The Environmental Protection Agency was accused Wednesday of doctoring footage from the Gold King Mine spill, removing the audio of a worker saying, “What do we do now?”
During a House committee hearing on the accident, Rep. Bill Johnson, Ohio Republican, showed what he said was an original on-site video taken the day of the Aug. 5 spill, which includes the audio, and then the same video posted on the EPA’s website that beeps out the audio.
“The last few seconds of the audio has been removed to prevent the viewers from hearing the team on the ground saying, ‘What do we do now?’” said Mr. Johnson during the House Science, Space, and Technology hearing.
He quizzed Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator of the EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, about the apparent removal of the audio.
The EPA posted a disclaimer on its website saying that profanity from its videos had been removed and license plates blurred, but that otherwise the agency “did not edit the videos.”

profanity from its videos had been removed
This whole event is a profanity!
EPA lawless Ping.
Amen...I’ll bet the answer to that workers question was a real doozy of profanities.
Ping.
Does this mine spill make the EPA the biggest polluter of USA rivers? Fire all the quisling minions there.
As long as no polar bears were hurt.....
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The head of the EPA GOES TO JAIL.
The EPA pays for the cleanup of the mess that they created. No superfunds, it comes out of THEIR BUDJET, even if it bankrupts them.
The EPA gets SUED by all of the parties who's property and livelihood were destroyed by the ineptitude of the EPA.
Anything less makes the EPA a bunch of sniveling HYPOCHRITES!
And to think that government wants to put these assclowns in charge of protecting all of our waterways?
I wouldn't let them near a mud puddle, much less any other body of water.
So how many of them get raises, bonuses and promotions?
UN Agenda 21 ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
I agree with you but having dealt with the EPA in mining I can tell you that they could not get a job in the private sector and they know it. So the power granted to these morons makes them feel like they are kings, take their little rule book and they couldn’t figure how to get out of their fancy trucks.
Nah. You think they would lie and cover up? /sarc
A “spill” is an accident. This was no accident. The EPA purposely CAUSED the disaster.
