Close But No Cigar
Well, I am certain that this is merely coincidence, but here’s how this happened.
EPA Chief Scott Pruitt, who is a Trump Best Leader, has come under fire recently for a bunch of stuff including slapping Trump in the face for overruling the decision to give enormous pay raises to two of his Oklahoma friends by giving them raises with a little trick maneuvering.
On Fox News, Pruitt denied that he knew anything about it.
Pruitt denied his knowledge of the raises in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, and said the appropriate person who had signed off on the raises would be dealt with.
The very next day, Samantha Dravis, the senior counsel and associate administrator in EPA’s Office of Policy, resigned.
The source described the relationship between Pruitt and Dravis as a close friendship, saying the aide was Pruitt’s “best friend” and someone he had dinner with “several times every week.”
Also, come to find out, she is the former girlfriend of Rob Porter and she was the one who made the call to Don McGahn about the abuse complaints by Porter’s two ex-wives.
You know, swampy things.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Okay, this has gotten way out of hand.
I can no longer keep track of all these characters without a program. And a plot synopsis. And wall charts.
1I can see it now: In 50 years a well-respected historian will take on the task of writing the from a distance story of Spanky Drumpf’s mal-administration. He’ll write it from the six degrees of separation concept, much like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game. Every one of these scum are inter-connected. Of course.
2Too bad she’s gone. Looks like she was “slowly but shirley” getting rid of the slime off the pond. A Soros plant, in that over-grown swamp?
3Ok now, if this was a daytime soap we would all be tuning out. The relationships are too confusing. Back in the old days when I did ( along with others) watch some soaps I had to stop because every character was once married to or sleeping with every other character on the show. This administration is like Jerry Springer show!
4Maymoon, you said! On my side of the path we figured that when Trump got “elected” the Sopranos were in the White House. Springer? Just as good! Or bad! However you want to look at it. And, yes, trying to keep up with the shenanigans at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would wear out a XXX daredevil!
5I’m pretty sure that when they get to the bottom of Pruitt’s “passing out” at the rental apartment, it will turn out he WANTED to hide from his security detail, with, you know, someone.
