If these Solyndra execs testify, it puts them in criminal jeopardy. If they don’t testify, it puts Obama in political jeopardy.

They are either protecting Obama or have been threatened by Obama if they talk. Don’t know which.
I remember him saying that Clinton enraged some people so much that they called him “thatsonofabitch”.
I laughed my buttocks off because my wife's sweet grandmother called him EXACTLY that - said in just that fashion!

Oh, I doubt it.
It will just be a replay of the arrogant phalanx of closed-mouth lawyer pricks that resulted in no charges against the criminal scum infesting the Clinton White House.
