With a name like Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta, the last thing you want to do is to run a security company.

He added: “[B]ut has anyone mentioned that I served with honor and distinction the Obama Administration? I served two former Administrators and now to end my career this way is totally unacceptable.”

Having you step into the path of a DC transit bus was planned as a going away present, but Jackie at the front desk accidentally deleted the e-mail asking her to make the arrangements.

Gee, he sure seemed nice enough.

I’m sure all of Pruitt’s wasteful spending, conflicts of interest, corruption and disgusting behavior will now come to an abrupt end.

To say that he had no clue of what he was getting into is an understatement.

Kevin Chmielewski, the EPA’s former deputy chief of staff and now a whistleblower who claims he and others were retaliated against for raising concerns about Pruitt’s spending, told lawmakers last month that Perrotta threatened him in an effort to retrieve his EPA parking pass.

Harsh measures are needed to protect The Pruitt in these troubling times.

I used to do a lot of business with Reuben Sturman. Perrotta couldn’t butter his toast.

[quote]Late last month, Perrotta told the New York Times he was “retiring as planned” in the Summer.

He added: “[B]ut has anyone mentioned that I served with honor and distinction the Obama Administration? I served two former Administrators and now to end my career this way is totally unacceptable.”[/quote]

Yet another example of someone who was kept in check by the ethical standards of the Obama Administration, and whose natural inclinations were unleashed by the ethical wasteland of the Trump administration.

It all comes from the top.

Genius! He tries to save his reputation by pointing out that the Obama Administration was higher-class and had more integrity than could be said for T rump.

I expect the exit of Pruitt and his timeout booth to be Friday afternoon’s news.

Answering lawmakers’ questions, Pruitt spread blame to Perrotta and other top aides for expenditures

The latest example of the party of personal responsibility passing the buck on questions regarding the party’s claim of fiscal responsibility.

Oh honest to God. This ‘I worked for Obama!’ defense is wearing a little thin. AND Pruitt had a $43000 phone booth installed for security and STILL had to hire someone to sweep his office? How paranoid do you have to BE???

He sounds pissed. May be he will tell all about how he moved from serving with honor and distinction - to allegedly being the mastermind and orchestrator of all of Pruitt’s Graft. Do tell us, sir.

so…does this mean that perhaps all of this over-expenditure on security is due to Pruitt’s stupidity rather than extreme paranoia? I guess this would fit with my overall impression of his intellect.

I wonder how much of this might have something to do with a coverup regarding Spanky’s official physical results and the ex-WH physician’s investigation by the Pentagon?

Who cares about Pruitt’s Security Chief? When does Pruitt go? Why isn’t Pruitt gone?
