| | What Was Teapot Dome? |
| | The lesson of Teapot Dome is that it is sometimes difficult to maintain scandals in neat categories. | | | Although the extent of the connections between the Bush administration and Enron is not completely clear, it is clear that Enron made large political donations and in turn welded a good deal of influence in Washington. | | | Teapot Dome, however, involved more than a simple case of bribery. |

| | A summary of the Teapot Dome scandal from the Brookings Institution |
| | On March 13, 1924, a civil complaint was filed in the United States District Court for Wyoming against Mammoth Oil, Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing and Sinclair Pipe to cancel and annul the Teapot Dome lease. | | | I was not called upon by Secretary Fall or anyone else for an opinion, written or oral, in regard to the wisdom or legality of the oil leases, and I never volunteered an opinion either written or oral, to Secretary Fall or anyone else. | | | Recently when the oil scandal first developed it appears that the Attorney General's name was mixed in it. |

| | Welcome to The American Presidency |
| | The Supreme Court, finding that the oil leases had been corruptly obtained, invalidated the Elk Hills and Teapot Dome leases in, respectively, February and October 1927. | | | The scandal, which involved the secret leasing of naval oil-reserve lands to private companies, was first revealed to the general public in 1924 after sensational findings by a committee of the U.S. Senate. | | | The lessees were assessed for damages, but ironically the oilmen and their associates escaped conviction on a conspiracy charge, whereas the official who took their money was convicted. |
