Lieberman also mentioned that Dan Burton is looking into this mess and should call Rubin to the stand. Calls to Burton's office may need to be made...

Excellent work on this, and thank you for the report!!

One nice thing is that a lot of DC people listen to Imus, so that comment on Rubin is bouncing around the Beltway...HA!

[JohnPaulJones]

It's time to start making calls FReepers! This calls for a major FReep effort. Let's Roll and Eagles up!

Which he hopes gets him off the hook, since they have marginalized by the left wing media

[JohnPaulJones]

My question is. Since, Congress is so concerned with putting CEOs in jail for misdeeds. Who will do the same for these public officials who do not managed the peoples funds?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Yesterday I emailed Imus a letter updating my previous letter to Joe (the conscience of the Senate) LIEberman, in addition to emailing my previous letter (on my profile page).

Don't know if it was my letter, but he asked him chapter and verse, questions that I proposed LIEberman be asked.

Nice to see someone keep the pressure on LIE-man to call Rubin before the November elections.

Need everyone's PING power to keep the issue alive.

You can't say that Lieberman is dumb. The dems would far prefer that Burton, rather than the Dems in the senate, call Rubin. They have proven TIME and TIME AGAIN THAT THEY CAN DISMISS ANYTHING THAT BURTON DOES AS right wing buffonery. I disagree, but they have his number.

[YaYa123]

C-span has on Linda Chavez, and the call-in lines are designated
"Supporters of Pres",
"Opponents of Pres",
"International"

. I haven't watched the entire interview, but I bet the line designations have cut down the number of democrats pretending to be republicans.

I do think the Feds and Congress should be held to the same standards of accounting as they propose for private industry...that more than anything else would restore the world's faith in the integrity of our country.

[Mudboy Slim]

Private MUD reporting fer duty, sir!!

Let's spread the word on McAuliffe and Rubin...they were both complicit in Clinton's illicit campaign finance scandals. Exposing these two during the investigatory phase will expose Der SchleekMeister!!

FReegards...MUD

[uncbob]

Here is how the game is played

democrats attack the GOP and the media covers it full bore

Most of the time the wimpy GOP cowers and succombs to media pressure

HOWEVER the few times that the GOP successfully fights back and the heat is directed towards the democrats the media tactic becomes " The public doesn't want partisan bickering but a solution to the problem"

Just watch if the scandal rightly starts ending up in the democrat camp the media will start in with this mantra

[TLBSHOW]

Rubin will get his due!
ENRON=RUBIN/CLINTON

[OXENinFLA]

And Who was it that put up the money for the CLINTON'S Multi-Million dollar house in Chapiqua?

RE: Enron, Citigroup, Rubin

Dear Don,

Enclosed you will find a letter I sent to Senator Lieberman January 14 of this year. You may wish to ask him some questions about his relationship to Enron, Citigroup, Robert Rubin and the Democratic Party.

I’m sure you are aware that Citigroup, with Rubin there, arranged for Enron to use prepays on loans for energy contracts to improve Enron credit rating and boost its stock price, while raking in approximately $200 million in fees.

If Enron had properly accounted for these transactions, it would have had a dramatic effect on its financial statements. An economic analysis conducted by the Senate subcommittee indicates that Enron’s total debt in 2000 would have spiked 40 percent to about $14 billion, and its funds flow from operations would have dropped by almost 50 percent to $1.7 billion.

During the recent DLC love-fest, Senator Clinton said during her “rousing” speech that President Bush and the Republicans are “all blame and no game”, when it comes to going after corporate malfeasance.

Recently, Lieberman and the chairman of the Committee investigating Enron, Senator Carl Levin, have both said that further hearings on Enron will be held in January (well after November elections). How convenient; after issuing subpoenas to Bush White House aides in the Enron probe, Levin and Lieberman refuse to call their “boy” Robert Rubin.

My suggested questions for Mr. Lieberman:
a) Isn’t it true that you and Carl Levin are dragging your feet on Enron because you don’t want to hurt all the Democrats involved before the November elections?
b) Why do you refuse to call Robert Rubin to testify now, when you know that he called two members of Bush’s administration to try and help Enron’s credit ratings (clearly unethical).
c) Isn’t it true Mr. Lieberman that to paraphrase Hillary, “You’re all blame and no game”?

Have fun with Ol’ Joe.

Very truly yours,
BOBTHENAILER

[OldFriend]

Notice too that LIEberman said he didn't know if it was illegal for Rubin to try to get the rating company to falsify Enron's fiscal status, but it was certainly unethical............GIVE ME A BREAK.......he was trying to get Moody's to commit fraud.

[My Favorite Headache]

I never watch MSNBC if I don't have to. I wish I did now this morning since I was up at 6. Damn! Anyone get a full transcript of this I would like to read it.
