Wow, interesting. A background check was initiated by the White House in 1991, since Jobs was being considered for presidential appointment?? By the elder Bush? or Clinton?

The check brought up a 1984 shareholders lawsuit against Apple.



Would have had to be GHWB--Clinton wasn't inaugurated until 1993.


Isaacson's book mentions that Jobs and Clinton were friends. Most likely it was Clinton who was considering the appointment.


Clinton wouldn't be in the White House for two years tough, would he have asked the FBI to start a background check almost 2 years before the election?


Yeah, I was wrong. Just saw on MacRumors that it was Bush considering him for the President's Export Council.
