Democratic senators want federal investigators to open probes into whether President-elect Donald Trump’s team broke the law when it asked the Department of Energy to identify climate change warriors on staff.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, and nine of his colleagues, wrote a letter Friday to the Office of Special Counsel demanding to know whether a questionnaire sent by the Trump team to the DOE Dec. 9 “violated long-standing federal laws designed to protect civil servants against coercion for partisan purposes.”

Yes. We sent it. Any other questions?
Once Trump is in the White House, he needs to put a real whoopin’ on these commie ‘RAT tantrum-throwing crybabies and have all of them investigated.
Are you now or have you ever been a member of the eco fecal freak party? Aka the green party/communist party.
So Dickie BloominIdiot wants to investigate rules and law violations?
Look in the mirror, Big Boy
What they want won’t matter soon. To quote Obama, “We won.”
So, they can go into a corner and pee themselves quietly.
Wait, so Global Warming is a partisan issue???!?
You lose again, Blumenthal.
ROTFL! It's not like the Obammie regime didn't use the IRS, DHS, CIA and the FBI for political purposes. What a bunch of clowns. Besides, I thought 25% of these clowns said they were going to quit anyway if Trump won the election. They should be held to their promises.
Who do they think they’re kidding?
They want to impeach him cause he beat them.
So belief in human-caused climate change is now a religion, and discrimination on the basis of religion is wrong. I guess we now know how this is going down....
the reply should be- sure- we’ll run an investigation (and find no evidence whatsoever to move ahead with prosecution- just like comey did) and when we’re done- We’re going to run several other investigations into dear leader and his coercion of the IRS DHS ICE Etc Etc Etc - because after all-
We want to be fair and balanced- You folks sure you wanna pursue this?
Again, Trump should revoke the executive order allowing government employees to unionize, then fire their asses. EVERY. LAST. ONE.
Good Great point !
Also consider that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for environental purposes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Bloomie....tough
The new boss can’t ask what the employees have been working on? That’s a novel approach!
Sure thing... the Trump Administration will get right on it, you bet.
Ideally I’d prefer that this request receive a bureaucratic body-slam of a reject. But it might be a case where you simply slow-walk it. They’ll go crazy either way.
Get these frauds out of government. What is climate change and how do we quantify it with empirical data?
How dare Trump so much as think of questioning The Word Of The Goreacle!!!
It’s Heresy!!
Burn him at the stake!
No wait - NO Can Do!
Open fires produce too much CO2.
