The attacks on Trump cabinet officials intensify in direct proportion to the effectiveness of the policies they advocate. Scott Pruitt, Trump’s EPA administrator, is Exhibit A of this phenomenon. Because he is preventing green ideologues at the EPA from harassing businesses, because he is at the forefront of Trump’s deregulatory successes, the Sierra Club and other left-wing groups organized a smear campaign against him. That campaign has culminated in the show trial of grandstanding Congressmen who feign outrage at Pruitt’s lack of “ethics.” . . . snip
The point of all of this propaganda is to make the Trump administration go wobbly on deregulation. The Democrats know they must turn Trump’s strengths into weaknesses, and scalping Pruitt is essential to that task. The more that the economy grows, the harder it is for them to reclaim power. They don’t go to the trouble of staging show trials and smearing people who are ineffective. They want Pruitt out and a more feckless and cowed figure put in. The only question now is: Will the GOP join the lynch mob or stop it?

there were several stupid/bought Republicans bashing Pruit at the show trial "hearing". It was despicable. But the Carbon Tax globalists have a LOT of $$$ to throw at corruptible politicians.

A timely article has appeared just hours after our discussion about political corruption at the EPA.
“The Scott Pruitt Show Trial”
more power to you, Mr. Pruitt.
Thanks for the ping. Good article.
“The point of all of this propaganda is to make the Trump administration go wobbly on deregulation.”
I’m sending a hand written letter to Trump today, and calling my congress critters. We all need to support Pruitt right now, when they smell blood in the water.
I find it hard to believe that Trump couldn’t find someone just as capable of cutting regulations at the EPA without the arrogant behavior and the baggage of Pruitt.
The Sierra Club takes money from the Russians, for real. Congress recently released a report on it. It’s espionage. The goal is to stop the USA from unleashing unbridled capitalism, by any means necessary.
