Salon has been asking why Congress is investigating Martha Stewart over a $48,000 stock scam when the persuit of Enron appears to have evaporated along with over $63,000,000,000.
The answer of course is that the Republicans are investigating Martha because they don't want to lift the lid on Enron. Who knows what might be uncovered?
A company that cooked its books may well have cooked the accounting for the millions in campaign contribribetions given to Bush.
Any examination of Enron will make it much harder for Thomas White, a $50m Enron scam profiteer to keep his post.
Enron boasted openly of being able to control energy related appointments by the Bush administration, who knows what they may have written in private documents?
Who knows what Enron wrote about the help the administration gave them to bilk California and Arizona out of $50 billion by manipulating the electricity market there?
Enron is known to have advised the corrupt Cheney 'Energy taskforce', Enron's internal view of those discussions may not have been decorous.
No wonder Bush wants a war.
So far Ashcroft has kept Enron bottled up by pretending to investigate but nobody should expect Kenny boy Lay to be doing an Executive perp walk any time soon.
