More from the Free Beacon:

The inspector general for the Environmental Protection Agency announced on Monday that it is beginning an investigation into the agency’s role in triggering a massive toxic waste spill in southwest Colorado.

The IG alerted a number of senior EPA officials to the investigation in a memo released on Monday. “We will request documents, and interview relevant managers and staff in these locations and elsewhere as necessary,” the IG said.

Will a way be found to blame climate change instead of EPA bumbling? Will the EPA trigger another disaster in their attempt to investigate the disaster? Stay tuned.
