Unless the perps go to prison for fraud, this is nothing.
That’s it. Re-education camp for you.
The Environmental Protection Agency should be shut down for the same reason.
These people will lie, cheat, and steal to advance their agenda. Nothing is beyond them, nothing. We should not trust anyone from the government on, well, any topic.
Your questions are very astute and aimed at the heart of the matter.
