A Washington attorney suing the Obama administration for access to alias emails sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson claims that a recent decision by the Justice Department to release thousands of those emails next month contributed to her resigning Thursday.

Jackson, in a brief written statement, said Thursday she is leaving the EPA after four years on the job, for "new challenges, time with my family and new opportunities to make a difference."

The agency did not offer an explanation. But Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said the scrutiny over the alias emails is clearly a factor.

"Life's full of coincidences, but this is too many," he told FoxNews.com. "She had no choice."

Horner and CEI earlier this year had sued the EPA for documents pertaining to Jackson's use of alias email accounts. She was said to operate under the name "Richard Windsor" -- the use of those accounts has since drawn the scrutiny of Republican members of Congress, as well as triggered an audit by the EPA inspector general.

Finally the TRUTH ......so hard to come by these days !!

Who knows, what kind of corruption "Richard Windsor" was up to ..........can hardly wait to find out !!

I agree with W-Girl. What do those emails show? Moreove, is there already some illegality present in Jackson's very use of a secret email account given that such records are supposed to be available to the public and the Congress?

Typical Obama admin sleaziness.

Another excerpt from the article:

Jackson's tenure was marked by a string of high-profile fights between her agency, and the energy industry along with congressional Republicans. Goals for a cap-and-trade climate bill in Congress were scuttled early on in the Obama administration, but her agency went on to set new fuel efficiency standards for U.S. vehicles, as well as new rules for power plants.

She played a role in pushing for a delay in the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL pipeline. All along, Republicans in Congress repeatedly tried to block EPA regulations on coal and other industries.

Personally, I'll bet those e-mails will be damaging but our "king" will see that she is not punished for anything illegal she might have done.
