Congress Accuses EPA Chief Of Lying, Mentions Criminal Prosecution

From the Daily Caller:

Republicans on the House science committee are accusing EPA Chief Administrator Gina McCarthy of lying while testifying before Congress last month, not so subtly reminding her that lying before lawmakers is a criminal offense.

“Providing false or misleading testimony to Congress is a serious matter,” House Republicans wrote to McCarthy, accusing her of making false statements regarding EPA regulations and science.

“Witnesses who purposefully give false or misleading testimony during a congressional hearing may be subject to criminal liability,” they wrote. “With that in mind, we write to request that you correct the record and implore you to be truthful with the American public about matters related to EPA’s regulatory agenda going forward.”

Republican lawmakers are referring to a July 9 hearing where McCarthy made allegedly false statements regarding the science behind the EPA’s Clean Water Rule, the agency’s approach to regulating ozone levels and concerns about withholding highway funding from states.

It's all about furthering the agenda, total centralized control.
