The Solyndra Scam continues to develop and Hot Air has the dropon the latest document dump from the White House. That’s Ed Morrissey’s headline up there. And this is all just another political cover up courtesy of the Democrat party.
The Obama administration pressured Solyndra to keep quiet about impending layoffs until after the November 2010 election and we have this nifty little paper trail to prove it.
- 10/25/2010 — Solyndra CEO writes to the DoE that he will announce worker layoffs on 10/28.
- 10/27/2010 — In the White House, climate change adviser Zichal sent out an e-mail to Obama adviser Browner and several other officials warning of a layoff announcement in very specific terms — “200 of their 1200 workers” — and added, “No es bueno,” which is Spanish for “not good.”
- 10/28/2010 — No announcement comes forth from Solyndra on layoffs.
- 10/30/2010 — Solyndra investor explains that the DoE “push[ed] very hard” for a delay on the announcement until November 3rd, the day after the election, even remarking that the DoE “oddly they didn’t give a reason for that date.”
So…spend buckets of other peoples money on failed left wing pipe dreams–even after you’ve been warned it will probably fail–then hide the failure to avoid paying the political price of your agenda.
