27. I do believe Waxman is still awaiting a tape from GE
featuring former CEO and Poppy Bush pResidential library trustee, Jack Welch, from election night 2000 ...


I suspect he, also, has a huge Halliburton file.


Go Henry! Make history!


from 2001:

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) is still pushing NBC News to hand over alleged videotapes from last November's presidential election.

Waxman says the tapes, which NBC insists do not exist, show GE Chairman/CEO Jack Welch trying to push NBC into calling the election for George W. Bush. According to trade magazine Multichannel News, Waxman sent a four-page letter last Thursday to NBC president/COO Andrew Lack - demanding that NBC turn over the tapes or risk facing a congressional subpoena.

"This is especially important when committee witnesses promise - under oath - to supply requested information. So I respectfully decline to close this matter," Waxman said, according to Multichannel News.

He added that he was "offended" by Lack's position and called NBC's decision to declare the matter dead an "arrogant assertion."
