Why are the same DOJ people who signed onto the ASARCO Bankruptcy (i.e. "fraud") the same ones coming down here to El Paso for our comments? They should RECUSE themselves

It is all about "CLOSURE" and not about "DISCLOSURE" of the illegal and formerly secret toxic-waste burning (some of military origins) done by ASARCO El Paso from 1992-1998 (NYTIMES 10/06)--- and revealed when finally some HONEST person in the DOJ released the "confidential settlement document" as a public document after EIGHT YEARS of secrecy.

Will the DOJ expose the ASARCO Bankruptcy Fraud?
