The money probably went to some enviral think tank which came up with planting the linx hairs. Then they hosted seminars for the various envrial organizations that hate America 24/7. Ran the seminars which were packed with Forestry Service People, Interior Dept. people, Epa people, USDA people and other govermental wh$res for envirals! At these seminars, these governmental wh$res for envirals learned how to plant the lynx hairs and where to order them. Then if they got caught to use the old ACLU excuse for drug dealers when they get caught, "I was just working for the good guys and testing the system! I wasn't doing anything wrong!"
They know that even with changes of administrations, these Feds stay employed and can carry out their anti American envirals scams from Lynx hairs, Spotted Owls, Sucker Fish and the upcoming Red Legged Frog. They know that we can't shoot nor fire these federal employees regardless of what they do!
