To the EPA, OSHA, SEC, ATF, DOT, FAA, FCC, SBC, and the whole rest of the alphabet soup!

President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order discouraging criminal enforcement of regulatory offenses, in a bid to combat the overcriminalization of federal regulations, a White House official told Reuters on Friday.

Trump's order is meant to ease the burden on small businesses that do not have the same compliance resources as large corporations, according to a draft the official shared.
That is just a smokescreen... it is the billionaires that he is protecting, his billionaire friends in the oil & gas industries, it is the chemical companies... that are the ones he is really protecting.
The order would discourage prosecutors from filing charges not on the lists, and charges that do not require prosecutors to prove the defendant had criminal intent. One such law has been used to prosecute executives for misbranded or adulterated food and drugs.

[...]
 
The reach of federal criminal statutes has long been a target of criticism for some conservatives and business groups.
I wonder just how many violations will be on that list? Like I have been saying... Trump is taking us back tot he 1950s with smog, burning rivers, and silent springs.
