there ought to be equal consequences for the EPA, just as there are to private citizens.

if the EPA had done what they should have done, we would not have had this spill.

the EPA does not have experience in cleaning up mines such as this.

are you familiar with the discretionary function exemption?

I just do not want the EPA utilizing a loophole to get out of what you are responsible

The truth is not being told here.

We and the American people are sick and tired of being snookered, of being taken by our government.

The directive goes out to stop destroying the tapes, or erasing the tapes in May of 2013.

This is an issue that I think people are sick and tired, Americans cannot fathom, cannot understand why illegal individuals in this country who are repeat offenders of crime are continually released back in their communities.

I was told by the sheriff before coming in here that his department has had no communication whatsoever with Homeland Security or ICE before criminals have been released back into his county.

Well, based on the last couple of years, there's been over 50,000 released.

Okay. With all the things that we are talking about here today, Ms. Seymour, you were obviously fully aware of these risks and OPM was aware of these risk?
