This from the WaPo? Maybe this story has legs.

Wow, I'm impressed that the (com)Post has this story.

The Won and his minions must be very confident that all the "smoking guns" are under lock and key at the FBI as part of an "ongoing active investigation," where nobody, not even Issa and his committee, will be able to find anything.

Rep. Henry A. Waxman (Calif.) and Rep. Diana DeGette (Colo.) — Democrats on the committee who had once defended the choice of Solyndra — last week also questioned whether they had been misled. In a letter, they wrote that Solyndra Chief Executive Brian Harrison “did not convey to us the perilous condition of the company, and the Committee should know why. ”

CYA operation in full effect, backing away from this as fast as their little legs can carry them.

The big donor guy gives Zero $53,500 and gets a $535,000,000 ‘loan’ for this Solyndra.

Seems to me, every Congressman/woman needs to ask for his/her cut per $1mm. If that hasn’t already occurred.

If Obama were a Republican, this story would be front page news everyday. There would already be an Independant Counsel appointed, and Senate Hearings being conducted.

The implications in this story are GLARINGLY obvious. At first glance, it looks like the president got a $500,000,00 loan approved for his political backers, and they subsequently “went broke” and declared bankruptcy.

WHERE IS THE FINE-HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS?

Per WaPo:

“The e-mails also raise questions about whether the administration should have foreseen financial trouble. In August 2009, e-mail exchanges between Energy Department staff members pointed out that a credit rating agency projected that the project would run out of cash in September 2011. Solyndra shut its doors on the final day of August.”

...And the auditor had already given a “going concern” opinion (the death penalty opinion) to the company _before_ the loan was approved.

This is really bad for Barry's team in the WH. OMB was actively prevented from performing “due diligence” (an accounting term of art) _requiring_ adequate time to be completed properly.

And Biden is sucked in too along with Rahm!

Cons always want their marks to rush into things.

[Mariner]

This is a CLASSIC example of a Fascist government picking winners and loser based EXCLUSIVELY on political considerations.

If we don't have a GOP POTUS candidate that can pick this up and make some serious hay, we are totally and completely screwed.

This is a very, very big deal.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Did y'all read the comments on the wapost page about this? Go check em out. There's only about 9 of them.

Most of them are that this is in some way Bush's fault or Repubs faults or Bush/Repubs are just as bad or worse.

They're stark raving mad.

[Junior_G]

This scandal is large enough that the MSM is actually gearing up to run with it. This could be very good.

[AndyTheBear]

Looking in my crystal ball to see what Obama is thinking about this...got it: "Hmmm, there has to be some way the Solyndra failure can be blamed on George W Bush or...even better...the Tea Party!"
