Big surprise there, no?
No?
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.”
Said “constitutional duties” apparently including throwing taxpayer funds around to his friends in gay abandon without having to once provide answers to questions about it. Not to mention that we’re having a hard time seeing how having a bunch of junior staffers run the Xeroxes for a few hours in order to comply with the subpoena is going to keep Dear Leader Golfsalot away from his regularly scheduled tee times.
“The Committee’s extremely broad request for documents — now a subpoena — is a significant intrusion on Executive Branch interests,” she wrote,
Only if the Executive Branch’s interests include avoiding accountability for their actions, which… Well thank you. You answered the question already.
saying she can only conclude the subpoena was “driven more by partisan politics than a legitimate effort to conduct a responsible investigation.”
Because as we all know, any “legitimate investigation” must limit itself to investigating only the data that the investigated party agrees can be investigated.
Try that if you ever find the law on your doorstep with a warrant. “Sure you can come in, but you can only look there, there and there. The backyard and under my bed are right out!”
The lawless Junta on 1600 Penn Ave is, quite obviously, continuing business as usual.
What this nation needs right now is another Eliot Ness. And maybe we should consider reopening Alcatraz for business once he’s done cleaning up DC.
Thatisall.
