Guess you know....finally Rubin has been put on the Enron-related investigation list.

Heard his name mentioned but don't have any details.

[sultan88]

And where Winnick goes on the investigation trail, McAuliffe is soon to follow.......

Hope you are right, Liz!

[Liz]

How unreasonable can I get? To deny this nice, philanthropic man a measly three-quarters of a billion of illegal profit.

Jeepers, you are so right. I better concentrate on the larger issues.

"hope Allard is up to the challenge" Allard has Dick Wadhams, who is Colorado's version of Karl Rove. As soon as Strickland went negative on the accounting scandels, Allard responded with negative Global Crossing ads. Even the liberal Denver Post opined that Strickland's strategy was stupid, which Wadhams immediately turned into another Allard ad. This race is going to be nasty, but from the Pubbie side it will be well-run.

No discussion of the corruption at Global Crossing is complete without a mention of "the $18 million dollar man," Terry MacAuliffe. For those who somehow missed it, he parlayed $100,000 in Global stock that was given to him for making one speech, into $18 million cash in hand.

Good ol' Terry, the "friend to the working man," grabbed his cash in hand like Winnick himself did, before the house of cards collapsed leaving workers and their pensions holding a big, fat, empty bag. Oh, Terry DID do one thing to "earn" his $18 million -- he arranged for a three-hour face-to-face meeting between Clinton (him) and Winnick on a golf course.

Terry should have already be disbarred and in jail for taking a $364,000 bribe from Prudential Insurance. The company pleaded guilty to paying the bribe and paid a fat fine. Terry was never even investigated much less charged, since Janet ("the Just") Reno was Attorney General at the time.

So, every time you hear the name "Global Crossing," be sure to think of "the $18 million dollar man," Terry MacAuliffe.

I discuss Terry's exploits, fondly of course, in my latest book, second link below.

Ooooo....just in time, too. McAuliff has been making a real pain in the nether regions of himself again.

Just out of curiosity....why doesn't congrees leve this stuff to the SEC?

[cake_crumb]

"why doesn't congrees leve this stuff to the SEC?"

YEEEESH...that was SUPPOSED to be "why doesn't congress leave this stuff to the SEC?"

Must be about time to get off this thing.

"Naftalis, Winnick's lawyer, said, "There isn't a shred of evidence that his stock sale was in any way wrong or illegal."

Don't you just love it when they say, "Not a shred of evidence.."?

[cake_crumb]

"Don't you just love it when they say, 'Not a shred of evidence..'?"

Yep...now we know what happened to the evidence, at least. Not that it helps. Let's just hope they missed something.

[Liz]

Misspoke.....he meant," Nyah, nyah, we shredded all the evidence."

[Liz]

Thanx for the link.....

[Liz]

....sounds like the Pubbies know how to play hardball up there in heavenly ski country.......

[Donahu?]

And where Winnick goes on the investigation trail, McAuliffe is soon to follow.......

Timing is everything. Gee, an election on the horizon? Some dumb dims are busy asking themselves- why did we pursue Enron in January?

[max61]

I keep wondering when does Enron get investigated?.

Isn't it typical that the AP article would leave out any mention of MacAuliffe? After all, he's only a high profile democrat who made a killing on his investment in Global Crossing. No story there. Just move on.

[Hank Rearden]

The GOP needs to jump on this with both feet, tying it to Dem politicians and McAuliffe.

Yeah, that'll happen. I'm sure Trentie the Fairy Lott is getting right on it. He's such a streetfighting scrapper; I'm sure the 'Rats are sweating bullets right now.

Poofter Boy'll take 'em to the mat, just watch.

[waterstraat]

Winnick belongs in prison for the rest of his life. The money he took should be given back to the stockholders and employees of Global Crossing.

[Liz]

Amen.
