Candidate had Enron meeting at scandal height
Candidate's Enron meeting questioned by Dems

RAW STORY
Published: Friday June 2, 2006

Congressional candidate David McSweeney's ties to bankrupt energy giant Enron have come under scrutiny after a calendar has surfaced indicating that a meeting took place between the Illinois Republican and Enron CFO Andrew Fastow just prior to the company's collapse.

"Democratic operatives" have been quoted as shopping the story to both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune, pointing reporters to a timeline that could imply McSweeney had been a key figure in Bank of America's part in the Enron scandal.

McSweeney, on the other hand, portrays himself as instrumental in ending dealings between the bank and the now-bankrupt power company.
