That's why they just HAD to get Ahnold installed as governor so he could shut the investigation down.

"On May 17, 2001, future Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Los Angeles Mayor Republican Richard Riordan met with Enron CEO Kenneth Lay at the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills. The meeting was convened for Enron to present its "Comprehensive Solution for California," which called for an end to federal and state investigations into Enron's role in the California energy crisis.[32][33][34]

"On October 7, 2003, Schwarzenegger was elected Governor of California to replace Davis."
