How The Hell Does Scott Pruitt Still Have A Job?

Using tax payers money to fly all over the world on tourism adventures that have nothing to do with his job 

 

Lobbyists paying for his housing 

 

Whistle blowers being fired for pointing out his wild misuse of funds 

 

Using tax payers money to build anti-transparency systems so he can talk to his corrupt buddies in secret 

 

Ridiculously large--and expensive security details 

 

Handing out large salaries to his friends for jobs they are unqualified for 


And there is more that we know about:

• Pruitt asked for large salary increases for two of his aides; when the White House refused, he found an obscure provision of the Safe Drinking Water Act that allowed him to give them the increases without permission.

• Pruitt sent an aide to go house-hunting for him, an apparent violation of ethics rules.

• Pruitt asked for a bulletproof car, and told his security detail to use their sirens and flashing lights to get him out of traffic on his way to dinner, in violation of ordinary protocols.

• Officials who have questioned some of Pruitt’s spending and other practices have been fired or demoted.

• Pruitt created a task force to oversee the Superfund program and installed to lead it a banker who had been banned from the banking industry and had no environmental experience, but had loaned Scott Pruitt over a million dollars.

• Pruitt directed EPA staff to explore establishing an office in his home town of Tulsa that would include “a conference room, secure parking, would be able to accommodate 24/7 security, and included a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) for secure communications.” While SCIFs are commonly used in the White House, the CIA, or the Pentagon, you don’t find them in EPA offices.

If people want to complain about how Mueller’s investigation went past collusion and on to other crimes, that is understandable and fair. Saying it has turned up nothing is an absolute lie and the indictments are proof. Let the investigation play out and we will see what happens. Trump could still be standing and getting crap done when it’s finished. Investigations and smear campaigns are not new in Washington, some people need to man up.

I’m not sure you are farting enough. Sounds like there is way too much gas trapped between your ears.

It isn’t tough to imagine a fleet of staffers will rat him out. “A senior Environmental Protection Agency official acted essentially as the personal assistant to the administrator, Scott Pruitt, helping him hunt for an apartment, travel to a college football game and even try to procure a used mattress from the Trump International Hotel, congressional transcripts show.” Good grief.

Round and round. This is the poor guy Trump hired and it looks like he is trying to make the most of it

Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt last year had a top aide help contact Republican donors who might offer his wife a job, eventually securing her a position at a conservative political group that has backed him for years, according to multiple individuals familiar with the matter. 

The job hunt included Pruitt’s approaching wealthy party supporters and conservative figures with ties to the Trump administration. The individuals said he enlisted Samantha Dravis, then serving as associate administrator for the EPA’s Office of Policy, to line up work for his wife.

And when one donor, Doug Deason, said he could not hire Marlyn Pruitt because of a conflict of interest, Pruitt continued to solicit his help in trying to find other possibilities.

A spokesman for the Judicial Crisis Network confirmed Tuesday that it employed the onetime school nurse “temporarily as an independent contractor,” but it did not disclose via email how long she worked there or what she was paid. The spokesman said the position came about after the group received her résumé from Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society. The two organizations have financial ties.
