The scandal that the Repugs are ginning up may be questionable, but there is a Solyndra scandal nonetheless. They burned through nearly $600 million from the feds and the state of California in just a couple of years, and took in very little money in sales. There was apparently no realistic business plan. Government bureaucrats advised against making these loans, but were overruled. Why?
The author of this article is saying that we shouldn’t expect Solyndra execs to answer questions about what happened. OK, maybe not in a GOP kangaroo court, but they have to answer at some point.
I think Fioré explains it very well:

A mere distraction.
