Pruitt? Who's Pruitt?

Coffee boy.

NOTHING makes you as much as an outcast in the Trump administration as making Trump look bad. Two weeks ago, it looked like he'd be replacing Jefferson (Davis) Sessions about now.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Rosentein's name has come up.

Memo shows Mueller explicitly tasked with Manafort-Russia collusion claims
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...tigation-scope

It appears that Rosenstein, by explicitly casting the net so wide, was out to get Manafort, and why would he want to do that if not to get Trump himself through Manafort? It's so Deep State it's positively abyssal.

Rosenstein next.

Don't think I ever met the man. Pruitt? Odd name, I'm sure I'd have remembered it. What is that, a Baltic name? Don't recall ever meeting any Balic people.

I met some Balkan people earlier, fine people, very sound on the Fake Media issue.

Or could it be Mike Cohen, the suck-up but dispensable lawyer being thrown to the wolves?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...payment-denial

Two points, the denial came from Trump so he knew about the payment. If we go through the motions of believing Trump, Cohen is in some trouble for campaign finance law violations.

I was wondering about the same thing.

After all, Trump just threw Michael Cohen (his own lawyer) under the bus at a time when Trump is having a difficult time retaining his own law team in order to deal with the Muller investigation.

I guess Trump really does hate lawyers even when he sorely needs lawyers.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kellyyyyyyy!
CNN has taken to calling the end of the week "Firing Friday", or "FireDay".

I think Pruitt is next up in the batter's box or the on deck circle. Did you see the way Fox News tore into him?

Just this week The PDJT talked about replacing Kelly with Pruitt, so Pruitt my be one rung higher.

So they're both gone?

And the chief of staff doesn't have to get confirmed by the Senate.

I think even Donnie knows that after the lastest scandals Pruitt would not stand a chance of being approved as AG,so Chief of Staff is a possibility.Thing is, in any other administration Pruitt would have been gone by now.

In any other administration Trump would have been gone by now.
:p

The landlords were unable to get Pruitt out of the condo, so they changed the locks. <laughing dog goes here>

I think I saw somewhere that he wouldn't have to be approved for AG because he was already approved for EPA and can move to another cabinet-level position without further Senate action. Can anyone verify?

What is Scott Pruitt afraid of?

Should I be afraid of it too?

He's worried about radical treehugging terrorists, of course. Environmentalists = terrorists has been a right wing meme for quite a while now.

I am familiar with examples of animal rights terrorism, but I'm drawing a blank on environmental terrorism. There must be some, since most movements have extremists. Anyone?

I don't count the Unabomber.

Thank you, coulda found that my damn self, were I clever.

He's actually listed in the Wiki article. My point, however, is that it's been popular among some sectors of the far right to label ALL environmentalists as terrorists.

In his particular case one could almost wish he was right.

Well, there was the Monkeywrench Gang, but they were fictitious.

Were they Zamibians involved in the bowling green massacre protesting against the environmental damage of covfee plantations?

No.

Cohen's place has been dawn-raided on behalf of Mueller. Donny gets all hot and bothered about "national security" or somesuch. Cohen is obviously sinking deeper. How long before Donny cuts the rope?

Too soon to pick Trump?

White House Survivor
 

This made me giggle

JUST IN: White House Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert has resigned, Press Sec. Sarah Sanders says.

"President Trump thanks him for his patriotic service and wishes him well.”

Quite the dark horse candidate for the next WH .... un-survivor. :)

any indication why?
Did Trump just fish his name out of a bowl because he desperately needed to fire someone to make himself feel better?

Bloomberg is reporting that he was asked to resign by John Bolton.

This is worrisome.
Bolton has a reputation for getting rid of everyone who disagrees with him.

And another one off the island - Michael Anton, national security spokesman. Courtesy of Bolton as well.

Bolton likes to be surrounded by yes men.
Trump likes to be surrounded by yes men.

2 peas in a pod.

At some point, will someone remind Bolton that Trump made a big deal (at least in the campaign) about how he was opposed to the war in Iraq?

Maybe Bolton will fire him for his lack of loyalty?

Rumblings over at Justice again. Rosenstein and Sessions in the cross-hairs again.

"[T]rying to put greater limits" on the special counsel is such a polite way of saying "obstructing justice" in the only federal criminal investigation into election meddling by foreign agents and their domestic collaborators.

It does not count since Trump can't fire him, but some kind of honorable mention needs to be given to Paul Ryan,since I have a feeling that dealing with Trump is a major reason he is abandoning ship...
