quote:

Three months after Scott Pruitt was sworn in as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, his executive scheduler emailed Dan Cathy, chairman and president of the fast food company Chick-fil-A, with an unusual request: Would Cathy meet with Pruitt to discuss “a potential business opportunity”? A call was arranged, then canceled, and Pruitt eventually spoke with someone from the company’s legal department. Only then did he reveal the “opportunity” on his mind was a job for his wife, Marlyn. “The subject of that phone call was an expression of interest in his wife becoming a Chick-fil-A franchisee,” company representative Carrie Kurlander told The Washington Post via email.

If that's the worst kind of 'abuse' that a bureaucrat can think of, then I'm relieved.

Because the EPA has direct oversight over Chick-fil-a.

What an idiot.

So he made a call then said wait let's ask an attorney. Attorney most likely said wtf are you doing and he canceled everything.

The end.

A guy's secretary called someone to set up a personal appointment that never happened? The horror!

:facepalm:

He is an idiot but I don’t believe that is illegal.

If so, most of the Dem caucus would be behind bars.

You got him now!

Amazing how close he is to the strike zone, the crazier the shite against him gets.

He is undoing years of anti-business regulations and the snowflakes don't like it.

Elections have consequences. NP

That’s a good little drone, someone’s gotta patrol the board 24/7 for any sign of dissent.


defend and deflect, Defend and Deflect, DEFEND and DEFLECT!

Good job worker bee









As it pertains to the thread, this is an objectively shitty thing to do. Pruitt certainly knows better. Nobody is going to gun for Trump’s job over this, but Pruitt needs to be called out for it. Nobody should want our public servants using their position to enrich themselves.

I don't disagree at all. It's pretty slimy. But trying to arrange for a franchise with an unrelated business to your regulatory oversight isn't all that awful, in the relative scheme of graft and impropriety, if you ask me.

They probably shouldn't use their office to do so and he's kind of a dumbass for doing it.... but who really gives a shite?

Did you an AUbused ever sort out that whole Gowdy discussion or did you just decide to bail on it entirely?
