In typical Obama fashion, during the House committee hearing, the EPA replaced a doctored video from their website with the real one and both versions were shown, The Washington Times reported. The doctored video had edited out a worker saying, “What do we do now”, in response the rushing toxic waters.
Here is the video pre-doctoring:
In a challenge to all credulity, EPA spokeswoman Laura Allen said it was “posted by mistake”. The EPA really meant to show the “unredacted version.”
The EPA has a disclaimer on its website saying that profanity from its videos had been removed and license plates blurred, but that otherwise the agency “did not edit the videos.”
The EPA tried to deflect by saying there are many mines that are disasters waiting to happen but they didn’t explain what that had to do with the case at hand.
“It shows there was no flow of water coming out,” Hennis said. “They are calling it an act of God when it was an act of government. The photos clearly show the EPA backfilled the portal to block water from coming out and they blocked the discharge pipes at the same time.” Source: Independent Sentinel

Blocking the mine’s natural drainage triggered the catastrophe, Henning told Watchdog.
The EPA did everything imaginable wrong. They caused the spill, didn’t properly notify the local and state officials and the tribal leaders. They sent dirty water to the Navajos for their cattle and crops. While taking responsibility for the disaster, they haven’t fired anyone and they keep lying about it.
Abolish this useless agency !!!
