The sunlight continues to expose the machinations behind the White House’s support of failed solar panel manufacturer Solyndra with our tax dollars, including the false claim by former White House chief of staff.
In a batch of White House emails released in a report on Solyndra by the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday, there’s this gem: White House aide Aditya Kumar wrote to Jacob Levine of the Office of Energy and Climate Change on Aug. 19, 2009: “Feels like Rahm wants this too (barring any concerns) — POTUS (President Of The United States) Involvement (in pushing Solyndra) was Rahm’s idea.”
Of course, Emanuel, who helped bring the infamous “Chicago Way” of politics from the Windy City to the nation’s capitol, has long denied being a mover and shaker in the Solyndra affair.
