The investigations into scotty will continue, let him rot in jail for as long as it takes to undo his mess and pay for his financial transgressions

[InsanityHere]

What is it with people these days? Why can't people just do the right thing, anyway, and avoid all kinds of conflict?

Scott Pruitt, best of wishes into future forays into your world of corruption and embezzlement. Don’t slam the door behind you.

[hamishwishart]

Finally, the swamp monster has left the EPA. Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

The Mysterious Case of Scott Pruitt (aka Fruit Basket)

It's too easy when it comes to Scott Pruitt
To make fun - he is such low hanging Fruitt
His means of climate repair
Is just to fly everywhere
The environment's broke? He'll just glue it!

... Oh darn it, it seems he just blew it!

[bathtub_jim]

"All the best people" are dropping like flies.

[bathtub_jim]

Now Pruitt can go off on his own and start a new organization and call it the ERA
Environmental Rejection Agency.

[mosshark]

These are "the best" people Trump could pick.

[lindataylor]

do you really think Scott's replacement will veer from the path already established by trump?

[johnedwardjones]

A good news week. Cohen let's go of The Don Pruitt resigns.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Bad news a new fool in EPA.

[daverees]

The Grand Ship of State, she takes space and time to turn....Especially under Captain Donnie. Particularly when a coal lobbyist becomes EPA chief. Stay tuned to see if a Coal Guy is any preferable to an Oil & Gas Guy ...

[annchristine]

Pruitt was likely asked to leave but here's the rub, Wheeler is no better so there will be NO CHANGE in at this agency.Americans must continue to follow this department very carefully and be aware that bad things are going to continue to come out of this agency!People power can make positive things happen.We have proved this by ousting Pruitt.

[sulebo]

Bwahahahaha! Pruitt was terrified of being acosted by people and was so intimidated by a very nice mother with a 2 year old in her arms that he couldn't take it anymore. His massive security detail couldn't help him with the fear of talking to someone nice and normal.

[TheDarkDresser]

All he had to do was quit to stop the investigation. No repaying the money he stole from taxpayers. No penalty. Nothing.

[janeguarnera]

A dedicated young Republican who could not stomach Pruitt's lack of dedication to the public trust was willing to bring the truth of abuse he witnessed in Pruitt's conduct to the American public at the expense of his career...Whether conservative or liberal I'm in admiration of our youth finding their backbone. Bravo!

[imjustsayin]

Will someone please check his pockets before he leaves?

[YZW]

One swamp monster gone, many to go. I shudder to think what will replace it. The fish rots from the head.

[sharonolsen]

EPA Environmental Poisoning Agency ! smh !

[patrickdillon]

Lock pruitt up! He deserves nothing less. SAD!

[jean-pierrebeaujeu]

So, the Environmental Protection Agency continues to be transformed into the Environmental Destruction Agency...
