Morning Joe Sloughs Off Solyndra: 'No There, There'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/23/2011 6:45:39 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What a curiously incurious Morning Joe bunch! Joe Scarborough says Solyndra "is just not a story I have focused on" and John Heilemann similarly admits to not having "drilled down" on the matter. Meanwhile, Harold Ford, Jr. assures us that when it comes to any potential Solyndra scandal, "there's no there, there" and that no one "has done anything illicit here at all."

A blasé Joe Scarborough grudgingly introduced "this Solyndra thing," citing those pesky "conservatives on Twitter" who keep raising it. The show deigned to devote under two minutes to the story, with nary a mention of the facts that the main driver behind Solyndra was a major Obama fundraiser and that the Bush admin blew off funding for Solyndra after concluding their products weren't competitive.

right above that article from the lefty politico is a banner reading Barack Obama 2012 join him.

You just can’t make this up .

Now the left will say such crap as “well look what Bush did”
or “obama never knew”

This is not THE ONLY CORRUPTION WE HAVE HAD FROM ZERO AND HIS ADMIN.
Not paying taxes
letting black racists go after they were outside a voting booth intimidating and caught on camera
fast and furious
The general who said his was told to change his statement
the list is endless and then there is the usual of unemployment,losing houses, debt, promises broken etc

And yet the dopes on the fringe left still support this man, even many Jews who have seen him against Israel or the black community even though they have been hit hardest under zero.

Zero, LOL no wonder he is called that, zero brains, zero jobs

And I’m absolutely sure Joe said the same thing about Enron. Which didn’t cost taxpayers $535 million.

It's either illicit activity or extremely stupid and incompetent activity...

The White Hut people are extremely confident on this.

I hope all of you realize that the FBI has locked up, burned or shredded anything incriminating. Scarborough and Ford are right, there's "No there there."

Do you really think the name "Solyndra" would have appeard in any headlines in the Washington Post, LA Times, any Approved Propaganda wire story, or any network or cable network news story propaganda piece if Obama and his minions didn't really believe they had all the incriminating evidence locked up or destroyed?

All we can hope for is that they might have missed something, or left witness they didn't notice. I am not hopeful.

PS. This is not a ping list just my "FReply all" button. There's a script for that.

This is so Clintonesque. It's like saying “There is not one shred of evidence” which is code for “We shredded all the evidence”.

Well, I think the FBI is involved so that the Solyndra people will feel intimidated and take the Fifth Amendment. Because at the very least Obama and his Obots were VERY STUPID loaning a HALF BILLION DOLLARS to a company that was about to go flop. Because, when you take bankruptcy, you have to cough up all your financial information stuff and there is a public meeting where people can ask you questions about stuff. Sooo, the numbers are going to come out one way or the another.

PLUS, the banks and creditors have financial information. I bet there are even financial statements on places like the credit bureau and Dun and Bradstreet type stuff. AND, the bankruptcy stuff is public information so people can get a copy of the schedules if they want.

You think GE’s (the parent of MSNBC) involvement in the green energy programs had anything to do with Smoes response?

Remember when Clinton was nailed committing a series of serious crimes and the elite chose his sexual activity to focus upon while they ignored the rest?

That is what is going on here. They picked this crime with Solyndra to highlight while they ignore the DOJ gun running to the Mexican Cartels. Cute.
