That letter is an impressive read. And remember, the testimony is from the guy trump sent to help pruitt dismantle the agency. Itā€™s not even from one of the career people.

Perhaps he figured heā€™d start dismantling from the top.

The result is a catalogue of allegations against Pruitt and senior EPA leadership, some new and some old, that together paint a picture of a horrendously corrupt Cabinet official more concerned with personal enrichment than doing his job,

tRump loves catalogs! He still keeps a few Sears catalogs around from his years in the seventh grade.

Is it so much to ask that somebody tear down a critically important federal agency without being an astoundingly corrupt weirdo while doing it?

Yep I think we have a true winner for the Worst Member of Trumpā€™s Deplorable Cabinet.

A security head named ā€œNinoā€? O come on!

Iā€™m sure Pruittā€™s stewardship of the taxpayersā€™ money is no indication of his stewardship of the environment, right? Trump probably considers the letter less an indictment of Pruitt and more an enumeration of the many reasons Trump loves the guy.

It might even give him some new ideas.

Makes you wonder about how the Indiana government is run. I really wish some publicationā€¦like TPM, sayā€¦ would look into Pruittā€™s (and Penceā€™s) tenure in Indiana.

Washington (CNN) Environmental Protection Agency Administrator
Scott Pruitt routinely directed staffers to book expensive hotels,
help him earn frequent flier miles and
schedule meetings to align with his personal travel desires, a former
top staffer told congressional investigators.
ā€¦
I think Pruittā€™s intention is to have himself and all staffers spend like drunken sailors so that nothing is left with which to do what the EPA is tasked by law to do. This way because all the funding has been spent for travel and luxurious hotels nothing will be left to fund enforcement by the agency. That is Pruittā€™s planā€¦plain 'n simple.

Shocking. A Donny capo flaunts ethics, laws, and norms, just like the rest of the syndicate.
