Ex-EPA Chief Lisa Jackson Denies Trying To Avoid Sunshine Laws

Former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson told Congress on Tuesday that she didn’t abuse her official email accounts, nor did she use her own private account to try to circumvent open-records laws.

Ms. Jackson, who used an email under the name “Richard Windsor” at EPA, said she was just following the practice of former administrators of both parties. And she said she tried to make sure that any business mail sent to her own private account was also forwarded to her official account, where it was subject to open-records laws.

“On one hand, there can certainly be honest and reasoned debate over my judgments, and on the other hand, there are some who want to theorize that there is a hidden agenda,” she told the House oversight committee in her prepared statement. “The principle reason I wanted to come here today is to make it perfectly clear that it was my practice to ensure that any official business conducted by me or through my email accounts was appropriately captured for record keeping purposes.”

That's why she used a FAKE name and e-mail account??? So that she could MAKE SURE her "official business" was "appropriately captured" and using her REAL name would NEVER get that done, of course. Of course. And since she is telling her story to a room full of OTHER lying and thieving losers, she could have said she was using the fake name to avoid being harassed by the Easter Bunny and the congressmen would have just nodded and said "I can see that..." Thieves, liars, and cheats try to stick together, ya know....
