WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is investigating whether former Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton illegally used her position to benefit Royal Dutch Shell PLC, the company that later hired her, according to officials in federal law enforcement and the Interior Department.

The criminal investigation centers on the Interior Department's 2006 decision to award three lucrative oil shale leases on federal land in Colorado to a Shell subsidiary. Over the years it would take to extract the oil, according to calculations from Shell and a Rand Corp. expert, the deal could net the company hundreds of billions of dollars.

:fistbump:

Save America.

I said if nothing else I hoped some good could come of it by way of improved regulations and oversight.

I'm still holding out that hope and now it's burning a little tiny bit brighter.

"far too cozy with the oil industry."

He needs to line up all the MMS management employees in a room, walk down that line, and say to every 10th person that they are fired.

Too little, too late?

I suspect she inherited the problems, but it would appear she didn't do enough fast enough to fix the problems or (dare I say it?) she's being offered up as a sacrificial lamb in place of Salazar.
