White House withholding Solyndra records, House energy committee says

Despite a subpoena, the White House is still withholding records related to the failed $535 million federal loan to Solyndra, Republican investigators from the House Energy and Commerce Committee said Thursday.

In a letter to White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler today, Republican committee Chairman Fred Upton and subcommittee chairman Cliff Stearns said the White House had not fully complied with the committee’s Nov. 3 subpoena for documents concerning the Solyndra loan.

“[D]ocuments already in the Committee’s possession clearly indicate that you have numerous other documents in your possession which are responsive to the subpoena, but which have not been produced,” the letter reads. “In order for the Committee to complete its investigation of the problems with the loan guarantee program and the related loss of taxpayer dollars, those documents must be produced to the Committee.”

The $535 million Department of Energy loan to Solyndra has been the target of intense public scrutiny and investigation by since the solar company declared bankruptcy on Aug. 31.

Does the House have the authority to issue an Obstruction of Justice charge the various administration entities, or personnel?

The first question through MY beady little mind when I saw the headline, was: How come Congress could get EVERYTHING they wanted from Nixon when they wanted it, including his RESIGNATION, and these pantywaists can’t get a few financial records?! To quote Cris Christy’s recent rant, “What the he!! are we paying you for?!”
