That is outrageous..you're right, where is Joe Liberman? I've been saying since day one that Rubin was up to his eye balls in this Enron deal..If I could see it, and I'm a GIVE, why didn't all the news people? Where was CNBC?
Yet, Lieberman knew that Rubin, on behalf of Citigroup — which had an approximate $1 billion investment in Enron and the potential of large merger and other fees in pending deals — on at least two occasions, sought personally to protect Enron's credit rating. Still, as best as I can tell, Lieberman has never asked Rubin to testimony before his committee. Furthermore, Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is holding a hearing today on "The Role of the Financial Institutions In Enron's Collapse," has, to the best of my knowledge, not sought Rubin's testimony. (An inquiry I made to Levin's subcommittee asking whether Rubin would be a witness at today's hearing went unanswered.) |
