Bush's first choice was Ken Lay for Secretary Of Treasury. And it almost happened, but then Enron started falling. This is 100% true and proven by the Enron trader tapes where they are heard laughing about ripping off billions, and chortling about how much more they can gouge once Lay is made Sec Of Treasury by Bush.

You have the gift of nonsense. If Bush had actually wanted Lay in his cabinet, Lay would have been in the cabinet. He had already stepped down as CEO and was lobbying for a position in the Bush administration. Obviously, someone on the transition team smelled a rat.

Enron did not start to unravel until the summer of 2001, when Skilling stepped down.

As for your proof, are you suggesting that the Enron traders were privy to the deliberations of the GWB transition team? Now that would be a story.
