The Obama administration was subpoenaed Tuesday for documents that congressional investigators hope would shed light on how a government report was edited to indicate experts endorsed a moratorium on oil drilling in the Gulf following the Deepwater Horizon tragedy.

Interior Department officials have refused to comply with repeated requests from the House Resources Committee to provide documents that lawmakers say would show if political appointees at the agency or White House were involved in the editing decision and whether it was intentional.

Old news? The transparent Presidency stonewalls Congress so often I lose track of which agencies we're talking about. Still remember the Youtube video where Salazar claims deepwater permits are being issued at an all time high. Wonderful to be above the law.

George Orwell seemed to foretell the Obama Administration in his novel 1984. In the novel the Ministry of Truth was constantly altering historical documents to conform with the current position of Big Brother's regime.

And he edited a Hawaiian Birth Certificate to make it his own. It is what the left does. It is like the scorpion stinging the dog crossing the river. Crime is the leftist’s nature. It is what they do.

It is like the scorpion stinging the dog crossing the river.

And I always thought it was a frog crossing the river with a scorpion. Who knew?

Old news? Of course. Two years since the preliminary report was issued. If they really want to know if the report was edited all they gotta do is subpoena the 11 or so authors on the national academy of sciences committee. I understand some of them issued protests very shortly after the report was issued. The conclusions and recommendations appear to have been twisted a bit.

This is a nation of corruption and manipulation.

It must be great to be emperor and above the law. When are we going to get organized and end this? Alas, it is probably too late.

Old news?

This actually talked about quite a bit back when it happened. This is not a new discovery.

Within days of the report being released, part of the panel spoke up letting the public know that was not the recommendation.

If an oil exec did something similar she’d go to jail.

This isn’t quite correct — “may have” doesn’t belong in the headline. Thanks LucianOfSamasota.
