Guess when you live in the DC bubble, this defending of corporate criminality seems a sensible thing to do.
Not only the polluting, but the deaths of the 11 men are directly attributable to the decision of the BP rig chief, his COO, and Hayward.
Manslaughter charges at the very least.
Anyway, when I heard Barton this morning I couldn’t believe it. What was his alternative to BP paying for its actions........none.
Wonder if the Dems will replay the tape of Barton kissing Hayward’s oily arse during the fall campaigns.....nationalize every race they could.
You are deluded if you think they were only 2 options- obama force BP to pay, or BP pay nothing.
Barton’s alternative? The rule of law and due process. Shocking, yes.
