Manslaughter Charges Dropped For BP Supervisors In Oil Spill
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Gulf of Mexico rig explosion that killed 11 workers and unleashed the nation's worst offshore oil spill also led to criminal charges against four BP employees, who faced prison time if convicted.
But the Justice Department's decision to drop manslaughter charges against two BP rig supervisors makes it increasingly likely that nobody will spend a day behind bars for crimes associated with the deadly disaster.
-----------------------------
Republicans blocked this administration from subpoena power for months after the spill. And GOP congressman Joe Barton even apologized to BP from the House. He felt terrible that BP would have to pay for their mess. By the time they granted Obama the ability to investigate, the waters were forever muddied. Shows how much they love this country.
Republicans are truly pond scum to work so hard against America.
11 people died because of safety regs Republicans are against. If safety regs (Republicans are against) were followed, those people would be alive. Yet, they freak out over Benghazi.
