The banking executive who led the “independent” probe that absolved the Obama Administration for blowing billions of taxpayer dollars on failed green-energy ventures has donated big bucks to the president’s reelection campaign.
This certainly raises doubts about the integrity of the investigation, which centered on nearly $3 billion in loans that the Obama Department of Energy (DOE) doled out for experimental alternative energy projects. Among them was a fly-by-night California company (Solyndra)—bankrolled by Obama fundraiser George Kaiser—that swallowed more than half a billion dollars before going bankrupt.
Earlier this year a federal audit confirmed that “serious concerns” expressed by U.S. Treasury officials involving the risky $535 million Solyndra infusion were ignored as the deal was fast-tracked by top White House officials.
