Liberal Freakout: Congress Blindsides Obama Administration With Formal Investigation
Conservative Tribune ^ | February 21, 2018 | Benjamin Arie

Posted on 02/22/2018 8:49:11 PM PST by Cheerio

Barack Obama’s legacy was already on thin ice after many of his signature programs were dismantled during President Trump’s first year in office, and concerns over bias emerged within the Department of Justice.

Now, another blow to the 44th president’s White House tenure has come to light. While the bias concerns at the DOJ continue, another scandal regarding impartiality is gaining momentum, but this time it’s within a federal agency called the Chemical Safety Board.

A House investigative subcommittee is directing the EPA to investigate one of the officials Obama appointed while in office, after anti-lobbying laws were allegedly violated and the liberal ally tried to influence decision making in Washington.

“Chemical Safety Board (CSB) member Rick Engler worked with union activists to promote a grassroots campaign to keep the agency from losing its funding,” reported The Daily Caller in May of 2017. “Engler’s emails further raise concerns about the CSB’s impartiality.”

This is lower than nothing.

Unless they can actually tie Obama era lobbying into it, and Obama can be shown to have known, I’m with you.

... if I understand you correctly of course.

This guy may be in trouble. But, frankly, I don’t even see in the article where things like he used the board to go after folks the left doesn’t like the way the IRS did.

O’REILLY: Bone-headed decisions. But no mass corruption?

OBAMA: Not even mass corruption. Not even a smidgeon of corruption. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/02/02/obama_on_irs_scandal_not_even_a_smidgen_of_corruption.html

The Kenyanesian Usurpation should be exposed and washed from the history of this great nation.

It won’t happen because BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Our government has lost all sight of what representing “We The People” means.
“It’s turned into a US against THEM scenario.

Why is this a surprise to anyone?

A bureaucracies first job is to preserve itself. It's second job is to expand.

Ping.

I have a good friend (conservative) who works on that board. Can’t wait to ask him about this.
