BuzzFlash Interviews Congressman John Conyers, Jr.
February 1, 2002
CONGRESSMAN CONYERS DISCUSSES ENRON, LARRY THOMPSON, AND THE GAO'S REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM CHENEY
John Conyers Jr. of Michigan (14th Congressional District), is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. He is a true hero, fighting the Bush administration for the truth about Enron. John Conyers also continues to fight for all Americans by urging the Bush administration to enact comprehensive election reform, something President Bush has opposed, after the Florida recount.
BUZZFLASH: Congressman Conyers, you wrote a letter last week to U.S. Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson asking him to appoint an outside special counsel to oversee the Justice Department Enron investigation. Why do you think this is necessary?
CONGRESSMAN CONYERS: I think it's necessary because there are definite conflicts of interest going on at several levels within the government. First and foremost, within the Department of Justice, both Attorney General Ashcroft and Larry Thompson, the number two man. Ashcroft has correctly recused himself, as well as the entire U.S. Attorney's office in Houston, Texas. Larry Thompson, whose law firm represented Enron, hasn't. So I don't know how Mr. Thompson thinks he's going to stonewall this for much longer before it becomes a pretty large issue.
