EPA Email Scandal Is Worse Than Originally Thought

President Barack Obama and, for that matter, most of America seem woefully ignorant about a scandal unfolding at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As hard as it is to believe, outgoing Administrator Lisa Jackson actually appears to have had agency personnel create a fictitious employee by the name of “Richard Windsor” so that Jackson could appropriate the Windsor’s email address for her own purposes.

We’re not talking about some alias to be used for personal correspondence but a totally false identity in whose name official business was allegedly conducted created specifically to avoid federal record-keeping and disclosure requirements. And none of this would ever have been uncovered were it not for the courage of a still anonymous whistleblower and the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Christopher Horner, an attorney with the legal smarts and experience needed to unravel it all.

Earlier this week, thanks to Horner’s good work, the EPA was supposed to produce the first installment of some 12,000 secret, previously undisclosed emails. Not because it wanted to but because a federal court order required it to.

Under the order, the EPA was to provide the first installment of 3,000 e-mails with three additional installments of 3,000 e-mails to follow. Rather than provide the required emails, however, EPA’s cover letter accompanying its production of emails said it “produced more than 2,100 emails received or sent” by Jackson on an official alias e-mail account.

President Barack Obama and, for that matter, most of America seem woefully willfully ignorant about a scandal unfolding at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

I corrected a small misstatement in the article. We all know that if the American people are ignorant of it, it's because the MSM isn't covering it. Zero, on the other hand, is willfully ignorant.

So what exactly is the Richard Windsor email address?

He was a ficticious gov't employee so I am guessing: richard.windsor@epa.gov
Someone here should try it.

And as for the fbi and secret service? They are the worst of the alphebet agencies. Do little but prop up this criminal and look the other way.

The FBI-the brown shirts of another era.

I think you could make the case that everyone who sent email to or received email from Richard Windsor and didn’t report it to the EPA Inspector General was guilty of conspiracy to evade the FOIA.

Conspiracy is a felony.
