Scott Pruitt’s $50-per-night condo looks really Swampy

[DrLove]

Scott Pruitt is a scumbag. Add this to his private, government and first class air travel. Oh and his full time security detail of over THIRTY individuals. Of course the orange boss sets the tone for all this depravity with his 6 million dollar weekend jaunts to Mar-a-Lago.

There has been no shortage of questionable travel arrangements made by President Trump’s Cabinet-level officials. But Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt’s $50-per-night rental agreement is pretty swampy.

Take a look at this first paragraph from the Associated Press’s story, which builds upon reporting from ABC News and Bloomberg:

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency paid just $50 a night to stay in a Capitol Hill condominium linked to a prominent Washington lobbyist whose firm represents a roster of fossil fuel companies.​

So much about this raises red flags.

First off, the rental was per night, rather than monthly. This allowed Pruitt to have a home on Capitol Hill — just blocks from the Capitol, no less — for $6,100 over about six months, according to Bloomberg. Regardless of the size of Pruitt’s room, paying about $1,000 per month to live on Capitol Hill is a deal that is basically impossible to beat — if not unheard-of. And for proof, look no further than Pruitt’s new apartment. Since ending this arrangement, he is living in a building where rents for one bedroom range between $3,100 and $4,500 per month, The Post’s Brady Dennis and Juliet Eilperin report.​

And the republican controlled congress just looks the other way while POTUS apologists praise Trump for "draining the swamp."

No doubt at this point, the smelliest swamp in US history.

Mueller's findings can't come too soon.

Completely agree with you.

'Folks, this may have just crossed into criminal territory. Pruitt & family apparently recd tens of thousands of dollars in luxury housing benefits from wife of lobbyist w/interests b4 EPA— spouses are also prohibited sources. Quid pro quo under 18 usc 201?

Pruitt hidding the fact that he's renting a condo from a lobbyist who's clients are regulated by the EPA is the latest example of the corruption within Trump's administration. It's absurd that Republicans ignore this corruption'

Trump is a scum bag as well, so Pruitt is where he belongs.

If Dear Donald had a lick of sense, he'd fire that ass-bastard immediately.

Sadly, he doesn't

Agreed.

" lick of sense" Mammon is POTUS religion. Nothing he does will make any sense for the USA. He is deliberately undermining all of our federal institutions and ultimately our republic.

You people are truly desperate to find something - anything - you can to smear the president and his appointees. So what if he's paying to stay in an apartment in a private residence? There is absolutely NO PROOF that he's giving out any special considerations or involved in criminal activity.

If there is - PROVE IT?!

Lock him up
