Congress committees and investigations are absolutely worthless .. if nothing else, it is to clear those involved. BP, Haliburton, Goldman Sachs, Warren Buffet, Naclo board of directors etc. are all members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Most of Congress committees are the Federal Reserve Payroll .. that’s why you’ll never see the Fed get audited (with any seriousness any way). Meanwhile, the US will continue to be gutted and wealth distributued to other partners in crime.
As Congress investigated its role in the doomed Deep Horizon oil rig, Halliburton donated $17,000 to candidates running for federal office, giving money to several lawmakers on committees that have launched inquiries into the massive spill.
The Texas-based oil giant’s political action committee made 14 contributions during the month of May, according to a federal campaign report filed Wednesday — 13 to Republicans and one to a Democrat. It was the busiest donation month for Halliburton’s PAC since September 2008.
Of the 10 current members of Congress who got money from Halliburton in May, seven are on committees with oversight of the oil spill and its aftermath.
Halliburton’s political contributions in May are the highest they’ve been since September 2009, when the PAC also gave $17,000 in donations. In fact, the last time the company gave more than $17,000 in one month was when it donated $25,000 during the heat of the presidential campaign in September 2008.
About one week before executive Timothy Probert appeared before the House Energy and Commerce’s investigative subcommittee, Halliburton donated $1,500 to Ranking Republican Joe Barton’s reelection effort. It was Halliburton’s second-largest donation of the month — topped only by $2,500 to former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), who is running for the Senate.
In the Senate, Idaho Republican Mike Crapo, who serves on the Environment and Public Works Committee, Georgia Republican Johnny Isakson, who serves on the Commerce Committee and North Carolina Republican Richard Burr (N.C.), who serves on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, all got $1,000. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) also got $1,000.
In the House Reps. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee, Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), who serves on the Natural Resources Committee, Geoff Davis (R-Ky.) and Dave Camp (R-Mich.) all received $1,000 from the oil giant.
Oklahoma Rep. Dan Boren, the only Democrat who got Halliburton’s money, is on the House Natural Resources Committee.
Republican Steve Pearce, running for a House seat he once occupied in New Mexico, and Ohio Republican Senate candidate Rob Portman also got donations from Halliburton.
Federal election law permits company PACs to donate to whomever they like, including lawmakers that are investigating their industry. A spokesman for Halliburton asked all questions to be submitted in writing, and the company did not respond to two e-mails with questions regarding Halliburton’s political donations.
Halliburton made the cement casings on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, and some experts have said the casings contributed to the cause of the disaster. Halliburton, in congressional testimony, has said it followed the orders of BP.

Is this committee aware of the EPA ” National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan”? What is it? How does if function? Was it implimented in the BP oil spill? What is the EPA’s plan, role, responsibility to an oil spill at the “immediate” onset and in the days that follow?

The daugther of Ashley DE PAULA, 3 years has been in contact withe with the substances of the oil spill in Florida.
He is doing nothing for Florida.
Why the O. Administration doesn’t tell the truth to the families and tourists of Florida.
Are the oil spill and chemicals going to cause cancer in Florida?
When O. is going to take a decision to stop the oil spill proliferation?
