A firm funding the car company founded by Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe has claimed on its website for months that its MyCar electric vehicle had been approved by the Defense Department “for U.S. military installations worldwide” — but government officials say they have no record of such an approval. The Washington Times searched a database of companies and contractors with business before the federal government and found no mentions of GreenTech Automotive or its MyCar two-seat vehicle. Government officials, too, found no evidence that GreenTech had been approved by the Defense Department to be a listed supplier for military installations.
Gulf Coast Funds Management LLC, which helps secure foreign investments in exchange for visas for GreenTech — its only listed client — had been making the claim on its website since earlier this year but quietly removed it last week after an inquiry from The Times.

Just a small “resume enhancer” what’s the big deal?
Ya know, Smegmalips Obamadork has some advantages.
It used to be that when one came from the government, you could safely believe around 50% of what they said. The problem was that you had to determine which 50% to believe.
However, with folks associated with Smegmalips, you can safely believe exactly 0% of what they said.
Determination problem solved and time saved.
Another fraud, snake oil democrate scheme, going viciously, sadistically and savagely unpunished. They are no different than primitive looters and rioters without an ounce of patience but tyranny and brutalization of more legit business, trying to fit others to themselves instead of understanding science and respecting it.
Virginia ping!
ping
This is the extention of scientific fraud of pseudoscience liberal institutes of perversion, destruction, pain and globalist warming bull crap.
Search You Tube for a short film called Fast Terry... Pretty much nails the carpet bagger for what he is..
Just another “princification” of democrate fraud, GOP approved and “let go” behavior gone crazy, much like Obama or Global warming or the media princifies thugs and murderers like Stalin, Mao and even Hitler. Meanwhile the voters love the parties on their joked out faces in corrupt funfun “french” DC.
Carpet baggers with sorros hypocrite snake oil salesmen. Funny Sorros talks about no “laissez faire” when his fraud and hate is facilitated by the GOp’s inaction and let go attitude of active spoiling of his fantasies.
I’d say go ahead, let us let these biblically juveline do what they do and see where it leads us in terms of general ruination and frustration. The punishment will be harsher and more just through God than us. Meanwhile cooler heads will reorganize gladly without their blessings but perhaps their cursing us as such.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the green car company founded by Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe over concerns that it allegedly guaranteed returns for its investors. The SEC has subpoenaed the bank records of GreenTech’s funding arm, the McLean-based financing company Gulf Coast Funds Management, LLC.
Documents attached to a July 31 letter from Sen. Charles E. Grassley also raise more questions on the extent of the interaction between officials at the two companies and Alejandro Mayorkas, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
DHS is investigating whether Mr. Mayorkas assisted in approving an investor visa application submitted by Gulf Coast, even after the application was denied and an appeal was rejected. Mr. Mayorkas, President Obama’s pick to be the next No. 2 at DHS, testified last week that the extent of his interaction with Mr. McAuliffe was one meeting in which he heard his complaints about investor visas being held up.
Mr. Grassley said it went further than that. “Contrary to the impression left by your answer, documents indicate that both before and after that meeting, you actually engaged in nearly a dozen contacts with Gulf Coast Funds Management between 2010 and 2013, including direct communications with Gulf Coast’s attorneys,” the Iowa Republican wrote to Mr. Mayorkas. “That one meeting with Mr. McAuliffe was clearly not the extent of your interaction on that matter.”
Officials at the two companies and did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday. A spokesman for the McAuliffe campaign noted that Mr. McAuliffe left GreenTech in 2012 and that he has no knowledge of any investigation. News of the SEC investigation was first reported Friday by The Washington Post. The documents include forwarded e-mails from Mr. McAuliffe to Douglas Smith, an official in DHS’s office of the Private Sector, that were forwarded to Mr. Mayorkas and an e-mail from Mr. Mayorkas himself saying that face-to-face meetings for particular cases are not appropriate.”As the Director of this Agency, I do not adjudicate cases and am not the proper audience for a telephone call or a meeting about a particular case,” he wrote to Gulf Coast’s general counsel earlier this year. “I will forward your e-mail to the appropriate individual in the Agency.”
USCIS handles cases involved in the EB-5 program, where foreign investors put up between $500,000 and $1 million for American companies in exchange for legal status.
Government attorneys wrote that such a meeting would violate the Administrative Procedures Act. “I think it also raises an impartiality issue if we entertain pre-decisional meetings of this sort with particular applicants and petitioners,” USCIS’s Ethics Officer wrote. “It is not a concern to have meetings with particular industries, trade groups, bar associations, etc., on systemic issues that are not case specific, so long as we are willing to meet with all.”
Gulf Coast is run by Anthony Rodham, the brother of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and is the finance arm of GreenTech Automotive Inc. Mr. McAuliffe founded GreenTech in 2009 and quietly stepped down as chairman in December — a fact only revealed in April in response to an inquiry from a Politico reporter.

Well our history as a country is replete with selfish, ass-jackery in politics since the beginning. The interesting thing now being in the shift from the industrial age to the information age will be how the populace reacts to all of the public information that used to be “backroom” only information or exclusively detained by the piss stream media. Big ones are the Lewinski affair, with out the internet that would have been quashed, the silk pony, Edwards love child was known by the LA Times for 8 months before the “internet” reviled it! The Benghazi, IRS, FEC, and NSA stories are all things that would never be in the public realm 30 years ago... unless the gate keepers wanted it... Not now, the game is changing and I suspect in 10 years the Fed Gov, Universities, State Gov, Airlines and such things will be shells of there current congfigurations. People will only tolerate so much crap. The question is: will it be methodical or choatic, peaceful or an orgy of violence?
Maybe it was “deemed” done.
Terry McAuliffe wears his jackassery like a badge of honor.
He’s tight with the Clintons and lookin’ forward to Jan 2017.
Of course 6 yrs ago he was thinking the same thing about Jan 2009.
Then some buy named Baraq Hussein came along and stole the kiskha.....
I worked off Blythe Rd, Lake Cormorant MS for a few years... not a lot going on outside of Horn Lake and Tunica.... lots of soy beans...
