HOUSTON, May 19— Enron and Global Crossing used a complex deal brokered by a third company to sidestep accounting rules in a March 2001 transaction that was designed to help Global Crossing disguise a loan and allow each company to book revenue, according to executives and traders involved in the transaction.
GlobalCrossingGate Scandal
EXCERPT:
Welcome to the newest site dedicated to exposing the democratic scandal that closely ties with Enrongate. The Global Crossing scandal has been virtually ignored by the liberal media, which have basically been trying to linger on Enron and ridiculously trying to make it out to be a Bush scandal despite strong evidence that it is another Clinton scandal.
Like Enron, you have what appear to be top corporate bigwigs making out with millions. Gary Winnick made off with something in excess of 700 million dollars alone. That was more than the entire sum Enron Executives got put together. Global Crossing had its books audited by Arthur Andersen as well.
More on Global Crossing and this time add George Bush
EXCERPT:
Then there's the story about George Bush, the current president's father. In 1998, six months before the company went public, Bush appeared on Global Crossing's behalf at an event in Tokyo. His normal fee for such an appearance: $100,000.
But during a breakfast with the company's co-chairmen, Winnick and Lodwrick Cook (an old Bush friend and former head of Atlantic Richfield Co.) sold Bush on Global Crossing's prospects. Bush agreed to be compensated instead with $80,000 in Global Crossing stock.

Riady 2009 and Clinton
EXCERPT:
Riady's return to the United States poses a prickly question for Hillary Clinton's State Department: How and why did a foreign billionaire stained by Clinton-era scandals get a U.S. visa after being kept out for so long under the Bush administration?
The ethnic Chinese magnate's ties to the Clintons have been a source of heated controversy since the late 1990s, when Riady became embroiled in one of the murkiest episodes of the Clinton presidency -- a campaign fundraising scandal that caused a big political ruckus in Washington amid Republican Party allegations, never proved, of meddling by China's intelligence services in American politics.

Hillary Friends
EXCERPT:
Since Mrs. Clinton announced her campaign for president, controversies involving her husband's business and philanthropic endeavors have occasionally raised questions about the potential for ethical conflicts should she win the White House. Among them is Mr. Clinton's partnership with Ronald W. Burkle, the billionaire investor and supermarket magnate, whose deals have included investing money for the government of Dubai and acquiring a stake in a Chinese media company.
Samuel Rivera (another crook)
EXCERPT:
Political career
Rivera ran for Passaic City Council in 1993 and 1995, losing both times.[6] Later in 1995 he won a special election to the Council by 11 votes.[6] He then ran a losing campaign for mayor in 1997, and then again in 2001, winning the race.[6] New Jersey Governor Donald DiFrancesco attempted to prevent Rivera from taking office due to his status as a Puerto Rican felon, but Superior Court judge Robert Passero allowed Rivera to be sworn in, finding that the state had failed to prove that Rivera's crime was a crime of "moral turpitude".[1][6]
Rivera is a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition and, when he served as mayor, was a member of Hillary Clinton's Mayors Council[8] and National Hispanic Leadership Council.[9] During the course of his tenure as mayor, Rivera had the City Council nearly triple his salary from $40,000 to $117,000.[1]
