>>> neither they, nor anyone else connected with Solyndra, have done anything remotely criminal. This former federal prosecutor makes a strong case that this deal was FRAUD. This is not just going away because liberal media personalities think it should. Uh..........neither you nor Mr. McCarthy are attorneys.......just wingers spinning your partisan BS......as usual. Why don't you hacks let the courts decide what fraud was committed and stick to your day jobs.

Why so much pressure to give half a billion dollars to a doomed venture? The administration insists it had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Solyndra’s big backers include the George Kaiser Family Foundation. No, of course not. George Kaiser, an Oklahoma oil magnate, just happens to be a major Obama fundraiser who bundled oodles in contributions for the president’s 2008 campaign. Solyndra officers and investors are said to have visited the White House no fewer than 20 times while the loan guarantee was being considered and, later, revised. Kaiser, too, made several visits — but not to worry: Both he and administration officials deny any impropriety. You’re to believe that the White House was just turning up the heat on OMB and DOE because Solyndra seemed like such a swell investment.
