Discussion: EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt Resigns

Good riddance, Scott Prutit. Unfortunately, there are plenty of other terrible people to abuse power and keep clogging up the wheels of progress. And there should be no doubt that the Trump Administration will find most of them.

Finally! Another dignity wraith consumed by Trump, although Pruitt had precious little dignity to start with.

Only. The. Best. People.

Amiright, Donnie?

No stomach for a Senate confirmation hearing.

But will he be prosecuted for his crimes? My bet is that he was told if he resigned all peaceable like, the Elvenführer will squelch any DoJ investigations. He’ll never come to trial.

With the Supreme Court properly stacked it isn’t essential that the AG be completely in the Trump bag. I assume Trump was keeping him around for the possibility of installing him as AG.

Great, now the destruction of our environment will be left to some flunky, to be completed in a haphazard, inefficient manner.

Awesome. It only took a year+ and 19(?) investigations to get him out. I would be comforted but for the fact that Trump will ensure that his replacement will be just as bad if not worse. :-/

BTW does he get to keep his soundproof “phone booth”?

Exactly. I have mixed feelings: 1. It’s good to know that there is some place somewhere that is a bridge too far for Trump appointees. 2. But, I don’t want him to slink off quietly and earn big $$ lobbying without facing some consequences.

This Trump is a real #low-energy sort of strongman. #sad.

I’m more than half suspecting the resignation is the result of being made aware of an impending indictment.

Let the door hit you on the way out!

Not like Donald’s going to put anyone good for the environment in though.
