          Why is the EPA document so vague? This is ridiculous. "... which is a reasonable market value," the memo, such as it is, concludes — without any reference to what space (not even how many rooms, how much space) was leased.

          And, Bloomberg reported that "Someone else rented the other bedroom," when it, per ABC, was Pruitt's daughter. So, no one is perfect today.

          (Also, while you're technically right, I didn't read either as meaning exactly the words they used — like, Bloomberg was basically portraying him as only having access to the room, and ABC was rebutting that with evidence they used the condo as a home.)

          It’s very confusing watch the media go after Pruit over this when our last SOS was running a foundation taking in million in foreign donations and had her foundation President setting State Dept meeting and awarding big donors with positions at State. Odd media was silent on that

          So you’re admitting the media covered for real corruption and crimes while trying to exploit a person renting a room and insinuate this is corrupt without pointing to any action? Interesting. Media wonders why it has no credibility.
