July 2000 was only six months before Clinton was out. Clinton was already a lame duck by then. Gore was too busy running for prez and is not as sharp a tack as someone ike Kerry for instance. The WH didn't understand the energy business much. The Petroleum Institute (whom they trust for facts and figures) was covering up for their Texas energy cronies (actually those two were one and the same as Cheney was kinda running the Institute as the top dog in the oil patch along with the Bushes). Clinton tried to help but had only one option because of deregulation. He could sell stragehic reserves, so he did. Bushies attacked him on that, lying to us that the crisis was market driven not a big fix. Clinton backed down. Gore did not engage. Grey was naive enough at fist to trust Kenny Lay's advice. Gore, David and Clinton could not fight an opponent they could not see. The entire energy business leadership was behind this phantom scam and they were united. No leaks, no whistle-blowers, lots of shredding machines (if anytuign was put down on paper at all). Like a big energy mafia. When there was finally an investigation all they could come up with were the incriminating Enron memos about "death star" and all the phony phantom trading. But it wasn't just Enron, they were all in on it. Dynegy, Baker's Reliant, El Paso, you name it. And those companies all had one thing in common, they were at the heart of the Bush-Cheney campaign. They also had the same #1 PR manipulator, Ed Gillespie, now head of the RNC he did such a good job oin California.
