WASHINGTON (KGO) -- Two top executives at bankrupt Solyndra have invoked their Fifth Amendment rights and refused to answer questions at a House hearing Friday.
The Solyndra executives have sent letters to the House Energy and Commerce committee, saying they will invoke their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.
They cite an ongoing criminal investigation by the FBI, which raided the Solyndra plant in Fremont earlier this month. That happened after the company declared bankruptcy, and defaulted on a $528 million government stimulus loan.
The House committee is investigating whether political influence from the Obama administration helped Solyndra get that loan.

And Bush can't be blamed for this one 'cause it was turned down under him and Obama pushed it through.

It was NOT turned down by Bush. To the contrary ....http://themoderatevoice.com/122532/solyndra-and-bush/

"January 2009: In an effort to show it has done something to support renewable energy, the Bush Administration tries to take Solyndra before a DOE credit review committee before President Obama is inaugurated. "

"What critics fail to mention is that the Solyndra deal is more than three years old, started under the Bush Administration, which tried to conditionally approve the loan right before Obama took office. Rather than "pushing funds out the door too quickly," the Obama Administration restructured the original loan when it came into office to further protect the taxpayers' investment."

No, but Bush is not blameless either.

  It is amazing how little comment you got on your information you presented.  It is also shows how little response you get from the Republican side of the debate.

  The action on the  Solyndra proposition started with George W. Bush.  Just like NAFTA started George H. W. Bush, George W. daddy.

  It is amazing how they the Republican Presidents can pass the buck.    The Republicans  are sure good at rewriting history.

And a damn fine job he did of restructuring.  Only cost us tax payers $5B.  Whata guy.     Bush in no way can be held responsible if Obama restructured the original loan terms now can he?  Talk about grasping at straws...

Nothing happened to Bush turning it down I was addressing Troll's post about it starting with Bush who turned it down.  If Bush turned it down then Obama brought it back up, restructured it, and then pushed it through it can in no way go back to Bush's fault.

The Energy Department's loan-guarantee program, enacted in 2005 with bipartisan support, has backed nearly $38 billion in loans for 40 projects around the country. Solyndra represents just 1.3 percent of that portfolio — and, as yet, it's the only loan that has soured. Other solar beneficiaries, such as SunPower and First Solar, are still going strong.

  Hell, that's peanuts to what little old George W. gave to Wall Street banks just before he left, stage right.

Uh, the democratic congress passed it and he signed it at the urging of Obama who had won the election.  If he hadn't signed it ya'll would be holdin' him against the wall for that so either way he went it was a losing situation.
