Let’s take a look at a small part of the new revelations:
The Feinstein Connection:
Campaign funding from DOE ATVM & LGP “WINNERS” was routed to State Senators who “greased the skids”.
Here is another cozy, intimate scene (photo below) at Dianne Feinstein’s House with Elon Musk. Many intimate times spent with Musk, Jurvetson, Doerr and Draper, (Who all got the DOE taxpayer $$$) and who then funded her campaigns:
Matt Rogers is Dianne Feinstein’s and Richard Blum’s Buddy. Even after being warned that Solyndra was a dead/bad bet, Chu and Rogers ordered Solyndra to get the money because “the skim” off the top of the money was already promised to Feinstein, Goldman and the VC’s.:

The State TAX Department Special Piggy Bank Connection & Tax Targeting (Like the IRS hits in DC):
TAX and EPA Waivers served as a PIGGY BANK FOR CAMPAIGN FINANCIERS.
California Board of Equalization member Paul B. Carpenter (D) was found guilty of 11 counts of obstruction of justice and money laundering.
Orange County County Assessor Andrew J. Hinshaw (R) was convicted of accepting bribes while Assessor of Orange County. he was serving in the US Congress at the time of his conviction. He served one year in prison.
Bill Lockyers special deal with Tesla. Only CAMPAIGN BACKERS got these tax give-aways, waivers and credits. Non-Campaign backer companies, who qualified for them, were still turned down, or stone-walled, to protect the insider crony companies.

The Terminator, Silicon Valley VC’s & the Russian Lithium Mobsters
Arnold Schwarzenegger took California campaign backer VC’s from Silicon Valley to meet Russian mobsters he met while making his Russian movie over a decade ago. The Silicon Valley VC’s were involved in pushing for the invasion of Afghanistan in order to arrange a TRILLION DOLLAR Lithium and Indium mining deal for Tesla, Fisker, Abound and Solyndra from the ore in Afghanistan that they made deals for with the Russian oligarchs who owned the mining companies. Gary Connely of Sol-Focus was said to have been killed over his revelation of this.
In the following video the Afghani-Scam deal is exposed. It turns out the lithium they were going to take over explodes spontaneously, causes fires, and burns cancer-causing smoke: Bummer!

The “Open Grant Program” Piggy Bank that was not so open:
It turned out to be very ironic that California “grant winners” were exactly equal to the amount of campaign financing and lobbyists bribes they paid out. If you did not pay the pig, you got no bacon!

The EPA “look-the-other-way” fix:
Some of the most toxic chemicals were pouring into the State and being made even more toxic by some “winners” of Department of Energy Money. The California environmental agency people were crunching bones and levying big fines for companies that were caught.. EXCEPT for the DOE “winners” who also happened to be huge campaign financiers.. for them, not so much! Tesla, Solyndra, Abound, and many, many more were some of the most toxic terrors yet regulators stayed away from them.

The “Upstanding-State-Leaders-Don’t-Actually-Do-Crimes” Fallacy:
It almost seems like running for office in Nevada, Michigan, Illinois and Washington is simply a public statement that you are a criminal. But the happy-go-lucky sunshine state has usually been ignored as a “cesspool of political corruption”… not any more:
Senator Leland Yee Arrested for organized crime and gun-running.
State Senator Roderick Wright (D) convicted of 8 counts of voter fraud.
Mayor of San Diego Bob Filner (D) given three months of house arrest, three years probation, and partial loss of his mayoral pension after pleading guilty to state charges of false imprisonment and battery.
State Senator Roy Ashburn (R) of Bakersfield was arrested on two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol. He was sentenced to two days in jail and three years probation.
Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco for in-office sexual affairs with best friends wives on the Mayor’s office desks.
The Director of the California Obamacare program: James Brown , Jr. was arrested for organized crime during the building of the Obamacare website.
Mayor of Inglewood Roosevelt F. Dorn (D) pleaded guilty on January 25, 2010, to a misdemeanor conflict-of-interest charge, He was placed on probation for two years, was fined $2,000 and was barred from ever holding public office again.
Member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from District 4 Ed Jew (D), was sentenced to 64 months in federal prison for extortion, and a year in county jail for perjury.
The FBI’s Bribery and Special Interest sting operation (BRISPEC, or “Shrimpscam”) targeted corruption in the California legislature. Five convictions were obtained. California Senator Alan Robbins (D) resigned in advance of pleading guilty to federal racketeering charges in connection with insurance-industry bribes.
California Senator Joseph B. Montoya (D) was convicted in April 1990 of rackeetering, extortion and money laundering and was sentenced to 61⁄2 years in prison.
California Senator Frank Hill (R) and his aid were found guilty of corruption and money laundering and sentenced to 46 months in prison.
California Board of Equalization member Paul B. Carpenter (D) was found guilty of 11 counts of obstruction of justice and money laundering.
California State Assemblyman Pat Nolan (R) served 29 months for bribery in the FBI’s BRISPEC sting operation.
Orange County County Assessor Andrew J. Hinshaw (R) was convicted of accepting bribes while Assessor of Orange County. He was serving in the US Congress at the time of his conviction. He served one year in prison.
Sen. Ronald S. Calderon of Montebello pleaded not guilty after his indictment on charges of bribery and money laundering.
And the list goes on, and on, and on…
Senior investigators say that a large number of top California officials remain under investigation and that additional indictments are expected. Very well known Senate names have been mentioned. None of these idiot politicians ever seem to learn that the “cover-up is always worse than the admission of the crime!”
