House Panel Holds Hearing On "Politically Driven Science" - Without Scientists

sciencehabit writes: Representative Louie Gohmert (R–TX) is worried that scientists employed by the U.S. government have been running roughshod over the rights of Americans in pursuit of their personal political goals. So this week Gohmert, the chair of the oversight and investigations subpanel of the U.S. House of Representatives' Natural Resources Committee, held a hearing to explore "the consequences of politically driven science." Notably absent, however, were any scientists, including those alleged to have gone astray.

She did nothing wrong, unless you mean violating public policy in a very obscure and debatable loophole fashion.. So yeah, technically they are the same issue, since no laws covered the private nixon recordings as well.

Sorry, but if any "normal" government employee pulled the same crap as Hillary, they would not be allowed to see daylight for years. Like or hate her, we should not reward her disregard for US law by making her the executor of those laws.
