John Beal-EPA Climate Change Expert Going to Prison

John Beal, a high-ranking EPA official, has pleaded guilty to defrauding the government of some $900,000. He claimed he was on special assignment for the CIA in Pakistan. In truth, he was relaxing at home. The CIA never heard of him. He obtained a special parking spot because he had contracted malaria in Vietnam. He never had malaria, and he was never in Vietnam. Below is the report from the Huffington Post with a video of an MSNBC news report.

Here is what the Huffpo and MSNBC omitted:

“The scandal could rebound against the current administrator of the EPA, Gina McCarthy, and her efforts to carry out President Barack Obama’s climate-change agenda. Last week, an official investigation found that she knew of the fraud for more than a year.” 

In addition, it seems Mr Beal was one of EPA’s top climate change experts.

At least he didn’t make off with an Oscar and Nobel Prize.
