Rjung you have gone off the deep end with your conspiracy theories. Let’s address a couple of things. G.W. Bush has many duties as President. I am sure you are familiar with them. He hasn’t gotten around to becoming a federal prosecutor yet. As such he has no say as to whether or not Ken Lay is indicted.
I’m sure that he could influence that if he so chose. Politically that would be suicidal. Though I am ready to believe many things about our current President, I will need actual evidence for this one. Any pressure the White House exerts on the prosectors would be deeply resented (as it should be), and would long ago have been leaked to the media.
The Enron case takes a long time because it is incredibly complicated. Though they appear to have the documents, the prosecution needs witnesses to testify. They brought down Fastow, who will testify against Skilling. Skilling will cave and will testify against Lay. This is how things are done and always will be done. Without witnesses the jury will not convict. I work in the financial industry and I would have trouble understanding the maneuvers Enron used to defraud investors based on documents alone.
This is beyond the pale, and into the neighborhood of dementia. You are seriously suggesting that Bush controls the media like Stalin’s twerpy, slightly goofy younger brother. He decided that Martha Stewart should be prosecuted to divert attention from Ken Lay. That can’t really be what you are saying. Martha Stewart is being prosecuted because she is probably guilty. People pay attention because she is a celebrity. Not 1 in 10,000 Americans could pick Andy Fastow out of a lineup.
