Government Agencies and Shredding Documents - Corruption a Real Concern

[The Lyin King]

BRC's Recreational News

Don Amador links to a couple of news stories about a real concern on
behalf of many stakeholders that some administration officials may be tempted to destroy documents showing an improper or even illegal coordination with the Washington, DC, Wilderness lobby.

Amador writes:

"The Recreation HQ believes that Congress has a valid concern that agencies who have acted in a corrupt manner have already fired up their shredders or have hired shredding trucks to come and destroy thousands of documents that would show corruption, collusion with far-left wing environmental groups, or “science” that was ginned up to promote the closure agenda of the EPA or similar agencies."

Amador isn't the only person concerned about shredding documents

"No one is accusing the Obama administration of destroying documents, but Republicans are expected to try to ensure that all records - on a range of issues - are kept intact."

"Darrell West, a political scientist and director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, said Republicans likely will formally ask the administration not to shred or delete any relevant documents that could be requested in a congressional probe."

""That'll happen right away, because they want to make sure that the documentary record is preserved so that they have something to investigate," said West."
