What are they looking for? Are we sure Zero didn’t send the agents there, in retribution for something?

FYI..HOT AIR has a report that in addition to the US loan being very fast tracked, Solyndra interest rate was much, much lower than othe companies were charged...a very “sweetheart” deal..to be sure..

Bingo! The Feds are there to “uncover” corruption/deceipt/embezzlement/etc because a good ol’ honest bankruptcy is fatal anathema to the Obama “green jobs will save the American economy” meme. So, Solyndra is not “too big to fail”, it’s too ideologically important to fail on its own merits becuase, if so, it gives lie to the entire Obama/left worldview; there has to be some other reason why this sure-bet, 1/2B$$ investment of taxpayer funds was flushed down the toilet.

Maybe they were sent over by the White House to shred paperwork and wipe hard drives.

Federal agents are executing a search warrant this morning at the Solyndra in Fremont, according to a FBI spokeswoman.

It is part of a joint operation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Energy’ Office of Inspector General, according to Julianne Sohn, a spokeswoman for the FBI.

The action by federal agents comes a week after the solar panel manufacturer abruptly closed, laying off 1,100 workers.

Sohn would not comment on the purpose of the search or what they might be looking for.

“Everything is under seal,” she said.

there should be an evaluation of where all public monies went during the obama administration.

and then trials, and jail if necessary.

FBI task list:

“Grab ALL hard drives ASAP....”

“Set plant to self-destruct....”

My guess is they want to throw a big “can’t reveal that, it’s under investigation” blanket over anything that could make the White House look bad, at least until after Nov. 2012.

If it’s “under investigation”, they can hold back evidence from Congressional committees.

The person the FBI needs to be questioning is George Kaiser... are they...no.

The FBI is too busy selling guns and drugs to foreign terrorists.

The $535 million loan to Solyndra Inc., issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank, included a quarterly interest rate of 1.025 percent, the government bank reported in July. Of 18 Energy Department loans cited in the bank’s report, Solyndra’s rate was lowest. Eight other Energy Department projects, each also backed by the Federal Financing Bank, came with rates three or four times higher, the report shows.
