Rep. Jim Renacci asks whether Treasury Department targeted conservative GM dealers
Has this been posted before? A new request to investigate the "Conservative bias of the closures?"

4 years later and not one investigative journalist has raised the question as to why this information is still shielded from The Freedom of Information Act. Speaks volumes about the mainstream media. Guess the Treasury Dept is still sticking to the "ongoing investigation" b.s.

Rep. Jim Renacci asks whether Treasury Department targeted conservative GM dealers
Also Rep. Mike Kelly from PA signed on
http://www.cleveland.com/open/index....whether_t.html I dont know how I can upload a sound file but a caller into a radio show brought this point up the other day. He said we were profitable (I don't know how he saw every financial record since the 60's but he was 100% correct on that) and that dealers were picked on. I just think back to the shared sacrifice our prez alluded to. We could have left the dealers or bondholders alone but everyone gets an equal haircut.

certainly cant speak to politically motivated closings, but i can speak to listening to our chrysler financial rep telling me in the month before the closings, he had seen the list being passed around the b.c. of the folks they were going to axe. they had a one time gift from the current administration to dump whomever they didnt like and it was totally vendetta driven. heard the same story from current and former field personell. disgusting!!

I've combined four posts from the "Another year has passed" thread to this thread since they pertain to the same issue regarding the question of whether the OLDCO terminations were politically motivated.
Once I get a chance to read the linked reports I'll add my thoughts to this thread. |

While it's nice to believe there might be an investigation into the OLDCO terminations we've already been down the path of "false-hope" many times before and I don't see how this journey will be any different. |
