Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    News — Scott Pruitt directly appealed to President Trump this spring to fire Jeff Sessions and let him run the Justice Department instead, offering to temporarily replace him and return to Oklahoma afterward to run for office. https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/03/politics/scott-pruitt-jeff-sessions-trump/index.html …

        Scott Pruitt’s going to get caught with a cooler full of human heads and be like, “We certainly didn’t realize if it was a violation of any rule, but were always looking for ways to improve.”

        It's too bad that since, in theory at least, all elected officials are "employed" by the electorate that the electorate cannot initiate an action to remove an employee or, in this case, the appointee of an an employee who is an employee as well.

        Seems like there’s other folks who could fill that role for Trump though, and have a much higher likelihood of being confirmed by the Senate (Cotton for one)

        Pruitt is waiting in the wings for Sessions to resign or be fired and promised Trump he'd protect him from Mueller. Pruitt must go now.

        That, and Pruitt’s behavior is a great distraction while Trump gets up to other things.

        LOL! Yes, two wrongs always make a right! BTW, Lerner lost her job, McCabe lost his job and pension, Lynch lost her credibility thanks to Bill, Comey lost his job, Clinton lost the Presidency, and Holder, unlike Sessions, didn't lie under oath. What's Pruitt lost...yet?

        Yes, she was investigated heavily - for two years. So intense was the investigation, it appears like a microscope.
