to leaving Clinton White House employ, Enron hired Mack McLarty (White House Counsel), Betsy Moler (Deputy Energy Secretary) and Linda Robertson (Treasury Official). Even a person without a high school diploma (no disrespect to airline security screeners) can see that this looks like Enron paying off political favors with fat-cat corporate jobs, at the expense of stockholders and Enron pension employees.

e. Democratic Mayor Lee P. Brown of Houston (Enron headquarter city), received $250,000 just before Enron filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Isn't that an awful lot of money to throw away right before bankruptcy?

The Democratic National Committee was the recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars from 1990 through 2000. The above matters appear to be very troubling and look like, smack of, reek of, political favors for campaign payoffs. I know you will find out.

2. Recently, former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin called a top U.S. Treasury official, asking on Enron's behalf, for government help with credit agencies. As you well know, Rubin is the chairman of executive committee at Citigroup, which just coincidentally, is Enron's largest unsecured creditor at an estimated $3 billion dollars.

3. As you well know, Mr. Leiberman, Citigroup is Senator Tom Daschle's largest contributor ($50,000) in addition to being your single largest contributor ($112,546). This fact brings to mind some disturbing questions I feel you must answer.

a. Have you, any member of your staff, any Senate or House colleagues, any relatives or any friends of yours, been asked by Citigroup to intercede on their behalf, in an effort to recover part or all of Citigroup's $3 billion, at the expense of Enron's shareholders, employees and or Enron pensioners?

b. Did your largest contributor, Citigroup, have anything to do with the collapse of Enron?

c. Enron has tens of thousands of employees, stockholders and pensioners who have lost their life savings. How will you answer their most obvious question? Do you represent Citigroup, your largest contributor, or do you represent the Enron employees, et al, who stand to lose if Citigroup recovers any of its $3 billion?

During Sunday's Face the Nation, both you and Senator McCain praised Attorney General Ashcroft for recusing himself from the Justice Department investigation because he had once received a contribution from Enron. I know in my heart, that, being the honest gentleman you are, you will now recuse yourself because of the glaring conflict of interest described above. I also know that you will pass this letter to your successor for his or her attention.

Very truly yours,

Robert Theodore Knalur

I was thinking that Conservative Alerts.com and/or Grassfire.net should send this out and have people send this letter to Joe Lieberman. Flood his office with it or better yet flood every Democrats office with it. Is he still heading the committee or whatever looking into Enron? I don't know.

GOD'S BEST TO YOU AND YOURS IN ALL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNICATIONS.

Thanks to you for all your comments. I'm not computer savvy enough to get this to all media, but I believe it was blast faxed by Strafan to a ton of media orgs. when I wrote it.

As to distribution during the hildabeast's signings, I would love to have any freeper wishing to do so, to copy it and hand it out to any fool willing to shell out $4.21 for her fictional book, or whatever deep discount it is now being spoon fed to the gullible public at.

All God's blessings to you and yours as well. Noble efforts take place here on a daily basis and I'm praying that God's grace will guide us all.

THANKS BOB, TigersEye,

Agree. Prayers for sure.

Hmmmmm, I'm wondering . . . perhaps we could cut letter sized sheets in half and print your excellent piece on them then insert them in a few of the displayed fiction tomes.

I shall persist where practical in also placing TREASON on top of the piles of fiction poop by Shrillery Hellery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Marx de Sade.

Good suggestion TigersEye.

Wish I had the funds to put it in at least a quarter page add for 14 days running in every newspaper in my State.

Have started handing it out to the men in my church. But most of them are convinced already.

Another possibility is to leave them in the kiddie basket of the grocery/WalMart etc. cart when you return it--but not outside where it would create litter in a wind.

And it seems to me apartment owners etc. could distribute it to their leasees.

And, one can leave a copy with a generous tip to waiters etc.

Certainly one could include it in greeting cards, birthday cards etc, family newsletters.

Any other ideas?

Anyway to get the word out. As the NIKE commercial goes....just do it.

"Nice letter, Mr. Nailer. But I wouldn't bet the farm on the integrity of Mr. Lieberman..."

Almost a perfect score, but we'll have to deduct points for using the word "integrity" in the same sentence with "Lieberman"! ;-)

"Wat = Way"

You know, FR would do us all a favor by installing 'spell checking/correcting' software in the reply window.

In addition to fixing such minor goofs, it sould also take some less than wholesome comments e.g., the familiar mo**erf**ker comment so ofter used in describing a dem, and automatically convert it to mo**erf**ker. Sure would make venting easier, as the * key is off the beaten path.

Just a thought!
