Overview
On October 25, 2022, Axios quoted Jim Barnette in a piece titled "Corporate America lawyers up in anticipation of GOP House." The article discusses Fortune 500 companies gearing up for the possibility of a Republican-controlled House by retaining major law firms with GOP relationships.
The current political landscape is reminiscent of 2010, when the GOP took control of the House. The GOP investigations that followed uncovered Solyndra, a company that went bankrupt after receiving $535 million in federal loan guarantees.
Barnette said in regards to this: "A year from now, there will be another household name — it's not going to be Solyndra — that is emblematic of the waste, fraud and abuse."
