The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency “button pusher” who sent a bogus missile alert that triggered panic across the islands on Jan. 13 is not cooperating with either a Federal Communications Commission investigation nor two internal investigations.
“We are quite pleased with the level of cooperation we have received from the leadership of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency thus far,” Lisa Fowlkes, the FCC’s Homeland Security Bureau chief, testified today at a Senate hearing on the missile alert incident. “We are disappointed, however, that one key employee, the person who transmitted the false alert, is refusing to cooperate with our investigation. We hope that person will reconsider.”
The FCC sent two investigators to Honolulu but got no cooperation from the HI-EMA employee, Fowlkes said.

These are the exact sorts of Hawaii democrat employees that worked so hard to prevent anyone seeing Hussein”s alleged birth certificate.
Very strange.......based on the above, it sounds like it may have been a planned move rather than an accident......
If it was just an accident there wouldn’t be any issues with cooperation.
I wuz just thinking along the same lines of connecting this to Bronco’s BC....
Its a juvenile Left’s maneuver to show everybody, “See! Look how dangerous Trump is to the country. This could REALLY happen.”
Guaranteed.
Jail cell!!!
They must start treating this as an intentional, criminal act.
Well, the zeros were there when it happened.
Tulsi Gabbard had to sound the all-clear when the guv couldn’t. Hope, as a Berner, she’s really appreciating her party now.
Exactly!! For a genuine accident, the person would simply be mortified and would wish to do everything possible to review and improve procedures so this could not happen again.
Non-cooperation totally smells of a cover-up. Probably some “Resistance” pussy-hat clown who thought this would be a good way to rile people up against POTUS Trump.
Time to send Sheriff Joe to Hawaii.
How much money did the button-pusher cost the people and State of Hawaii?
Say what you want, but the guy made a very wise decision. If you don’t talk, you don’t need to hire an attorney. Even if it was an innocent mistake, he has nothing to gain by talking to anyone unless he gets total immunity.
I’d do the same thing.
Exactly. It’s starting to sound like some liberal activist jerk who wanted to cause a public disturbance.
Unless it’s somebody with dementia who should have retired 10 years ago. I have not heard the age of this employee.
Methinks Hawaii government officials are the original prototype for your typical inept, inefficient, credentialed but not educated, and totally immoral FedGov clowns.
Beautiful state, totally infected with old hippies, and burned out marshmallow majors.
The natives are right to want their precious islands back.
The mere fact that we don’t know his name invites suspicion.
I’ve wondered if people whose affairs were seriously impacted might have lawsuit material...
Was this an affirmed action?
Nope.
So, what’s this person worried about?
It may be embarrassing, but not that difficult, to say, “sorry, I goofed up”.
That employee needs a vacation at Gitmo.
