6. Maybe the confusion comes from this:

The lawyer that sat with Dubya when he "testified" for Fitzgerald was James Sharp. Sharp supposedly has had many interesting clients of which Ken Lay was one:

James E. Sharp (born 1940) is a top criminal defense lawyer in Washington D.C., working for Sharp & Associates, probably best known for representing President George W. Bush.

Sharp graduated from the University of Arizona and the University of Oklahoma law school, and has had a successful career in law. One of his first cases involved an investigation into a huge fire on the aircraft carrier Forrestal in 1967, during the Vietnam war. Sharp later represented Jeb Stuart Magruder, the deputy director of Richard Nixon's re-election campaign, involved in the Watergate scandal. Magruder was charged with obstruction of justice and was sentenced to four years in prison, although he served less than a year.

Sharp's other high-profile clients have included Clifford Irving, who had authored a falsified autobiography of Howard Hughes; Major General Richard V. Secord, indicted on six felony charges in the Iran-Contra scandal; Senator Daniel Brewster, accused of bribery in a landmark case; Fabian C. Ver, a Filipino general accused of assassination; and Kenneth Lay, the politically well-connected CEO of Enron.
