Oh, absolutely, that must be it. Call the President, call the FBI, launch Carnivore on FR, but do something, anything, quickly!
It's quiet... too quiet. I don't like it.

The White House is reeling from allegations that both President Bush and Vice President Cheney engaged in business practices that are disturbingly similar to those of executives at Enron and WorldCom. Like administrations before it, this White House now must choose between serving the greater interests of the office of the presidency or the narrower goals of the current officeholder. If last week was any indication, Bush officials have chosen a dangerous path of personal devotion over public duty, a path that has led previous administrations to disaster.
The recent allegations - which may prove overblown under closer scrutiny - center on transactions by Bush and Cheney when they were executives at Harken Energy Corp. and Halliburton Co., respectively. Among the unproven allegations are insider trading, questionable personal loans and fraudulent dealings. The White House staff has put on a full-court press to refute these allegations of private misconduct. In doing so, the administration is drifting into the troubled waters in which the Clinton administration found itself...

This is an outrigt lie and Jonathan Turley should be ashamed of himself.
LOL!
Q Well, sir, if I might, on the question that the Form 4 was eight months late, why was it?THE PRESIDENT: You know, the important document was the 144, the intention to sell. That was the important document. I think you've got a copy of it. If you don't, we'll be glad to get you one, that showed the intention to sell.
As to why the Form 4 was late, I still haven't figured it out completely.

His dad was President at the time. Daddy had pull. The SEC never bothered to actually investigate. As in, ask any questions of Bush or other officers of Harken.
What was there to worry about? The highest levels of the US government would cover for him.
And that is, in fact, a lie. It was a regular press conference and he was asked A MILLION questions about Harken.
And what was wrong with his answer, other than it didn't suit you?
You have ISSUES with people who have parents who love them?
No it isn't. Is it your contention that responding to questions was not addressing these issues or did you have some other point?
Only when those parents cover up obvious lawbreaking.
Well, I haven't followed the various corporate scandals or pseudo-scandals much, as they bore me.
Is the information not accurate?
Well, you can bet your Bush hating A$$ that Ann Richards did. And she didn't find NOTHING. You know how I know? Because if she had, Bush would have never been governor of Texas.
You really look preposterously silly.
Another example of "sports pork" where the taxpayers paid for a new stadium (not to mention the original property owners whose property was condemned and reimbursed below fair market value).
And do NOT speculate. Let's see some facts. They better be specific, not something you "THINK."
Richards doesn't work for the SEC. Her investigations are meaningless. The point is that the investigation that should have occurred didn't.
That wasn't my claim. Nice try.
