  • From the Washington Post: Solyndra’s two top executives plan to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer questions when they testify Friday before a House Energy and Commerce Committee panel investigating the failed solar panel maker, which received more than $500 million in federally backed loans. But in a statement, the company asserted that it “is not aware of any wrongdoing by Solyndra officers, directors or employees in [...]...

  • Solyndra, the California solar panel company boosted by a half a billion dollars in stimulus money, went under last week. Congressional Republicans have been saying for some time that the loans were questionable and aren’t encouraged by OMB’s refusal to show them the books.

    • MSNBC Has Not Done One Prime Time Report on Solyndra
  • Seems to me that MSNBC just recently had a field day with accusations that FOX was “going light” on the News of the World phone hacking scandal. And yet, as Noel Sheppard reports, MSNBC is on a starvation diet regarding Solyndra news: Despite the announcementof the Solyndra bankruptcy on August 31, “Hardball,” “PoliticsNation,” “The Last Word,” “The Rachel Maddow Show,” and “The Ed Show” have not done one single report [...]...

    • Solyndra Bankruptcy Docs List California Democratic Party as Creditor
  • Weird that a political party would be a creditor to a green jobs boondoggle: Out of the hundreds of out-of-work employees, vendors, investors and other creditors in the bankruptcy of government-backed solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC, one name stands out: the California Democratic Party. Why California Democrats would be creditor to a company that received more than a half-billion dollars in federal loans to build a solar-panel plant isn’t clear. Even [...]...

    • Video: Hearings Suggest Administration Violated the Law to Keep Solyndra Afloat
  • Until today, there was really no evidence of any crime related to Solydra’s bankruptcy. It was a disaster for the taxpayer to be sure, a bunch of green daydreaming which apparently led the DOE to overextend on a bad risk. But it wasn’t a legal issue.
