Just listened to Rachael Maddow map out the crooked path that Pruitt walked between the trip to Morocco with his staff and huge security team, first class flights back and forth, a 2-night stay in Paris, so he could go to Morocco and pitch the sale of American liquified gas to several prospective buyers.
Not only does this have nothing to do with his cabinet position at the EPA but the house in which he rented that $50 room in DC was owned by a lobbyist for the only (at the time) American company involved in exporting LNG (Cheniere) and no other than Carl Ichan is heavily invested in the industry.
What a coinky-dink!
Another interesting factoid: Pruitt needed to meet with Ichan before the Trumpster would officially nominate the man for the EPA spot. Guess he passed whatever interview/deal Ichan demanded with flying colors.
Conflict(s) of interest anyone?
This is all in addition to fleecing the taxpayer for Pruitt's $40,000 privacy booth and the 6-figure raises handed out to favorite staff, the money taken from Clean Water funds. Pruitt denies any knowledge of the raises, even though he signed off on them.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Pruitt is the freaking swamp, cesspool and garbage dump all rolled into one.
No wonder the Trumpster loves him.
Incredible.
I'll say it again: if any Democrat tried pulling this shit? They would have been strung up like Christmas lights on the White House lawn.
In Trumplandia? Nada.
