The Enron Tango

This is all really nice, but after four years, are we supposed to believe this Justice Department is going to do anything to Ken Lay?

Enron's former chief accounting officer, Richard Causey, has struck a plea bargain with federal prosecutors and will avoid going to trial with the fallen energy company's two top executives, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

Causey was expected to plead guilty Wednesday to one or more of the 34 criminal charges pending against him, this person told The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the discussions.

Causey, 45, agreed to testify against his former bosses, Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, in exchange for a much lesser prison sentence than he would receive if convicted on all counts.

Lay knows EXACTLY how this presidency was bought and sold. He knows EXACTLY how helpful Dick Cheney wanted to be to Halliburton and energy companies with "the president's visionary energy policy" that just gives whole new levels of corporate welfare (the only type of welfare Republicans like besides BIG tax breaks for billionaires) to energy companies.

Bush is never gonna let his "Kenny Boy" (who Bush later asked of, "Ken who?") stand up and talk.
