Feds Visit Homes of Solyndra CEO, Execs

[The Northerner]

Federal agents have expanded their examination of the now-bankrupt California solar power company Solyndra, visiting the homes of the company's CEO and two of its executives, examining computer files and documents, iWatch News and ABC News have learned.

Agents visited the homes of CEO Brian Harrison and company founder Chris Gronet and a former executive, according to a source who agreed to speak only on the condition of anonymity because of the legal sensitivity of the situation.

Gronet, reached at his home on Friday morning, did not dispute that his home was visited by federal agents a day earlier.

"I'm sorry," Gronet said, "you probably understand full well that I cannot comment." The third executive could not be immediately reached.

Solyndra spokesman David Miller confirmed agents visited Harrison's home on the same day the FBI and Energy Department Inspector General seized boxes of records from the company's headquarters.

1. The anti-Obama wingnuts love this news item.

But there is a 99% probability that the Feds are looking for evidence of embezzlement by the Solyndra execs.

2. Yeah, I was already directed to a piece at Reason Magazine

about it by a conservative family member. Silly me, I had to look up the word "Solyndra" 'cause I knew a little about the story but not the precise company name.

Silly me, 'fraid I don't get how this is Obama's fault.

But then, I don't get how the state of the entire economy is his fault either.
