John King USA, CNN weeknights 7 eastern.I wanna read from one of the email exchanges that has people curious and some people suspicious of whether the White House was trying to help the donor1. This is an email exchange August 31. The special assistant to the then chief of staff F.R noted2 the vice-president's announcement at Slendual, The vice-president was planning to go out for a trip, and ask whether quoted--there is anything we can help speed along on the OMB side. Essentially3 the chief of staff office is saying can we help speed the process up. But how was that any different? I bet your office from time to time has called whether this small business administration or the veterans administration to help a constituency and say, hey, the bureaucracy is bugged4 up, gummed up, speed this up.
Look, when you're looking at 535 million dollars, shouldn't someone be asking a question is this valuable or not, particularly when the administration itself said. You know, what, if this thing goes forward, they could be out of cash by September of 2011. That was two years, a year and a half before September, 2011 came about. Their own stuff that they had to show that this is not perhaps going to be a valuable company. Why then are they speeding forward, why are they going against what the law says in terms of restructuring to try and push this before the evidence is there. We've seen evidence that they knew that in fact it cost 6 dollars per panel and they were selling them for 3. Who makes money that way? The
taxpayer5 loses.
We've dealt with the politics question, but I just want to ask you clearly, cause people are watching us at home. You say you want to find out, you'll bring the witnesses, we speak today, you have zero evidence of any wrong doing, correct? You are just suspicious?
Well, we've got now, you know, we try to get the documentation earlier, we scheduled hearings and the administration
literally6 didn't show up. They promised this that they were going to provide documents, they never came. Finally, we resorted to the last resort, and that was a
subpoena7, and middle July, we served the subpoena the administration, it still took more than a month to get a lot of the stuff that was there. And as we're examining now a lot of the stuff that we finally got. We're now finding these emails that nobody knew about before, so we're going to see exactly where these taxes, how did this thing get approved, and how, who made the decision to restructure the loan, so that in fact, at the end of the day because they did go
belly8 up, in direct contradiction to the energy policy act of 2005. Did someone make the decision to put the taxpayer last instead of first when filled chapter 11.
