Target GE: GOP Takes Aim At Companies On Obama’s Jobs Council

TPM reports:
House Republicans are no longer content to use the investigative powers of Congress to go after President Obama's healthcare overhaul by compelling Obama administration to cough up information and testify before their committees.

In recent weeks, the GOP has launched a dragnet for internal information from companies with ties to the White House about the healthcare law and its impact on business.

The move has Democrats crying foul and accusing Republicans of abusing their investigative authority to intimidate company executives who are cooperating with President Obama and serving on his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
