I’m not surprised. The EPA IG is corrupt. JunkScience.com readers will recall, for example, the EPA IG whitewash of EPA’s illegal human testing. BTW, who puts the conclusion in the title of an IG report?

So the new truck industry and its radical green allies are breaking china — even pressuring a scientist to accuse himself … Continue reading Swamp desperate to stop Trump repeal of Obama EPA death sentence for glider trucks
That’s what the letter says. But it probably won’t be what you read in Fake News media accounts (ahem… Eric Lipton, I can’t wait for your report).
JunkScience.com exposed this scandal in June. Three months later… here’s the EPA IG letter announcing the investigation (EPA Web Site|PDF).
