Power corrupts.
The PEA is corrupt absolutely!
Those people over at EPA need to consult with Hillary on how to make $6 billion “disappear”.
Every House and Senate committee chairman would want to commence his or her own "independent investigation."
There would be leaks about EPA money finding its way into the hands of conservative politicians and activist groups.
At the very least, the head of EPA would be forced to resign immediately, and probably be indicted for any number of obvious crimes.
Then, as time went on, more allegations would surface. Questions would be asked about whether any of this money made its way to foreign fighting groups, or used to purchase weapons for those groups.
Questions would be asked about whether any of this money had been used to pay for transportation or expenses of protestors in Ferguson, Baltimore, or Miami. Questions would be asked about whether any of this money had been used by agencies other than EPA.
Of course, questions would also be asked about whether this practice of using hidden accounts was undertaken by other executive-branch agencies. Some elderly Senator - perhaps from Maine, or Vermont, or one of the Midwestern states - would opine that the left hand must have told the right hand about all the fun it was having in the taxpayer's pocket, or some such memorable line.
That is - as I say - some of what would happen. If this had been discovered to be taking place under a Republican President, with a Democrat congress.
Of course the situation today is the precise inverse of that. And, so, we all know exactly what will happen.
Just another rogue federal agency that has no constitutional basis that needs to just “go away”.
“Ya gonna pay the ‘Protection Agency, see?”
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials have accumulated at least $6.3 billion in more than 1,300 obscure spending accounts akin to slush funds that are essentially beyond congressional, media and public scrutiny.
...
Just like Hillary’s server. No wonder she’s touted by the criminal class as the most qualified to be president.
EPA is not the only agency with a “slush” fund.
I once wrote my Representative and both Senators asking about oversight over the multi-million dollar fines assessed and collected from banks, automakers, etc. Two did not respond and one gave a half answer regarding only one particular fine by the Justice Department.
The only reasonable conclusion - no one is watching the foxes in the hen house.
In particular, the issue of the President's nominee to fill the seat of Justice Scalia would be rendered moot, a flea's fart in a hurricane. The issue of 4-to-4 decisions and any difficulties they might cause would be seen as a tiny distraction, worth a derisive chuckle and not a penny more.
The issue would be used to further hobble Hillary Clinton, as questions of where the $6B that "disappeared" under her tenure as Secretary of State would resurface with renewed salience.
It's not their fault taxpayers don't understand the rules.
That's my Cruzism for the day.
So if they already have so much money, defund them. Oh wait. Republicans are the majority. Never mind.

EPA?
Yeah, thanks Dick Nixon for this rogue agency, created by executive order, the Administrator given Cabinet rank even though it’s not an actual ‘department’, it’s become a magnet for any and every kind of jackbooted federal thug to trample on the Constitution.
It needs to be abolished, totally.
Money is allocated for cleanups, but the cleanup processes can last for years. So, in between the time the money is allocated and the cleanup is completed, the money is placed in segregated accounts to be drawn upon as work is contracted and completed.
duh
The leftist dem-rino entrenched DC political establishment is stealing every dollar and cent of taxpayers monies as fast and as much as they possibly can. They throw promises and pieces of bread to the ignorant Americans who support and ignore them, they are the same, and laugh all the way to the bank to deposit stolen monies for themselves and their families and bureaucratic friends. Both dem-rino men and women alike.
6 billion. Where have I seen that amount before? WHO dissappeared 6 billion. recently?
The EPA needs to be totally disbanded and maybe, just maybe, replaced with an organization that monitors Only major violators of the environment, e.g. the new smokestack industry in town that is choking all the townspeople. Even That would be regulated by local uproar and free markets, but lofos don't get that. The EPA thinks your backyard is a wetland. That's got to stop. Did you know the EPA has their own police force, their own SWAT style units? Soft tyranny. .
So Congress should ban the practice immediately and take the funds for the VA.
Sounds like our money is being stolen. Do any of the pusses in congress care?
