Did he utter the words “complete confidence” yet??

That’s the kiss of death…

Yup, Pruitt is boned. Bringing negative press to the White House is the mark of death for anyone right now

“I can’t speak to the future of Scott Pruitt,” he said to Fox News’ Sandra Smith.

With Trump as President no truer words were ever spoken.  I dare say there is no one anywhere that can speak with authority about the future of anything. The future of the planet as we know it may be 30 minutes in length for all we know.

I know the Koch Bros are pushing hard for Pruitt to keep his job because he has been so good for them in terms of spitting on anything to do with climate change and environmental regs, but the news is so bad for Trump that he needs a scapegoat and Pruitt provides no value to him right now. I would think Pruitt would be gone soon unless he has some other leverage he can use. If he has been collecting secrets on others in the WH, including Trump, and plays those cards he might survive. Perhaps the Koch Bros can drum up something for him. I doubt the Kochs are too fond of the tariff wars, so there may be an angle for them to play.

“I can’t speak to it, because all hiring and firing announcements (including those to the principals) are made by the President himself on Twitter in a fit of pique”

Pruitt better start updating his LinkedIn page and requesting recommendations.

But seriously the swamp was drained and the water replaced with raw sewage…

The person who has taken the strongest action against Russia can’t even fire his own flagrantly corrupt employee face-to-face.

The person who would have run toward the shooter without even a gun can’t fire someone face to face.

I wish I knew how to write - that would make a great title for book.
