Thanks for posting this.

I would love to hear about this IN DETAIL on Bill O'Reilly. Isn't Rubin a friend of his? And has Rush or Sean taken this up. This has always been out there.

And there is more to citi-group's connection with ol ambitious Joey. Citi-group is heavily vested in PAC Joey heads (or headed-not sure if he has escaped from it b/c of recent events).

COME ON JOEY. SHOW SOME STATESMANSHIP!!!!!!!

GET RUBIN IN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interestingly, the chairman of Enron’s finance committee board is Herbert “Pug” Winokur, the former Chairman of the Board of DynCorp. Tied to Winokur through Harvard University’s endowment board is Dudley Mecum who currently sits on the board at DynCorp. Mecum, an Enron director is also a director of Citicorp. Through Citicorp Mecum is tied to former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. When Enron executives started dumping stock, and the warning signs that Enron was in deep trouble were everyone except on the evening news, Winokur and Rubin called Peter Fisher, the current undersecretary of the Treasury to determine the practicality of artificially supporting Enron’s credit rating in order to enable Enron to borrow enough money to stave off bankruptcy.

Mecum - Dyncorp, Dynegy

My guess is that Rubin and Lieberman will not be seen on the Sunday talk shows this week.

[rintense]

I bet McPain will be absent as well.

Mark Levin is a good friend of Sean. I am sure that he will be having him on today discussing it on his radio show.

[hchutch]

Rush's guest host has mentioned this a little in the first hour...

But we ought to FReep O'Reilly and ask him to put the heat on Rubin. We ought to do that, big-time.

Standard & Poor's downgraded Dynegy's senior debt to "junk" on Monday.

Perhaps like Grasso of the NYSE says the industry will get these scoflaws itself.

Isn't Pug Winokur in charge of Harvard's investments? I wonder if he's the one who steered Harvard's money to bin Laden family-owned bio firm Hybridon.

I would think the Republicans would be ALL OVER THIS -- but once again, they are asleep at the wheel. This should be the theme of the 2002 elections, that the DEMOCRATS are to blame for giving us FALSE indications of a strong economy during the Clinton years, only to be exposed for total frauds once Bush took office.

[aristeides]

If they're not going to call Rubin to testify, I wonder if they'll call Citigroup CEO Sandy Weill.

[1Old Pro]

I can just see Peta Jennings reporting this with one eyebrow raised.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Holy Joe was whining this line on the Sunday shows-"if Bush didn't release all the records from Harken, the economy would never recover ". I'm sure we will now see him saying the same thing about Rubin and Citigroup... and now, I would like to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn.

Weren't Lieberman and Dodd instrumental in changing accounting standards that allowed this stuff -- particularly the chicanery at Arthur Andersen -- to happen? I vaguely recall that.

Lieberman, at least, was responsible for passing the law that changed the way stock options were handled and reported. See the Scott Burns article posted on FR yesterday. (thanks to my bud, Dog Gone!)

Excellent note. Likely connection. Nothing shows up on google (Hybridon Winokur), though.

[Betty Jo]

"Medical Science Partners" is the name of the entrepreneurial venture capital group started in 1988 by Harvard.

If Winkokur is part of this mess,I cant find it YET!

This guy Rubin keeps popping up in all the wrong places.

[Uncle George]

Come on GOP, lert get the DEMORATS involved here before the COMMIE MEDIA have a field day against conservitives. Lets hear all about Terry Macalier,and Rubin and Lierberman and all the other lieing slime trying to get legs on this Clinton corruption virus that spread during CLINTONS WATCH.
