The Environmental Protection Agency and its disgraced former boss Lisa Jackson are under fire from lawmakers and activists for, among other reasons, having recently been exposed violating federal law by using bogus identities and e-mail accounts to coordinate propaganda and policy with media allies, "green" groups, and policymakers to advance the Obama administration’s radical “environmental” agenda. Other EPA corruption is also still in the headlines, too, with the agency being criticized for ripping off U.S. taxpayers and foisting more unconstitutional regulations on the economy by working with extremist pseudo-environmental groups using a controversial scheme dubbed “sue and settle.”
The most recent major scandal, which began unraveling late last year after a federal court ruling, involves former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, who conveniently announced her resignation in late December. The self-styled “most progressive EPA chief in history" was caught, apparently in violation of federal law, using the fake name "Richard Windsor" and a bogus e-mail account to conspire with allies in the establishment media and friendly policymakers. The shady dealings were part of an effort to promote Jackson and the Obama administration’s wildly unconstitutional policies without being exposed to public scrutiny.
The pseudonym and fake e-mail account scandal, already being called "Windsorgate," was essentially aimed at skirting federal record-keeping laws barring the use of fake names in official government dealings, according to analysts. The other purpose of the unlawful scheme, first uncovered by a researcher at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, was to conceal the lawless EPA boss’s activities from mandatory public and congressional oversight. After a Freedom of Information Act request and a successful lawsuit by CEI, however, the whole plot is slowly coming to light.

Such nice people, the EPA. And so vital to our wellbeing.
guess i won't hold my breath till the sow is indited...
Remember people....we have NO Attorney General, we only gots Eric the Corrupt, so who is going to prosecute?
Actually Holder went after Jesse Junior.
The Chicago mob is so confident now they are starting to eat their own, just like Stalin’s purges.
Good Move. With the Justice Department we have and with Obama behind her she has nothing to fear.
ain't that the truth...

I believe Junior's demise was President You Didn't Build That's way of settling his score with "Reverend" for threatening him shortly before the 2008 election. Including Junior's wife in the general festivities just adds emphasis: never face off a gangster of higher stature.
Anything is possible in post-constitutional America.
Right hand raised-—So help me God.
“cutting his nuts off” I think was the euphemism used by Jesse.
“Sue and settle” is how the Karuk tribe and CA DFG agreed to initiate a moratorium on suction dredge mining in the Klamath - that is until the New 49ers sued and won because it violated their due process rights. Didn’t matter in the end, the CA Dems passed legislation to do the same thing. Of course now the miners have to sue for reimbursement of a property takings.
My guess was that it wasn’t Eric the Corrupt but Fitzgerald. Probably an internal Chicago Mob fight rather than an altruistic move by Eric the Corrupt.
