Exclusive: EPA Dumps 880,000 Lbs Of Toxic Metal Into River, Won’t Answer Any Questions
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/31/16 | Ethan Barton

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials refuse to answer two questions surrounding the August 2015 Gold King Mine spill that would help resolve issues uncovered by a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation. TheDCNF reported numerous contradictions in the EPA’s explanation of how and why it intentionally breached Colorado’s Gold King Mine, releasing 880,000 pounds of dangerous metals and mining waste into drinking water for three states and the Navajo Nation. Yet, the EPA refused to clarify those contradictions and instead disregarded TheDCNF’s findings and clung to its original story. First, the EPA ignored the conflicts of interest surrounding the “independent” investigation of the

The EPA dumped Toxic waste three times onto three different rivers in one year : just in Colorado.

The EPA was warned publically -a letter to the local newspaper by an experienced scientist - to not do what they desired. The EPA wanted a big spill in order to gain more money and power.

Like an arsonists carries matches and gas cans for a reason. Not an accident. UN Agenda 21.

“You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.”

“Socialism Is Legal Plunder” - Bastiat

“No controlling legal authority” - Al Gore

I remember that letter, pretty damning. Is hickenpooper holding the EPAs feet to the fire, do you know? I haven't seen much. They got their superfund designation, right?

In Flint, it’s the Republicans at fault. In the case of EPA poisoning the population, it never happened.

Coffman and Hickenlooper battled in the state’s highest court over her decision to join a lawsuit challenging the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, with the attorney general coming out at the victor.

Attorney General Cynthia Coffman explained all options are still on the table .. Coffman has been weighing legal action against the Environmental Protection Agency since its contractors triggered the 3 million-gallon disaster..

A team of 10 attorneys in her office has been looking into the possibility of filing a lawsuit
