"The Environmental Protection Agency's top climate change expert and highest paid employee was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison today for defrauding the government.

"John C. Beale, who lives with his wife in Virginia, claimed he was a CIA agent working in Pakistan so he didn't have to show up for work for months at a time and defrauded the government out of more than $900,000.

"The 65-year-old's 13 year scam was 'inexplicable' and 'unbelievably egregious', Judge Ellen Huvelle said in Washington D.C. federal court today."

Do you think this “climate change expert” criminal asshat ever lied about his “science”? I hope this degenerate LIB idiot bends over to get the soap many, many times.

DISMANTLE/DEFUND/DOWNSIZE EPA. UNaffordable, UNaccountable bureaucracy.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

It seems ironic to me that a person can be convicted of defrauding a thug agency that defrauds the public and abuses it’s power that was created by money taken from people through abusive and threatening tactics.

If someone from the NRA had done this it would be on the front page of the New York Times...

Since it’s a fellow liberal elite who’s the criminal, the ‘press’ will give him a pass.

Anyone surprised?
