WTF, heā€™s a loyal appointee of the Asshole-elect, the king of self enrichers. Sad.

Now that the Republicans have cleared Trump, theyā€™ll have all the time they need to clear Pruitt.

I wonder if Trump uses the get out of jail free Monopoly cards when issuing his pardons. No doubt Pruitt is well on his way to receiving one.

Hereā€™s hoping Trump chokes on hpost-pardon depression.

We formally request that the FBI open an investigation into Administrator Scott Pruittā€™s conduct to assess whether he broke the law, including criminal statutes prohibiting public corruption

But can they prove that he had corrupt intent when ordering the Secret Service to pick up his dry cleaning?

At this point the question isnā€™t whether or not Scott Pruitt is a corrupt official engaged in criminal activity (he is), but rather why is he allowed to remain in his current post?

Occamā€™s Razor suggests that he continues to serve the needs of the Trump Administration simply as a distraction from their own governmental malfeasance.

Dems write letters.

Dems only write letters.

Even if they are in power they do nothing to use it to consolidate it - ā€˜impeachment is off the tableā€™ in 2008 and already in 2018.

Idiots.

For me, the moisturizer scavenger hunt was the last straw.

That, and destroying the environment.

Somewhat true.

On the impeachment question there is absolutely no reason to telegraph intentions which might inspire the right-wing voter.

One step at a time- Step One: Re-take Congress.

we love Chick-fil-A as a franchise of faith

That statement is so idiotic Trump wouldnā€™t even utter it.

The word ā€œfaithā€ would turn to ashes in his mouth.

For an asshole like Pruitt, shouldnā€™t a proctologist be the lead investigator?

Fuck yeah!!

On the other hand, watch Sessions put that letter in his bottom drawer and state heā€™s misplaced it, or will get to itā€¦eventually. This DoJ will slow walk this shit. If it isnā€™t about the Russian investigation that Sessions has no control over, the FBI under him probably wonā€™t do shit about this either. Heā€™s too busy ordering the instant removal of children from their immigrant parentsā€¦by any means and housing them in prisons. Thatā€™s what the DoJ thinks about justice these days.

Step two, deep dive investigations with public hearings that invite live cable news coverage with the intent of getting die hard red state voters to put pressure on their reps.

Step three, find someone with several million dollars they donā€™t mind parting with, to fund a tv ad campaign in those red states/districts, ā€œTell Congressman/Senator ā€œXā€ that Trumpā€™s gotta goā€ type commercials.

Remember, impeachment talk without a minimum of 67 votes (and preferably 75 or more) in the Senate is just worthless talk. All it does is play into the Rā€™s hands that itā€™s a witch hunt and partisan hacks trying to hurt the president.

Sec. Chick-fil-A: ā€œLook, my wife is an entrepreneurā€¦"

Speaking as a (long-time) business owner, I would just askā€¦

ā€œThen why did she need someone in government to intervene on her behalf in the free market?!ā€

Iā€™m sick and tired of Republicans up to their pasty, white butts in government advantage lecturing everybody else about GOP up-by-your-bootstrapsism, while kvetching about Democrats abusing the government teatā€¦
