A desperate attempt to take off the heat and excuse inexcusable behavior. Corrupt! Swampy!!
Marc Short certainly “thinks” a lot
I think that we campaigned on a promise to drain the swamp
I think that there are certain areas that the administrator would acknowledge were mistakes that he would want to fix.
But I don’t think that you can say that simply delivering on the agenda excuses misuse of taxpayer dollars. I think that many of the things that are still going on with Scott Pruitt are under investigation, and we’re looking at it.
Maybe we should hear those words from Secretary Pruitt himself or is he in a reinforced bunker somewhere because someone glared at him?
Here’s a wild, crazy thought… Perhaps Pruitt could use taxpayer dollars to, you know, protect the environment? I’m surprised no one in this administration has thought of that. Perhaps I should jet on down to D.C. to inform someone. Who’s responsible? Can I just walk in, or do I need an appointment? It’s vitally important that I convey this brilliant insight to those in command.
It would acknowledged by many that the tax dollars that had been spent under the administrator could have been spent in a better fashion by him.
Holy passive voice, Batman.
The Pruitt Scandal has been heating up in the last couple of days. The summary of paragraph leaves out some of the new revelations:
-
Those expensive overseas trips that seemed weird for an EPA admin? Yeah, they were instigated and organized by a lobbyist
-
Said lobbyist got a big contract from the government of Morocco shortly after the trip demonstrated that he was close to the us admin
-
The other energy lobbyist? Pruitt’s landlord-in-law? The one who didn’t have any business before the EPA (besides that one meeting)? Yeah he “advised” Pruitt on appointees to the EPA’s science advisory panel
Links to stories laying out the new facts in detail:
Trump’s main defense of Pruitt has been the work the administrator has done to roll back regulations,
This is similar to “Evangelical Christians” statements regarding Trump, we don’t care if he acts bad in every other way he is good because of this one thing. NO, it does not work that way kiddies, if he is bad in every other way it is because he is bad, and what he is doing that you find “good” is probably done for bad reasons. Drain the swamp? We need to hit reset on this administration and undo every appointment and every roll back and put a competent professional in charge, like most of us chose.
