"Energy Secretary Steven Chu to take the fall for Solyndra.

Secretary Chu will take full responsibility today for the governments decision to throw a half-billions worth of taxpayer money into a failing energy company, despite its own watchdogs recommendations (and the governments decision to pressure Solyndra into not reporting layoffs until after the 10 midterms) while at the same time insisting that nothing untoward occurred. In other words, Chu will not take any kind of responsibility at all.
But this is not about responsibility. This is merely the next step in the resignation game. Chu will be grilled today on this topic:
In advance of Thursdays hearing, investigators with the Republican led committee released the latest batch of internal emails it has reviewed. Among them were emails that suggested that Energy officials asked the company to delay layoffs at its California facility until after the Nov. 2 midterm elections.
The two congressmen leading the investigation, Reps. Fred Upton (Mich.) and Cliff Stearns (Fla.) released a statement saying they hope Chus testimony will shed light on key questions about the decision-making inside the Department of Energy and the role of other agencies and officials, from the Office of Management and Budget to the west wing of the White House.
Secretary Chu will then be expected to beat his breast a bit. Then the President will express his full confidence in his embattled Secretary, which will be the signal for Republicans to release still more damaging revelations on the subject. Shortly thereafter, Chu will announce his resignation, in order to spend more time with his family. End result: one Energy Secretary gone and a tarnished administration."
