Special Counsel Investigating Pruitt Because It's Monday

Stephen Robinson
June 25, 2018 11:50 AM

Scott Pruitt has been busy crooking up a storm since he became head of the Environmental Protection Agency, which he has dedicated his life to destroying. He's managed to stay under the radar somewhat because he works for an administration that kidnaps children ... It also helps that Congressional Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, routinely claim ignorance of his existence.

Unfortunately for Pruitt, the Office of Special Counsel is very much aware he exists.

... EPA staffers objected to Pruitt's plan to devote more resources to his own protection than to the environment's. Pruitt likely also moved quickly to staunch a potential mutiny over his perfectly normal hobby of collecting used mattresses ...

... I guess the heat is still on. The failing New York Times reported Sunday that the "sweetheart condo deal" (apparently an official legal term because everyone seems to refer to it that way) might've been scuzzier than we ever imagined ...

The Office of Special Counsel is entirely different than the Special Counsel appointed for the Russia probe.
