i know you re on the news side and not editorial, but go ahead and sum up what you ve witnessed. i think there is undeniably a pattern here of abuse of power, of pruitt use yoouzing his office for his own personal gain. at this point, i think all of us have lost track of all the different scandals involving him from using a staffer to run personal errands, including the mattress episode. using his position to try to help his wife secure a business. having a deal with a lobbyist s wife in which he pays $50 a night to rent an apartment in washington, d.c., which despite the white house s claim is way below market rent. to spending taxpayer money to build himself a soundproof booth in his office. the list of allegations just goes on and on and on as you mentioned. there are more than a dozen investigations ongoing right now into his conduct. and what s so encredible number
