Despite former administrator Scott Pruitt’s departure from the EPA, investigators will continue to look into the more than a dozen probes launched due to his management and spending behavior while in office.
According to a Friday Politico report, as many as four reports from the EPA’s inspector general will be released this summer. An investigation into Pruitt’s 24/7 security detail may be completed as early as this month.
If the IG finds illegal activity, it would fall to Attorney General Jeff Sessions to decide whether or not to prosecute.
Alleged scandals that emerged in his last week, including a secret calendar and using his aides to secure his wife a high-paying job, may exacerbate Pruitt’s existing woes.
Only four?
I don’t know much, but I can find more then four.
The best one might expect from this is total destruction of Pruitt’s upcoming desired political career. Even so, this will make him a very attractive private-sector lobbyist. This is how The Swamp functions…it never drains; it just expands.
Yay! About time.
And the odds of Sessions prosecuting… nil
WOW - 4 IG reports!!! That ought to show those guys. Maybe we can get a nun to smack his hand with a ruler.
