The White House is strongly rebuffing a subpoena from House Republicans seeking all communications about a failed solar panel manufacturer that received a half-billion dollar federal loan guarantee.
In a letter to two top Republicans on the House energy panel, White House Counsel Kathy Ruemmler says partisan politics is driving the request.
The White House has already turned over 85,000 pages of documents on Solyndra. The company filed for bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers after receiving $528 million in federal backing.
Ruemmler said those documents show no wrongdoing or political favoritism by the administration.
House Republicans have used Solyndra to highlight what they see as President Barack Obama’s failure to create jobs.
On Thursday, the panel voted on party lines to issue the subpoena, calling the White House “obstructionist.”

That sort of thing is going to happen when a political party turns into a criminal organization.
Just more of Obozo’s “transparency” on display. What a lying sack of sh!t.
Aren’t liberals the ones that say ‘if you don’t have anything to hide you don’t have anything to worry about’ as they burn the Constitution and Bill of Rights?
Are you all nuts???? You can’t subpoena a marxist dictator!
Typical Food Stamp President response. Send over tons of nonsense and hide the incriminating documents. If there was nothing wrong, they would happily send it all over but they are not, which indicates that they are hiding a lot.
There’s conceivably a huge portion of that half billion now sitting in Zer0’s coffers....Issa has GOT to get more blood on his teeth.
I guess if I ever get subpeoned I can just refuse. Heck if the president can I can too
Not to mention the 500 million of tax payer money.
John Corzine has the FBI investigating him for investing hundreds of millions in Private funds in risky projects,so tell me what is the difference with What Obama is doing.
He is investing BILLIONS of tax payer dollars in risky projects and he doesnt have to explain?
Based on what I heard Rep. Stearns discuss with Hannity, they have both the redacted and unredacted version of some memos. I suspect a special prosecutor would have a field day with the abuse of the redaction process. Jail time should be in the cards for several of the players.
