Inasmuch as Ms. Watkins is mentioned 35 times in the plaintiffs' complaint in the Enron securities fraud class action, it is reasonable for the defendants to find out what s ce in its motion suggests that Ms. Watkins' deposition testimony in the civil case would provide some kind of "unfair" advantage to the three former Enron executives in preparing to defend their freedom. As Mr. Lay's response points out, the Task Force's request to muzzle Ms. Watkins is without any meaningful basis, particularly given the fact that any tactical advantage that the Task Force may lose as a , reasons Mr. Lay's lawyers, what's the big deal with a deposition of Sherron Watkins?
Well, the issue is not about Ms partment and the Enron Task Force does not want the true story o st as it did not want the true story told during either the Enron-related Nigerian Barge trial or the Enron Broadband trial. As a result, the "Justice" Department is not about "justice" at all. Rather it is about fulfilling pre-conceived political notions of alleged wrongdoing regardless of whether those e that Messrs. Lay, Skilling and Causey be convicted of Enron-re ally the way in which you want that goal accomplished?
