Under a Republican Administration, something like this would touch off a national scandal that would go on for months.

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.

Probably stashing it to buy up coal mining properties for pennies on the dollar...and old power plants.
