This is shaping up to be Obama's keynote scandal. Now all the company folks are planning to take the 5th. And these idiots want to raise our taxes..... :lol:
Well of course, where else are they going to get another half a billion dollars to give to other buddies of his?
I heard that was after House Republicans granted them an extra week to get their testimony together, at their request.
Obama will not release his Blackberry messages concerning Solyndra. What did the president know and when did he know it? (Politico) — President Barack Obama won’t be sharing his BlackBerry messages with House investigators seeking communications about Solyndra, the White House told Hill Republicans on Friday. White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler told House Energy and Commerce Committee leaders that they should still be happy with the trove of Solyndra-related documents they’re getting from federal agencies including DOE, the Treasury Department and the Office of Management and Budget. But Ruemmler said the investigators’ request for all internal White House communications about Solyndra — dating back to the first day of the Obama administration — “implicates long-standing and significant institutional Executive Branch confidentiality interests.” “Encroaching upon these important interests is not necessary, however, because the agency documents the Committee has requested, which include communications with the White House, should satisfy the Committee’s stated objective — to ‘understand the involvement of the White House in the review of the Solyndra loan guarantee and the Administration’s support of this guarantee,’” Ruemmler added in her letter, to committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and oversight subcommittee Chairman Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.). CNN reported on the White House rebuff Friday evening. POLITICO later obtained the letter from a government source.
This guy is too stupid to be involved in any elaborate cover ups. He was elected on the strength of one good speech four years prior and now he spends more time stuttering and stammering as his inadequacies become more transparent. He is nothing more than the face for a socialist movement.
Where's that damn teleprompter when you need it?!? And why was Bush taken to task for having so little talent for public speaking, when this guy has the same issue, except when reading a prepared statement??
(Fox News) — Solyndra executives were awarded quarterly bonuses worth up to $60,000 apiece earlier this year as the California solar-panel company headed for bankruptcy, court documents show. Documents filed by the company in U.S. bankruptcy court in Delaware show the well-paid executives at the firm were given bonuses in April and in July, just months before the company filed for bankruptcy in September and laid off 1,100 workers. The details add to the narrative of what was happening behind the scenes in the year leading up to the company’s financial collapse, though congressional Republicans investigating the matter are looking for more details. After the Obama administration turned over 20,000 pages of documents earlier this week pertaining to Solyndra, House Republicans on Thursday night served the White House and vice president’s office with a subpoena for more Solyndra documents.
...and another one...and another one...and another one... :roll: Via Washington Examiner: Abound Solar, given a $400 million Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantee for a project expected to create 400 permanent jobs, receives private financial backing through an investment firm founded by a fundraising bundler for President Obama. The Sunlight Foundation notes that Bohemian Companies, which was founded by billionaire and Obama bundler Pat Stryker, participated with other companies in the “second institutional equity round of financing” in 2008 for Abound Solar, which recieved $104 million total through that round of financing. Stryker gave $50,000 to Obama’s inauguration, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and raised a further $87,000 for the inauguration. Stryker has since donated $35,800 to the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, Sunlight reports.
