    How could you think that using position abuse power in order for him and his cronies to make money is the same as using government power to enact his own agenda?

    It sounds like this antideficiency law that Pruitt supposedly broke has no prescribed remedy. Is the only penalty bad press?

    Your tax dollars at work... but hey, they were really really nice pens. Probably used to cut more environmental regulations.

    EPA spent $1,560 on customized fountain pens for Pruitt: emails

    Shocker! Lobbyist that rented Pruitt the apartment for a sweet deal did lobby with the EPA despite original claims they didn't.

    Firm discloses more EPA lobbying by advocate with ties to Pruitt condo rental

    used mattress, that's just gross. I was watching Erin Brokovich for the first time on TBS last week when I thought, why do we have white old morally corrupt pervs leading the EPA and other vital agencies. Why can't we have more Erin Brokoviches? Perfect tops accenting the cleavage area and tremendously like really smart. Give me more Brokoviches and less devos.

    It's interesting podesta was crucified by progs and libs after leaks that he cherry picked cabinet members before O was sworn in, yet con partisans have no prob with Trump when his handlers did the exact same thing with the cabinet and scotus.

    We're not even taking about ethics and the morality of the candidates. Hell, I bet pruitt is praised for "doing work" even if that means self serving destruction of taxpayer assets.

    Just reveals how outrage is effective, in what medium, and to whom that medium is consumed. Russians already knew that nugget.

    It's not only the message but also who the messenger is.

    Pruitt is so cartoonishly corrupt it's just insane man.

    I guess in the Trump administration, since it's bizarro world, it's good to be stupid and corrupt and venal to the extent that you even rival your boss?

    Keep firing people in the EPA and reducing government regulations Pruitt. Even if he resigns others will
    do the same.

    The panic is that government agencies are no longer being used as tools for climate nutjobs so the Washington
    super libs are rising up against them.

    Keep chopping off government parts and let consumers, business and the law decide commerce.
    Not appointed bureaucrats.
