The phony solyndra scandal


well, since new developments in the phony solyndra scandal are coming out each and every day now, I think it's high time this phony solyndra scandal got its own thread.

For those ignorant libtoids who constantly bitch about staying on topic when I bring up the phony solyndra scandal in other threads I just want them to know that IN THIS THREAD ..The phony solyndra scandal IS THE TOPIC

Now that we're clear on that let's see if they have the balls to come in here and heed their own advice.

Especially the ones who used to whine and cry about Halliburton

unless they're too preoccupied with Sarah Palins emails

SO, What better way to start the thread than with this gem.

Treasury official hasn't seen loan like Solyndra
Washington Examiner, by Philip Klein


A top U.S. Treasury official has testified that never before in his 28 years at the department had a loan guarantee been restructured so that private investors could leapfrog over taxpayers to be repaid in a bankruptcy situation. At least, not before bankrupt solar panel manufacturer Solyndra.

Gary Bruner, who said he had been at the Treasury Department for 28 years, including five in his current position as the chief financial officer at the department's Federal Financing Bank, made the revelation under questioning from Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce committee's oversight panel.

The committee is holding a hearing on the Treasury Department's involvement (or lack thereof) in restructuring of the $535 million loan guarantee made to Solyndra to put private investors in front of the line -- a crucial decision that meant taxpayers would have to absorb the brunt of Solyndra's losses when it defaulted.

You can see video of his testimony below.

White House won’t turn over Obama’s
BlackBerry messages on Solyndra

Politico, by Darren Samuelsohn



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

Solyndra won’t talk about its contracts
Washington Times, by Jim McElhatton


Officials at failed solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC refused to discuss the company’s contracts at a private meeting last month with a bankruptcy analyst for the Justice Department, fueling the push to have a trustee take over the failed company during its bankruptcy, records show.

Bankruptcy analyst Jeffrey Heck of the U.S. Office of the Trustee, an arm of the Justice Department that oversees bankruptcy cases, said that during a routine interview not long after Solyndra filed for bankruptcy last month, Solyndra officials suggested he “move on” when he asked about its contracts, according to an affidavit filed Friday by Mr. Heck in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.

U.S. taxpayers stand to lose out on more than a half-billion dollars in government loans issued to Solyndra before it went bankrupt.

The Office of the Trustee wants a trustee appointed to oversee the company during its bankruptcy. Such appointments are rare and often occur when there is evidence of fraud or mismanagement. A judge will hear both sides on the motion Monday, but it’s unclear whether a decision will immediately follow.

Judge denies bid by government
for Solyndra trustee

Washington Times, by Jim McElhatton


WILMINGTON, Del. — Customer contracts figure prominently in the FBI’s criminal investigation of solar panel maker Solyndra LLC, which went bankrupt despite receipt of more than a half-billion dollars in federal loans, according to testimony on Monday.

A top company official testified in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware that the FBI’s search warrant affidavit specifically sought information about company contracts.

The official, Ben Schwartz, a vice president and lawyer at Solyndra, was testifying because the U.S. Office of the Trustee said he had refused to answer questions about contracts. His refusal, government lawyers argued, proved that a trustee should be appointed to take over the company.

But U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Mary F. Walrath refused, saying there was no indication of any fraud or mismanagement at the company

Solyndra and the IRS
National Review Online, by Lou Dolinar


In November of 2009, in the midst of Solyndra’s downward financial spiral, the Internal Revenue Service issued a ruling that granted special tax favors to the firm and its customers.

The “private letter” ruling involving Solyndra, though widely discussed among tax lawyers, commented upon within the solar-power community, and even flaunted by Solyndra itself, has received little attention in the mainstream media. A former IRS official told National Review that the ruling raises a red flag about political interference in the tax system.
The source, who was not directly involved in the case, says that politicians have increased their lobbying for private-letter rulings on behalf of individual taxpayers ever since the Democrats took over Congress in 2007. Congressional investigators of the Solyndra scandal say they are aware of the tax angle, but have not had time to delve into it, as they are too busy unsnarling the specifics of the controversial $535 million loan to the company, as well as billions in similar loans to other companies.

Pelosi once said She's Running Most Ethical Congress Ever while DUMBO syas his administration is The Most Transparent.

Busted: DOE Altered
Solyndra-Related Documents

National Review Online, by Andrew Stiles


It appears as though the Obama administration has been caught red-handed trying to cover up evidence in relation to the “green” loans programs that helped finance Solyndra. CNBC reports that a number of press releases posted by the Department of Energy have been retroactively altered to remove the name a solar company thought by many to be the next “green” failure:

The changes occurred in two press releases from the Department of Energy’s loan guarantee program — the same program that has been the center of controversy surrounding the failed solar company Solyndra.

Both were changed to remove the name of a company that has received negative press attention in recent days, SunPower, and replace it with the name of another company, NRG Energy.

In the April case, the Department of Energy loan programs office announced in a press release on April 12 “conditional commitment” to a $1.187 billion loan guarantee to support the California Valley Solar Ranch project, which it said was “sponsored by SunPower Corporation.”

But that release was later changed on one website to say the project was “sponsored by NRG Energy.” The date on the release remained “April 12, 2011.”


The name substitution is not completely random. NRG recently finalized its acquisition of the California Valley Solar Ranch project from SunPower in September. However, at the time of the press release in April, SunPower still controlled the project.

Naturally, the DOE blames ‘outside contractors,’ who “inadvertently” altered the news bulletins while updating the loans program website.

Either way, what possible motivation could DOE have to making the changes? Well, here’s a possibility:

Are there any people in this administration that can tell the truth?

Holding Obama accountable on Solyndra
Washington Examiner, by Conn Carroll


Politico's Darren Samuelsohn posted a smart piece over the weekend noting that while the Obama administration may have broken the law when they subordinated taxpayers to Solyndra investors last December, there is not much anybody could do about in court: Unlike laws such as the Clean Air Act, which allows citizens to sue the EPA for possible violations, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that created DOE's loan guarantee program doesn't provide a similar outlet for someone who claims a law was broken...."Although there's language in the EPACT as I understand it to prevent subordination of

Beacon Power bankrupt; had U.S. backing like Solyndra
Reuters, by Tom Hals


Beacon Power Corp filed for bankruptcy on Sunday just a year after the energy storage company received a $43 million loan guarantee from a controversial U.S. Department of Energy program. The move comes about two months after solar panel maker Solyndra also filed for bankruptcy, setting off criticism of the government loan program. The department guaranteed $535 million in loans to Solyndra, and Congress is investigating whether political influence played a role. Beacon Power used the government-guaranteed-loan to build a 20-megawatt flywheel energy storage plant in Stephentown, New York

Solyndra Execs Leave With Cash. Yours.
Power Line, by John Hinderaker


At The Corner, Andrew Stiles notes a report from Green Technology that Solyndra’s executives substantial bonuses shortly before their company declared bankruptcy, having run out of your money. The taxpayers likely will be stuck with a $530 million bill. Here is where some of it went:

Karen Alter, senior vice president of marketing, received two $55,000 bonuses on April 15 and July 8 of this year, on top of her $250,000 annual salary.

If it weren’t our money, this would almost be funny: how can you award someone in charge of marketing $110,000 in bonuses when the company wasn’t making enough sales to stay out of bankruptcy? Ms. Alter’s recent political contributions, according to Open Secrets:

Dem compares GOP to 'birthers'
for issuing Solyndra subpoena

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Ben Geman


Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) is comparing Republicans who voted to subpoena the White House for Solyndra documents to critics of President Obama who allege he wasn’t born in the United States. Schakowsky was among a parade of Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats who slammed the subpoena vote Thursday, calling it a political attack that ignores White House efforts to work with the committee on its request for documents. “I doubt that anything the White House would have agreed to yesterday would have been sufficient.

Solyndra Emails Claim Biden's
Staff 'About Had an Orgasm' About
Energy Loans to Firm

Fox News, by Chad Pergram


A series of emails provided to the House Energy and Commerce Committee from individuals tied to Solyndra offer striking characterizations about running strategy with the White House to secure assistance for the now-bankrupt solar energy firm.

Emails among George Kaiser, head of the George Kaiser Family Foundation; Ken Levit, the executive director of the Foundation; and Steve Mitchell, who manages Argonaut Private Equity and was a member of Solyndra's board; show that Vice President Joe Biden's office were very gung-ho.

"They about had an orgasm in Biden's office when we mentioned Solyndra," reads a Feb. 27, 2010, email from Levit to Mitchell. A follow-up email from Mitchell to Levit later that day responds with: "That's awesome! Get us a (Department of Energy) loan."
