Whoever investigates or Not, an investigation is being considered.

Spit out your crayons. USAF Aerospace Medicine Waiver Guide, DAFMAN 48-123 is public info.

So, what happened to the wreckage? Did the US destroy the evidence or not?

They bombed the wreckage, they bombed a couple C-130s that landed for the rescue and were stuck in soft ground, they bombed the 4 MH-6 that couldn't make the return tip, they bombed the crash site of the Predator that was shot down (I think). The only thing that wasn't bombed was the A-10 wreckage, it went down in the gulf.

Sure. Autopsy will explain the cause, so the feds will not have one performed.

If you want a rapid investigation shoot the mallards out of season or don't have a bird stamp.

The fed investigating the fed over a few dead ducks? ... right.

In the United States, the primary agency that enforces the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for:

Investigating violations involving protected migratory birds.
Issuing permits for activities involving migratory birds, nests, eggs, or feathers.
Conducting compliance and enforcement actions.
Working with federal prosecutors on criminal cases.

What you probably mis-read, was the Department of Energy saying they maybe plan to have an investigation, some day.

I'll do this lie in english for you.

"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) is not currently leading the investigation, though environmental groups are urging them to intervene."

V svyazi s gibel'yu etikh kryakv vedetsya rassledovaniye na osnovanii polozheniy Dogovora o pereletnykh --------. Yesli by eto byli muskusnyye utki, takogo rassledovaniya ne provodilos' by. Muskusnyye utki schitayutsya vreditelyami i ne podlezhat zashchite na federal'nom urovne. Prosto priznay, chto ty neprav. Znayesh', ot etogo ne umirayut.

U nas zdes', v N'yu-Dzhersi, polno muskusnykh utok. YA prozhil v Severnoy Virdzhinii 50 let i ni razu ikh tam ne videl. V Vashingtone, tozhe, khotya byval tam ochen' mnogo raz. YA znal, chto Sittsvar (Sitzwar) nes polnuyu chush' naschet etikh utok. Muskusnyye utki vpolne mogut vodit'sya v Vashingtone, sporu net. No te dokhlyye utki, ne oni. Oni chasto vstrechayutsya u nas v N'yu-Dzhersi, na reke Greyt-Egg-Kharbor. Imenno tam ya vpervyye s nimi stolknulsya. Zhalkiy on vso-taki tip. Kto by mog podumat'? Vek zhivi " vek uchis'.

One of the guys that shorted the housing market in 2008 has begun shorting consumer debt.

Nothing like coming in screaming that you're out to improve readiness, then immediately damage readiness with stupid ideology.

The photos of ducks in the reflecting pool that I've seen, live or dead, look like mallards. Doesn't mean there aren't any Muscovy's, they're pretty distinctive in color and head shape so should stand out.

Which will run out first, the MockEffeteBot's tokens, or Effete's bot's tokens?

The dead duckling that couldn't get out, Mallard. The two dead ones they removed from Constitution Gardens, are reported to be Muscovy. If that changes, okay.

Vso yeshcho ne unimayesh'sya? Tak derzhat'! Mozhet, yesli budesh' boltat' dostatochno dolgo, eti dokhlyye utki siloy odnoy lish' tvoyey voli prevratyatsya v muskusnykh utok. Prodolzhay v tom zhe dukhe. Real'nost' tol'ko i zhdot, kogda tvoyo otchayaniye yeyo izmenit.

You're a pessimist. Watch the video.

but despite that, what went right?

Eto voobshche svyazno? YA ne mogu perevodit' na etom telefone. Moy papa govorit po-cheshski. Ne znayu, ponyal by on eto ili net. V konechnom schete, eto kak feyyerverk "pustyshka". Yesli eto ne muskusnyye utki, to oni prosto imi i ne yavlyayutsya. On oshibayetsya v faktakh. Vsya eta vpechatlyayushchaya boltovnya po-russki ne otmenyayet togo, chto on neprav. Trampi...

YA mogu prodolzhat' diskussiyu tak zhe dolgo, kak i ty, priyatel'. Tol'ko ya delayu eto po-angliyski, na yazyke, kotoryy zdes' ponimayut vse. A ne na kakom-to chuzherodnom narechii, prizvannom porazit' prostakov tvoyey "genial'nost'yu". Ty vso ravno oshibayesh'sya naschet "Daks". Mne tak zhal', chto tebe eto dayetsya s takim trudom; mne dazhe nelovko, chto ya zadel tebya tak sil'no. Platochek nuzhen?

I etot potok bessvyaznoy boltovni prodolzhayetsya... Pered nami chelovek, nesposobnyy priznat' sobstvennyye ogranicheniya. Teper' vso, chto on govorit, vyzyvayet somneniya. On, oderzhimyy soboy egoman'yak, napominayushchiy Trampa. On VSEGDA dolzhen byt' prav.
