Million dollars and long guarantees a production plant and jobs in Finland.

Also the ongoing investigation in -- under -- the polar.

The solar panel companies that file for bankruptcy receiving more than a half billion dollars in federal long guarantees.

The White House under investigation to find out who knew -- was in deep trouble.

And -- and details continue to trickle out.

About the -- gun running operation.

Fast and furious that resulted in the deaths of dozens of people.

Congressional investigators now want to know what the FBI.

Knows about the operation after -- almost ten month investigation.

Thousands of firearms.

Moved across the US Mexico border those firearms later found abuse.

In the murder of 200 Mexican citizens and US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry joining me now for his reaction to the latest.

Administration scandal is congressman Paul goes -- of Arizona member of the house oversight committee congressman great to have you here.

We've got a lot to talk about sorry if I may look -- let's start with this latest development.

-- that this her and help plant in Finland and suddenly there is free federal money.

-- to do with apparently as they wish.

That's exactly right Lou what we have is an underperforming car that actually produced in Finland.

We have better technology already here so why -- reinvesting over in Finland with half half a billion dollars on this doesn't make sense.

We've got the technology here we should be investing in in the year.

End and that is going to be and others.

Investigations a lender of SunPower.

Now -- you're the the list is building seems almost daily.

Are against the against the what is in stark contrast a very deadly.

Tragic.

Operation carried out by the Obama Justice Department and alcohol tobacco and firearms bureau.

Fast and furious in this is becoming a nightmare not only for the Obama administration -- for.

While all of us who care about this country and what our government does.

Are you moving any closer to to lifting the veil on -- actually happened here in the Justice Department itself.

Well that's what the letter was today Lou is to -- to the FBI.

To get some more clarification in getting some materials to come forward.

The contradicts earlier statements in regards to the weapons that were used in confiscated in the the death of officer Terry.

He originally the FBI had stated that down.

They were not used in in the death of officer Terry but now information to surface that it's actually inconclusive so.

We need to have more clarification in understanding who is responsible for this this operation worded it life.

Making sure that it never happens again and the making sure that those would allow this to occurred are brought to justice.

Congress some congressman -- senator Grassley.

I have I have moved toward this investigation.

But -- sort of the beginning of the year right after the the murder.

-- of Bryan -- the US Border Patrol agent.

Need this has been made an administration if they are not stonewalling.

They are being awfully stubborn.

In their sharing of facts are with you and with your committee I don't understand why.

There's not a greater cooperation I would think this administration would want to reveal that the American people the truth about what happened and why.

You're exactly right this is the president and administration that promised transparency and we're getting nothing of that.

I'm from the earlier aspects of -- lender to you know the karma card -- and Finland.

And to this tragic episode in fast and furious.

They need to come forward on this and it's not going to get any better because the more and more people who find out about this the more and more they're demanding they had these answers.

So I guess we could do it now or we could do it in the middle of an election year next year.

It it do you think it's going to last that long to is that the indication you're getting from the Justice Department the White House that they're simply going to stonewalled our way through this.

Well I think they can try to stonewalled -- themselves but there are you know there are casualties along the border you know along the board here as they've gone up.

And days they know they've retracted ATF they tried to blame ATF.

But when people start putting this together with particular with the Mexican people who have lost their lives and not leaving and involving -- the Mexican government Lou.

And then to to take away and throw all aspects of how we do investigative vol law enforcement sort out the window and grind it up.

People are outraged and that I think that's gonna crescendo and I think that it be whose administration -- say it set forth the parameters of a being.

Truthful about what they're hiding.

Because the operation.

If we didn't know anything about it is even worse because that means that we allowed a renegade vigilante group of ATF agents to go out there and do this on their own.

It's -- shows incompetence or knowingly neglect full for how they do.

We have to have accountability and that means that mr.

holder has to go.

Congressman we thank you for being with us congressman Paul goes -- -- -- -- --
