This is an interesting development.
First it was SWAT teams, and now it's the DOJ. This is not your typical environmental situation.

WASHINGTON, April 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Attorney General Eric Holder announced today that he is dispatching a team of attorneys from multiple divisions within the Justice Department to New Orleans to meet with the U.S. Attorney and response teams and to monitor the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
"The British Petroleum oil spill has already cost lives and created a major environmental incident," said Attorney General Holder. "The Justice Department stands ready to make available every resource at our disposal to vigorously enforce the laws that protect the people who work and reside near the Gulf, the wildlife, the environment and the American taxpayers."
The team will be led by Ignacia S. Moreno, Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, and Tony West, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division, and will include relevant United States Attorneys. The combined group from the Department plans to make a site visit and meet with representatives from federal agencies working on the response.

Obama, the octopus imposter-man.
Now all of a sudden they are worried about the American taxpayer?
“The Justice Department stands ready to make available every resource at our disposal to vigorously enforce the laws that protect the people who work and reside near the Gulf, the wildlife, the environment and the American taxpayers.”
Guess Holder has never heard of CA/AZ/NM/TX borders!!!!
“First it was SWAT teams...”
I found it very odd that SWAT teams were sent to “inspect oil platforms for safety”. So in addition to “dynamic entries”, weapons training, and bravery in the face of fire and all that, they know petroleum industry piping codes too?
And now lawyers are being sent to keep the beaches clean, I imagine...
According to recent studies, government attorneys absorb up to 42% more oil than the other leading brand.
yes, send in a team of eric holder’s lawyers to monitor the containment and clean up effort
that will make the lives of the people on the Gulf Coast so much better
sarc
They must suspect some radical Christian and/or Tea Party group(?)
LOL!
Ivy League lawyers.
Is there anything they aren’t experts on?
I heard this is Halliburtons fault....they are responsible for the cement poured that caused the leak? If so, we will never hear the end of this...
Its very interesting that just when Obama and his dummies want to stop drilling, an oil platform blows up
lol nothing better to do
According to the Huffington Post it’s Halliburton’s fault anyway.
Obama’s Soviet forces on the move.
The title should be changed to a team “of lawyers.” If they are that great - why don’t we send them to war to fight for the country and bring our loyal military troops home?
Questions - always more questions - and no answers!
I suspect sabotage. It’s them damn tree huggers again.
(uggh...)
