Report: Dept. of Energy brushed off warnings

This scandal is getting worse and worse for the Obama White House.

From The Politico:

Energy Department officials shrugged off calls to consult with the Justice Department before changing the terms of Solyndra’s loan in a way that put taxpayers on the hook first when the company later ran out of money, according to newly released Obama administration emails.

The advice came from Gary Burner, the chief financial officer at the Treasury Department’s Federal Financing Bank, who urged DOE staffers on Feb. 10 to contact DOJ as they considered restructuring the California solar company’s $535 million loan guarantee.

“Unless DOE has other authorities, these adjustments may require approval of the Department of Justice,” Burner wrote to Susan Richardson, chief counsel in DOE’s Loan Programs Office, and Frances Nwachuku, director of portfolio management in the same office.

“Let me know if you need the name of a contact at DOJ,” he added.

I advise you to go read the rest of that, as it looks like the more this story comes out, the more corrupt the Obama administration is looking.

They say Bush was corrupt, Bush could not hold a candle to this President.
