"It’s too soon to say whether Enron Corp.’s spectacular collapse will become a bona fide Washington scandal, but the classic elements suddenly burst into view yesterday — disclosures of destroyed documents, phone calls to the White House from a big political contributor, an attorney general’s recusal and damage control efforts by the president. "

“When you have George Bush, Enron, bankruptcy, Texas and campaign contributions all mixed together, it’s a huge political problem for this administration,” said Democratic Party spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri. “Attorney General [John D.] Ashcroft’s decision [to recuse himself] shows just how spooked they are."

There's no evidence of any wrongdoings by the administration, but this looks like it potentially could be the makings for an interesting scandal. I guess we'll have to wait to see how this plays out.

You wish

You don't become president by being honest, sadly.

Scandal or not, nothing will really dome of this. Look at Whitewater. Nothing really bad happened to the Clintons. AFAIK, they were both guilty.

Yes, "I wish"

A business scandal doesn't necessarily make for a political scandal. Speculative to say the least.

Of course those hoping for a political scandal may not like the results.

"Enron Corp. sought to use its political clout and deep pockets to curry favor with the Clinton administration for a proposed $3 billion power plant project in India, giving $100,000 to the Democratic Party when the deal was being completed."
