The noose tightens: Waxman subpoenas EPA documents over dirty decision

The plot continues to thicken over the obviously White House-directed EPA decision to reject California�s greenhouse gas standards for motor vehicles.

Today, Rep. Henry Waxman issued a subpoena to compel EPA to provided �unredacted�� copies of documents that have been withheld from Waxman�s oversight committee. See below.

You have to be impressed at the methodical nature of Waxman�s investigation of this dirty decision.

Will the Bush administration try to invoke �Executive Privilege?�� That would be an admission that the White House meddled in a decision that was supposed to be up to EPA.

And will the Bush administration try to retaliate against EPA whistleblowers? (Some House Republicans led by Tom Davis of Virginia appear to be trying to retaliate. C�mon Tom! Go get your lobbying job and stop wasting tax money!)

1. Many here have been screaming at the pace of Waxman's (and other's) investigations...

but he's got the screws to them from every direction and he's tightening them ever so slowly to see which one makes them squeal first. Something or someone's going to pop.

His low-key style, patience and failure to display any unreasonable anger at their juvenile slights must be maddening for them as well.
