Washington Report 2: Are we surprised? No, but it's still outrageous. Nearly 900 EPA scientists (2/3 of those surveyed) said political appointees interfered with their work, in a Union of Concerned Scientists survey released Wednesday. 225 said they were directed to "inappropriately exclude or alter" technical information from an EPA scientific document. The EPA “is an agency in crisis,” said Francesca Grifo, director of the UCS scientific integrity program. House Oversight Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) said the report “suggests a pattern of ignoring and manipulating science” and plans to raise questions about it with the agency at a hearing about possible White House interference in ground-level ozone regulations.

I believe, that's enough bad evidences for the FBI and other agencies to do their job and to protect American people against pure lies from their politicians.
To set the legal precedence and jail the responsible for their false results/data. It is really so very easy, just apply the law. White collars need to know, that lying in official documents doesn't pay off.
