E-Mail Shows Senior Energy Official Pushed Solyndra Loan

A senior Energy Department official pushed hard for the government’s $535 million loan to the California solar energy company Solyndra even after he had disclosed that his wife’s law firm represented the company and promised to recuse himself from matters related to its loan application, according to e-mails released by federal officials on Friday.
Looting the taxpayers for fun and for profit.
