Scott Pruitt asked to use sirens in D.C. traffic and was told no for non-emergency

President Trump told us his selections wouldn’t behave like swampthings....What uranium did Pruitt sell?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

What I want to know is; why does the Director of the EPA needs a SS detail?

Pruitt and DeVos have been dealing with mounting personal threats. Everywhere they go they are greeted with protests, and often times arrests. While I'd like to see the EPA eliminated, Pruitt is effectively disarming this department.

[Lisbon1940]

If they slide him over to Justice he can use the sirens.

[Stingray51]

Pruitt absolutely needs 24/7 security. There is a certain kind of Lefty nut for whom he is up there with the President and Vice President on the list of people they hate the most.

[AU72]

Full court MSM press on Pruitt.

You have to be kidding

Pruitt is rolling back the entire Obama EPA agenda and is focus of anger for every Green zealot and global warming nut on the planet

Pruitt is a self-aggrandizing (demands sirens to get him around DC),
lying (said he knew nothing about sixty-percent pay raises for two of his toadies),
profligate (trying to use military jets for his travels)
poltroon who should have been fired already.

I have no problem with the 24/7 security for the Secretary—it is needed.

The siren is not appropriate unless there is an immediate security threat at that location and escape is the right move.

It’s not just the extremes like selling uranium. Pruitt (if this is true) put himself above the law. Can’t have that.

[BobL]

“...unprecedented 24-hour Protective Service Detail.”

The guy probably gets more death threats than even Trump. But once again, THEY control the media so they can make it seem like he’s a bit ‘paranoid’.

[NorthMountain]

Sources tell CBS FAKE News

[Drew68]

Pruitt is a self-aggrandizing...

Pruitt can dress like Aladdin and have a damn taxpayer-funded harem of nubile beauties hand-feeding him grapes for all I care as long as he keeps doing the jobs he's been doing erasing the economically-devastating environmental regulations the Left has cursed us with.

[Albion Wilde]

Special Agent Eric Weese, a 16-year veteran of the EPA, was replaced by Pasquale "Nino" Perotta.

What, he thought the Italian would be a little more willing to break the law? Racist.

[WASCWatch]

The agent has had the position for 18 years. You can pretty much infer that he is a liberal and may have been a source of leaks from the EPA.

[GnuThere]

Rabid enviros are batsh!t crazy.
Don't think they don't dream of assassination plots.

[Hot Tabasco]

And there is no such thing as an emergency situation as it relates to the job of a bureaucrat at the EPA - even the guy in charge.

Once again, no names, just "sources"........Maybe you have a source?

[WayneS]

What in the name of God are you talking about? I didn’t write the f—king article, I merely responded to it.

[SoFloFreeper]

Oh, he wanted to do what cops do ALL THE TIME?!

What a horror.

[Engedi]

Valerie Jarrett got security 24/7 because she stated she was threatened.

[Pining_4_TX]

Even if he is, he’s our petty privileged a-hole. He is saving us from the destruction of our economy and standard of living.
