Ms. Dravis departure comes on the heels of questions raised by Senator Thomas Carper, a Democrat from Delaware, about her work history.
According to a letter that Mr. Carper sent to the E.P.A. inspector general, Ms. Dravis did not attend work or perform her duties for most of November, December and January while continuing to draw a salary. The March 28 letter, obtained by The New York Times, said the information raises questions about whether the agency is adhering to internal rules regarding employee time and attendance.

My mistake for thinking it was an "old" term.
You know if it happened at this one agency, it probably happened at others, and mos likely at her earlier "jobs" with Pruitt.
Esp. that "president of the Rule of Law Defense Fund" in her supposed work history.
We remember that Trump's WH crony, Omerosa, had no job duties and WH people said they had no clue what she was doing, she had no office.

Didn't she know that she could have just asked Michael Cohen for $130,000? Now she might have to answer a whole bunch of inconvenient questions.
