For the better part of today, kfred and I over at ePluribus Media worked with other intrepid investigators on digging through databases full of old Enron email.

We received a tip by way of Moon of Alabama that there were some interesting connections evident in the email.

The work led by kfred resulted in ENRON FILES: Abramoff? Reed? Delay?? Yes. My own tack, remembering that GOPUSA board member Charlie Weldon was an Enron employee, resulted in Help Us Dig through Enron Email: GOPUSA.

A sample of our discoveries below the fold, but first, an invitation to come dig through the Enron dirt with us.
A sample email from kfred’s thread:

Probably not. Let’s communicate Breathitt’s interest to Bone and stay out of
it for now.

Read these from the bottom, these are whole email threads

I believe we should back Massey as well. Who do we weigh in with now?

Steve/Rick/Jim — Talked to John Anderson yesterday. He had just gotten
off the phone with Massey. Massey believes Linda B. is spending time at the
White House lobbying to be Chair. Have we decided whether to back either
and if so which? I would prefer backing Massey. Thoughts? JOE

Joe,

As you are probably aware, Jim Hoecker is considering leaving FERC
relatively soon. The President will then name a new Chairman. Bill Massey
is quite interested in receiving the nomination.

Please call to discuss.

John

Enron was trying to ply influence, ironically, from the very people who would demand the release of all of these emails.

Subject: upcoming board meeting reminder
Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2001 05:30:57 -0800 (PST)

Greetings to all,

Just wanted to remind you about our upcoming Board of Directors meeting. The meeting will be held on Saturday, December 8 in Houston. Thanks  o Paul, we will be meeting at the same location as last time — the law offices of Haynes & Boone. Let’s plan to start at 10:30am.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Take care,

Bobby

And yes, you did read that correctly, someone set up email addresses at Enron for the principals of GOPUSA.

Come on over and get dirty with us. Hell, if you watched the SOTU, it’ll feel like taking a bath.
