Well, I have read that Pruitt drew controversy in the late summer and fall of 2017 over his use of taxpayer funds.

Unlike his predecessors, Pruitt has, as EPA head, regularly flown first or business class on commercial airlines, as well as chartered private jets and military planes at exorbitant costs.

The cost of Pruitt’s seats on those flights are often several times higher than the seats for his accompanying staffers.

In September 2017, it was revealed that Pruitt had used at least $58,000 worth of noncommercial charter flights and military flights during his tenure, and when traveling on commercial airlines had opted for business or first class when those seats were available.

Pruitt’s aides had researched leasing a private jet on a monthly basis for Pruitt’s travel. The estimated cost of this would have been approximately $100,000 per month.

The aides evaluated such expenditures prior to the outbreak of a similar scandal regarding exorbitant travel costs by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, which later led to Price’s resignation.

Big mistake!

Got nabbed by leftist’s Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Rule number 4

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

Appropriate response:

No response...just keep going...

Stop playing into leftist hands.

We on the Right need to create a "strike force" that can take out Democrat administration officials if the Democrats ever control the Executive branch again, since the Media Death Star protects the corrupt Democrats.

It would be dangerous, because the Democrats would use the Federal agencies to target people in the strike force, as they've done with their enemies for many years.

And the Media would actively suppress information about the targeting, while assisting the embattled Dem corruptocrats.
