This isn’t a trap for Pruitt – we know he’s corrupt – but it is a trap for the IG.

“Ethics”? I don’t think Pruitt knows the meaning of the word. He’s another Trump appointee in the pocket of wealthy donors.

The Atlantic reported Tuesday that Pruitt had also used his authority under that law to effectively give five-figure raises to two top aides after the White House had already rejected his request to approve the raises weeks earlier.

A five-figure raise to two top aides and a two-finger salute to the White House. Trump will be mad about this as soon as Fox News lets him know.

I’ve been wondering who at the white house specifically said no to the raises. The Five-star personnel office?

Typical biased deep state nonsense. Unless every investigation has people looking at Shillary, I won’t accept the outcome. How come nobody is talking about how crooked she is? Fake news. Look at the polls. Google it. There are literally caravans of illegals. Did anyone read that Clancy book where the terrists sent people through the border with the coyotes? Obama made it easy for all of them and literally subsided illegal border crossings. He was the one who was soft on Russia. Trump is the hardest on Russia that ever was. That’s why we need a better relationship with Russia and Trump is the only one looking to do that. Fake news

I think those guys and gals are strictly hunter/gathers.

From the start, this is not a “room.” Given the public descriptions, it was essentially a 2-bdrm apartment. I wish the media, and everyone, would stop buying into this “it was just a room” framing. It wasn’t just a room.

Probe away! How about with a broom stick with a bowling ball on the end of it?
As a nature photographer you have no idea how much I hate this guy.

You can get a minimum idea of what even “just a room” (or rather “just two rooms” since his daughter used another space for free) by checking airbnb for similar spaces. Only those don’t have guaranteed availability. And you probably can’t leave anything there between stays. This one doesn’t pass the laugh test. But then neither does the rest of what pruitt has been doing.

Sheldon Whitehouse is no dummy and he’s not exactly a shrinking violet either. My guess is he stays on this until Pruitt is gone.

GOPers are so entitled they don’t realize what ethics even is.
