The poltroons in the White House didn't disappoint--there was a Friday news dump.
From The Hill:
The White House sent House Republicans more than 400 pages of additional internal Solyndra documents Friday amid a GOP contempt threat.The image-obsessed Obama administration once again plays the news cycle to dump bad news.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans had threatened earlier this month to pursue contempt charges against the White House if officials did not provide more documents in response to a November subpoena. They gave a Feb. 21 deadline for more documents.
The 463 pages of documents that were delivered to committee Republicans Friday consist largely of references to Solyndra in White House emails, and offer little new information about the loan guarantee.
The White House's top lawyers, in a letter to Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the documents offer no evidence that the 2009 approval of the $535 million Solyndra loan was influenced by politics.
