        Interesting comparison: The first EPA chief resigned because he was so ethical, and the current EPA chief resigned because he was so unethical. #Pruitt

        that is among the slyest, smuggest shots of Richard Nixon that I've seen. Did he know something? @dick_nixon

        Wonder what the last straw for Pruitt was. It certainly wasn't being a crook, the Trump admin is apparently okay with that.

        The current administration is much more corrupt and sleazy than Nixon's.

        Oh yes, I think this will end up way worse. But still, so many echoes. I think perhaps the current congress learned from then though that if you just pretend all is well, you might not have to tell your pres to resign.

        History is repeating itself because the criminal in the Oval Office doesn’t know anything about this country’s history. He’s not good at being bad. Btw, Nixon was a lawyer, and he still didn’t outsmart the system....
