Federal judge: Yeah, there’s a good chance the EPA has been using secret e-mail accounts...

Through their efforts, the Competitive Enterprise Institute first shed some light on the rather mysterious life and times of one Richard Windsor, the extralegal nome de plume used by Obama’s former Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson in conducting official EPA business over e-mail. Open-records laws require that all government business be conducted on official accounts so they can later be searched in the event of any Freedom of Information Act requests, and standard protocol directs that if any private e-mails are used for government business, they should be forwarded to official accounts. Jackson and other EPA employees repeatedly failed to do so, among other sketchy behaviors, while they were thinking up new and exciting job-killing regulations. They’ve since been less than forthright with producing requested documents — and now a federal judge has ruled that, well yeah, that does sound pretty shady. From the WFB:

Apparently these people think they are not supposed to serve the taxpayer, they seem to think they are there to be serviced BY the taxpayers. This is corruption writ large.

We elected a criminal enterprise. Twice.

I'm not sure they will want to leave when their time is up.

This administration is so corrupt that it would be a miracle to find one thing that they have done that was actually legal and done on purpose. Sadly, the whole damn government is following in that path.

It does not bother me a great deal that people in power want to use any means at their disposal to accomplish their goals, whether public or private. What bothers me is that their goals are misguided and perverse. The EPA, whether using public or private correspondence, throttles the advancement of widespread progress and wealth while accumulating wealth for itself and those with whom they associate. Wealth is relative, however. So is contentment. Let these bastards bite and snarl themselves to death. In the end Truth will shine. They will lose.

U.S. district Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Wednesday rejected an EPA request for summary judgment against Landmark, instead permitting Landmark to question former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and others about emails possibly omitted when EPA responded to Landmark’s Freedom of Information Act request this spring. Jackson, it was widely reported, had conducted some communication using a personal account with the name Richard Windsor.

Did this judge also say, “What does it matter”?

So when are people going to be prosecuted and sent to jail. It is no longer IF this administration is breaking the law. The question now is If they will be held accountable for those violations.

nobama and his minions are so many that only deportation to a “devil’s island” may work. These criminals must be removed from society.
