Shades Of U.S. Attorney Scandal: Top EPA Official Forced Out By Political Appointees | Think Progress…….
Poor, EPA administrator, Stephen L. Johnson.
By making a career of putting political hackery above science, and your sworn duty to protect the environment, your decision to betray the public trust may finally be reaping the consequences which it so richly deserve.
The Wonk Room has previously described Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen L. Johnson as “the environment’s Alberto Gonzales.” After years of scandal as White House Counsel and Attorney General, Gonzales finally resigned after it was revealed that numerous U.S. attorneys were fired without cause under his watch.
Now it seems the EPA is following the Department of Justice’s efforts to rid itself of staffers who are not “loyal Bushies.”
