This was one of the more disgusting acts of Obama thuggery. There was no good or valid reason to do this, except to persecute, frighten & control people.
Another federal agency that needs abolishment.
Personally, I think that each farmer affected....ought to be given tax-free status for the next twenty years as part of the government ‘pay-back’.
I also think EPA needs a special type of punishment....like downsizing their personnel by a quarter, and limiting any potential hiring of contractors....for at least a ten-year period. I’d even go and appoint a federal judge as oversight chief of the EPA and give him the ability to drag them into his court daily if necessary.
So what is their recourse, all these people who had their rights violated by the EPA? None? That’s what I thought.
Hopefully after about noon on Jan 20, 2016 the EPA will be living on borrowed time. All those poor bureaucrats out of work. Breaks my heart. Sob.
I don’t see the release of this information as being the violation of their rights. Collecting it in the first place was the violation. Why does the EPA need to have the email addresses and phone numbers of some farmer’s family members?
And absolutely nothing will happen to those responsible for releasing the information just like nothing happened to Lois Lerner or the Clinton e-mail wipers. Banana republic at its best (or worst)
