"Flanked by their private criminal attorneys," Solyndra CEO and CFO took the 5th for every question asked them Friday.
9/23/11, Rep. Barton: "I want to ask Mr. Harrison (Solyndra Pres.) if he thinks the American people who invested over half a billion dollars deserve to know what happened to that money?"
Solyndra Pres. and CEO Brian Harrison: Begins saying he'd like to help then invokes the 5th.
Asked the same question by Rep. Barton:
Solyndra Sr. Vice President & Chief Financial Officer W.G. (Bill) Stover, Jr.: Invokes the 5th.

9/23/11, "Solyndra executives invoke the Fifth Amendment at Congressional hearing," Mercury News, Dana Hull
"Harrison and Stover were flanked at the hearing by their private criminal attorneys, who advised their clients to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights and not testify due to an ongoing criminal investigation by the Department of Justice. Solyndra filed for bankruptcy Sept. 6 and its
offices were raided by the FBI two days later.
"While I hope to have an opportunity to assist this committee in the future, on the advice of my attorney, I must respectfully decline to answer any questions," Harrison told Stearns, who oversaw the House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing."...
