The Freedom of Information Act, intended to provide the citizenry with information previously withheld in a sort of protective political custody, now is used by a government agency, in this case the EPA, to further the Administrations political agenda through both direct and implied intimidation and coercion.
That this behavior could have passed muster with EPA senior management and Administration watchdogs, is indicative of what happens when we violate the concept of limited and lawful government and tolerate governmental misuse of personal data for political advantage.
The EPA needs a good managerial house cleaning and a new mandate about who they work for - the People, and perhaps, a lesson about what the US Constitution has to say about the fundamental preeminence of the individual in our republic, and the respect that individual is due.
