“There’s ANOTHER one lost down the memory hole...”
Solyndra filed for bankruptcy in September 2011. At that time the House of Representatives was controlled by the Republican Party with a 242 to 193 majority under the leadership of Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. Republicans had swept to power in the 2010 election, thanks to the efforts of the populist Tea Party movement and the general dissatisfaction with many of the policies of Democrat President Barack Obama.
Under the Constitution appropriations and tax bills must originate in the House of Representatives so the Republicans had control of spending and taxation in 2021, plus the House had oversight subpoena power. The House spent 18 months investigating Solyndra. The hearings were hampered by difficulty getting documents from the administration, testimony from bureaucrats, and the mainstream press supporting the Democrat defense there was no improper action by the administration. A four year Department of Energy investigation determined Solyndra misrepresented facts and omitted key information in getting the $535 million government loan. No one was prosecuted.
