Obama Fights Solyndra Subpoena - Solyndra - Fox Nation



The White House on Friday all but refused to turn over the documents House Republicans have subpoenaed on bankrupt solar firm Solyndra, firing off a letter saying the request would put an "unreasonable burden on the president's ability to meet his constitutional duties."

The feisty response appears to set up a clash between congressional investigators and the White House over the sprawling probe into Solyndra's finances and the administration's involvement in the decision to provide the struggling company a $528 million loan with taxpayer money.

White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, in her letter, scolded GOP lawmakers for demanding more documents, noting the Obama administration has already turned over 85,000 pages of documents in the course of their investigation. Without explicitly refusing to comply with the subpoena, Ruemmler repeatedly described the order as "overbroad."

"The Committee's extremely broad request for documents -- now a subpoena -- is a significant intrusion on Executive Branch interests," she wrote, saying she can only conclude the subpoena was "driven more by partisan politics than a legitimate effort to conduct a responsible investigation."

Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich. chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, questioned what the West Wing was trying to "hide" in a response late Friday.

"We have been reasonable every step of the way in this investigation, and it is a shame that the Obama administration and House Democrats continue to put up partisan roadblocks to hide the truth from taxpayers," he said. "Now, we need to know the White House's role in the Solyndra debacle in order to learn the full truth about why taxpayers now find themselves a half billion dollars in the hole. The White House could have avoided the need for subpoena authorizations if they had simply chosen to cooperate."

Though the White House has turned over thousands of documents, Republicans say the administration has not provided everything they've requested. The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted Thursday to subpoena, and the subpoenas went out late Thursday to the White House and office of the vice president

What else would you expect in Obama's new era of unprecedented transparency? Heck, these people wanted to codify lying, what makes you think he would ever agree to talk to Congress about Solyndra?

The only reason is he has even MORE involvement that suspected.

If there was nothing to hide he would simply release them without making abig deal of it drawing even MORE attention to it.

There was likely even bribes involved and not just political favors.


If thre was nothing to hide... simply releasing them would qiuet everything and it would simply go away. But its abundently obvious the White house is very much involved in this all the way to the top by this action.

Want a constitutional crisis ? Speaker Bonehead should direct the Sergeant at Arms of the House to take a contingent of the Capitol Police force to arrest anyone who violates a subpoena .

Frankly if I had your congress I'd be in contempt too, as I am just as comtemptous of my own

Except for the fact they have the force of law to demand that... Obama doesn't legally have the right to refuse it.
