After the collapse of Solyndra, a solar company that received over $500,000,000 in loans from the Obama Administration, Republicans noted the unsettling amount of ties that the White House had with the defunct company.
Vice President Biden called on his advisers to hurry through the loan, President Obama toured the Solyndra plant in 2010, and the top executives of Solyndra donated heavily to then-candidate Obama in 2008. President Bush rejected loaning the company money, saying that it was too risky, and even President Obama's advisors told him in person that the half-a-billion-dollar loan was "not ready for prime time."
The Obama Administration has stated repeatedly that it did nothing wrong and would "not have changed" what he did if he had the chance. Mr. Obama has also said he has nothing to hide. And yet, today the Obama Administration rejected a subpoena on the Solyndra loan it pushed for, possibly confirming that the President does indeed have something to hide.
Kathryn H. Ruemmler, counsel to the president, stated officially that the rejection was because the subpoena was a "significant intrusion" into what the President has done in the White House. Her argument, in part, is that Congress has no need to know what Mr. Obama does or why.
She continued, "There is no basis for such a broad request beyond a 'vast fishing expedition.'"

But, but I thought when we won the House that we were going to get the truth out. This nation is a Banana Republic. The leftist do whatever they want & nobody will stop them.
The “fishing expedition” objection is the last refuge of a truly frightened counsel who can’t find anything else for protection. I love it!
So what does Congress do now, legally speaking?

The peoples business is none of our business.
Rejects?
I don’t think so.
Never have I seen more arrogance and disregard for the law than the current President exhibits in virtually everything he does. This Republic needs to shed itself of this carbuncle as quickly as possible.
Can you say ‘CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS’?................I knew you could.....................
They should start talkin' about Article II of the Constitution if they weren't all such a bunch of gutless cowards.
