Financial specialists have customarily relied upon the stone strong notoriety of examining firms. These autonomous companies were — and the companies that until now are with us — accused of fundamentally looking into the records and the accounting books of their customer partnerships and rendering assessments about the dependability of those records. That was not the same any more, notwithstanding, because of Enron and their auditing company, Arthur Andersen. Till the revelation of Arthur…

In the section called, “Watergate” Eric Foner states, “He viewed every critic as a threat to national security and developed an enemies list, that included reporters.” When a President has foes and considers them enemies his job will become very hard and Americans can claim him as bias.

Brian Cruver was a firsthand witness to the disturbing, surreal, and hilarious moments of Enron's long dance with death. When he first entered Enron's office complex, "the Death Star," he was the epitome of the Enron employee: young, brash, sporting a shiny new MBA, and obscenely overpaid. From his first day, however, when he was told that some colleagues hadn't really wanted to see him hired, he found himself in the middle of a venal greed machine whose story unfolded with all the absurdity and…

On March 23 the National Enquirer recently leaked racy news to the public that claimed Ted Cruz was caught cheating with 5 secret mistresses. The sex scandal shocked Americans across the nation, given that Ted Cruz is a conservative republican senator from Texas.

Before I can answer the question of what our editorial board will do, I must first put it through the smell test. I want to know more about the source; who is Comey? I already know he is an FBI director, but who is he? What kind of reputation does he have? Is their clear conflict or possible resolution behind this letter? What is his motive; what does he have to gain or lose by sending this out so…

The Watergate Scandal forever ruined the nation’s trust in the Presidency. Although the United States was doing well and had just made it out of the unpopular Vietnam War, the nation almost impeached Richard Nixon for his unacceptable actions. After the Watergate Scandal, there have been many more outrages from other well-known politicians.
