Swamp after Pruitt - bullet - 07-03-2018 07:14 PM

Pruitt was my 2nd favorite of Trump's cabinet picks after Tillerson.
"...If journalists would like to cover a true scandal at the EPA, how about a story following the money trail at the agency, and the “revolving door” staff whose job posts rotate between taxpayer-funded jobs within the EPA and high-paying jobs with firms that benefit from EPA grants. EPA’s corruption runs deep. Nowhere was this more on display than during the Obama years, when “green energy” groups supplied the Obama administration with its officials for the EPA. Those officials allowed their special-interest former employers to write the EPA policies before they were finally offered to the public (as the law requires) for comment.
The never-ending search for scandals involving Administrator Pruitt is a sideshow, meant to deflect attention from his successes draining the Washington swamp and cleaning up an agency that has long been abused by previous administrations to advance agenda-driven policies that have destroyed businesses, trampled on private property rights, and expanded crony capitalist interests.
If the media’s fixation on Pruitt is any indication, his much-needed reforms at the EPA have clearly touched a sensitive nerve in Washington. For that, we should thank him."

One left after calling Trump a moron, and the other is under several investigations after sending an aid on a hunt for a used mattress with Russian piss on it. Great choices. By the way, are you guys going to play the role of victim every day you're in office?

14 scandals being investigated on Pruitt. If you have hard line Republicans like Joanie Earnst calling the major swamp rat? You got to believe Trump may have no choice but to dump him.

Pruitt is easily the most corrupt member of Trump's Cabinet. And that's saying a lot. This teacher nailed the criticism completely. If anyone thinks what she did is wrong, they're crazy.
Laura Ingraham tweet yesterday
"Pruitt is the swamp. Drain it."
