ASARCO "The Department of Justice owes the public an explanation"

"However, a powerful Senator did not hesitate to comment on the matter. “The Department of Justice owes the public an explanation for why there have been no criminal prosecutions despite the SEC openly making accusations of a witness being bought off,” Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa told POGO. Grassley is slated to be the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the DOJ."

And, why has the DOJ not held the DOJ BANKRUPTCY Trustee for the ASARCO case accountable for failing to make the Asarco Bankruptcy court(s) consider the secret-illegal hazardous wastes that the DOJ and EPA discovered were incinerated for nearly ten years by Asarco in at least two smelters?!

How many "Confidential for settlement purposes only" documents are out there between the EPA and DOJ like the 1998 "confidential for settlement purposes only [72 pp] DOJ-EPA Asarco document" ?  How much information is being kept "secret" from affected-communities via these "confidential settlements" ?   Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Reyes said that Asarco paid MILLIONS on the condition that the details of what it had done would NEVER BECOME PUBLIC.

Now the ASARCO Bankruptcy is over, copper prices increase ...

To this day, the liabilities from nearly ten years of ASARCO disposing/burning secret hazardous wastes for profit have never been discussed in the Bankruptcy Courts.   Rep. Reyes, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee said that Asarco paid millions of dollars on the condition that details of what it had done would never become public.    El Paso TX got only about $52 million to clean up whatever undisclosed undeclared unmanifested hazardous wastes remain at the El Paso Asarco site and over 100 years of custom and secondary smelting activity.  The Asarco toxic groundwater plume reaches the Rio Grand the width of the entire property - below that point the City still draws irrigation water for over 70 miles of irrigation district (managed by Rep. Reyes' brother)  ----  and,  draws water for drinking (for central and westside El Paso according to the EPWU Vice President of Operations.)
