Then block all other bidders when that doesn't do the job. All for something we may not need and that costs 85x the existing vaccine.

The Obama administration urged officers of the struggling solar company Solyndra to postpone announcing planned layoffs until after the November 2010 midterm elections, newly released e-mails show.

...

Solyndra’s chief executive warned the Energy Department on Oct. 25, 2010, that he intended to announce worker layoffs Oct. 28. He said he was spurred by numerous calls from reporters and potential investors about rumors the firm was in financial trouble and was planning to lay off workers and close one of its two plants.

But in an Oct. 30, 2010, e-mail, advisers to Solyndra’s primary investor, Argonaut Equity, explain that the Energy Department had strongly urged the company to put off the layoff announcement until Nov. 3. The midterm elections were held Nov. 2, and led to Republicans taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“DOE continues to be cooperative and have indicated that they will fund the November draw on our loan (app. $40 million) but have not committed to December yet,” a Solyndra investor adviser wrote Oct. 30. “They did push very hard for us to hold our announcement of the consolidation to employees and vendors to Nov. 3rd – oddly they didn’t give a reason for that date.”

A group of House Republicans Tuesday called on Attorney General Eric Holder to immediately resign because of Operation Fast and Furious, saying he did not tell the truth about the controversial “gun-walking” program.

During a Capitol Hill press conference, several members — including Reps. Paul Gosar, Raul Labrador, Tim Huelskamp and Blake Farenthold — also said President Barack Obama should join in their demand that Holder quit.

Labrador, an Idaho Republican, said the attorney general should resign for his role in the controversial operation.

“Attorney General Eric Holder cannot avoid responsibility for his involvement with a government program that directly led to the tragic death of a decorated Border Patrol agent,” Labrador said. “As our nation’s top enforcer of the principles of law and justice, Mr. Holder has now lost credibility and should step down immediately.”

And the Republican members said they should no longer be the only ones putting pressure on Holder to resign — Obama must also take action.

I for one, am pretty shocked the corruption within the Fast and Furious case is this bad. I was told by a friend of the Terry family last week that after Brian Terry's death, his mother, Josephine Terry, along with other family members, were prohibited for weeks from entering Brian's home. Things here just aren't adding up. Considering the case was sealed by a federal judge, the file must have been stolen by someone on the inside.

Remember, U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke resigned on August 31, 2011. Burke's office was handling the case before it was moved to the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego on September 6, 2011, just days after Burke's resignation. Now, the case files for the prosecution, dripping with details about Brian Terry's murder, a result of the Obama Justice Department's Fast and Furious, has disappeared.

For the first ten minutes, the panel had a great old time cackling and crowing on the theme that the Republican presidential field is a mass of morons. They laughed at the mere mention of Herman Cain, likened the GOP field to a vaudeville show, dragged out the shopworn "bar in Star Wars" simile, and called the Republican candidates "jokes," "clowns" and "stupid." But then, 13 minutes in, Mika Brzezinski mentioned a story reporting that the Obama admin had suppressed the announcement of layoffs at Solyndra until after the 2010 elections. Despite Mika looking around the table at her guests as she wondered out loud "why this story hasn't picked up more," there wasn't a peep out of the quickly clammed-up crew and Brezinski breezed on to another topic.

Given that the Republican Party candidates for president basically all agree (when they can remember...) that the DOE should be abolished, it's probably not a big surprise that green energy executives donate to the Dem president!

But please, go on...

Hmmmmm

bigturtle is a joke. If you respond to him with serious conversation, you too are a joke. I hope people haven't actually wasted time reading through this whole thread.

Message boards exist for people like bigturtle, and his counterparts on the other side to take an extreme view and ramble on about crap that makes both sides of any issue look bad. He (and those on the left that do the same thing) are what is wrong with this country. Ignore it.

Oh hai, wondered where you were.

In this case the files being sealed is the same as disappeared.
What are the charges and on whom?
Im sure when charges are brought on one of your clients it is public record.
