Scott Pruitt is more arrogant than Donald Trump. He has committed criminal violations for over one year, and has refused to hide the truth. He obviously believes that he is above the law.

The truth is that he should have been arrested months ago and be awaiting a trial date as I write this article. He has embezzled tens of thousands of dollars from American Taxpayers. He worked for a lobbyist while in public office; appointed by an illegitimate president; a conflict of interests which is an undeniable criminal offense.

While the Attorney General of Oklahoma, he virtually told the people of his state to f**k off as he became a tool of the petroleum industry. He is playing the same game in Washington today.

There is no question about the fact that our justice system is extremely flawed. The truth is that if any real American had committed crimes similar to those of Scott Pruitt, he would be serving a minimum of 25 years in prison today. In America, if your are rich, powerful, or both, you are rarely punished for your crimes. This is the situation with both Trump and Pruitt.

According to reports from inside the White House, the Trump administration is moving away from Pruitt. Republican lawmakers and other conservative groups have been warned to ‘back away’ from supporting the head of the EPA. It appears that Trump is removing his protection of this obvious criminal.

The reason for a change in Trump’s position is likely based on Pruitt’s condemnation from several Republican legislators and the entire Democratic Party.

It’s the “president’s decision to make” whether Pruitt should stay, said John Thune, of South Dakota, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate. “They have to resolve this and get those questions answered,” he added. “I don’t think they’re probably going away.”

Corruption is standard operating procedure for the Trump administration. This is the most expensive group ever to defile the White House. It begins at the top. It has been confirmed that Trump and his white trash family have been spending more than $16,000,000 every month to continue their lives of luxury. Trump’s many trips to his millionaire’s only resorts have been the most costly. Air Force One costs taxpayers $200,000 per hour when in operation. The cost of food, housing, overtime and other expenses for Secret Service protection adds tens-of-thousands of dollars to these extravagant and unnecessary excursions. Trump is serving himself; not the American people.

Where are the conservatives who screamed about President Obama’s vacations to Hawaii or other trips for his family? Trump and his spawn are spending ten times the amount of taxpayer money the Obama’s spent during eight years; Trump has been in office for one year, three months, and four days.

Pruitt, Mnuchin, and others are following the example of their fuhrer. They believe that they have the right to spend any amount of money because they are privileged and are too important to travel with the ‘people.’ They do not serve us; they rule over us.

Trump’s illegitimate presidency has produced a plutocracy; a veritable monarchy. He and his circle of sinners are too expensive to be allowed to remain in Washington. Because Republicans are offering him their unbridled support, and ignoring a level of corruption never seen before, they must also be banned from Washington.
