I would be very interested to see where in EPA’s Charter or the Constitution it authorized them to even have a “Most Wanted” list, much less pursue criminal investigations and fugitive pursuits on their own.

What a coincidence!

The EPA is on my top 10 list of government agencies to be shut down or cut in half!

EPA - halved and top tier management replaced.
Dept. of Ed - closed
Dept. of Ag - halved
NRLB - closed
Dept. of Interior - halved
HHS - halved
Commerce - halved
ATF - top tier mgmt replaced
CIA - top tier mgmt replaced
State Dept. top tier mgmt replaced
Dept. of Energy - halved & top tier mgmt replaced
All new czars created by Obama - closed & fired
...what?....that’s more than 10?....we can live with that!

I want every illegal out, and have for a looooong time!

Amen! If it weren’t for their ready enablers, we wouldn’t have an illegal immigration problem.

Good one; you’re absolutely correct. And I meant the Department of Education. I could almost understand the Dept Of Energy having a paramilitary police force, given the stakes in nuclear materials being stolen, etc.

And yet, the Dept of Education with a S.W.A.T. ...let alone one Barney Fife with a single bullet in his pocket.
