Amen

Another big win. Cleaning up the swamp.

So much winning.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

EPA is it's own super cleanup site

No one could have foreseen putting people that want to destroy the EPA in charge of the EPA could have a bad result.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

"Mr. Kelly, widely known as Kell, was a longtime business associate of Mr. Pruitt’s in his home state of Oklahoma who previously had a banking career before being barred from working in the finance industry"

from another source:
"Last May, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation fined Kelly $125,000, believing he “violated a law or regulation.” The undisclosed incident involved a loan by SpiritBank — which Kelly's family has owned for generations — that was allegedly made without FDIC approval. That July, Kelly was banned from banking for life by the FDIC."

yea, this is not the guy you want running a anything with a budget in the millions/billions

Not sure I'd want this guy bagging my groceries.

And there could be a familiar pattern. It looks like they may have left because they're cooperating with an investigation....

 
More swampiness:

The lobbyist, who helped arrange embattled Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Scott Pruitt's pricey government trip to Morocco last year, now has a $40,000-a-month contract to lobby for the Moroccan government, according to the Washington Post.

The Post reports the trip cost $100,000 -- far more than the $40,000 the EPA initially claimed it cost -- and, citing four individuals familiar with the preparations for the trip, said lobbyist and longtime Pruitt friend Richard Smotkin was intricately involved in the planning of the December 2017 trip. According to federal records first reported by the Post, Smotkin was contracted to lobby for the Moroccan government in April, in an agreement retroactive to January 1 of this year that pays $40,000 a month for 12 months, or $480,000 in total.

Smotkin registered as a foreign agent on April 13, with the "Embassy of Morocco" listed as the foreign principal he will be working for, according to federal records. Smotkin listed his expected political activity as executing a "PR campaign." The Post reported Smotkin attended some of the events on the Morocco trip, and served as a liaison of sorts for much of the trip.

Pruitt's Morocco trip entailed encouraging the North African country to import liquefied natural gas from the U.S., activities that were questioned when Pruitt was grilled on Capitol Hill last week. The purpose of Pruitt's trip to Morocco has also been questioned because Cheniere Energy, currently the sole exporter of liquefied natural gas from the continental U.S., is a lobbying client of the then-firm of Steven Hart. Hart's wife, Vicki Hart, co-owned the condo where Pruitt stayed for more than five months last year for $50 a night, another Pruitt controversy that has garnered attention.

American LNG to Morocco - not sure that makes any sense since Algeria an Nigeria are closer

US isnt even in the top 10 of LNG exporters

https://www.statista.com/...ng-countries-of-lng/

What makes even less sense is the head of the US EPA getting involved in contracts between private LNG companies and the Moroccan government. I smell something fishy, or swampy...

given all this, and the number of people who have already been sacked, why is pruitt still in the job?
