The Democrats and their media enablers have been on the warpath against EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt pretty much since the day he was nominated for the post. You've no doubt seen the headlines and panel discussions which regularly discuss the "scandal-plagued" cabinet department. But this week, the latest demands from Democrats (eagerly picked up on cable news) for yet another investigation into Pruitt's activities have truly sunk to a new low.
You probably recall the brouhaha raised over Pruitt's "housing problem" which was turned into a "scandal" after it was discovered that he managed to get too good of a deal on a room he was renting from friends when he first arrived in Washington. (This may be the first time on record that the media complained about a government official not spending enough money.) That arrangement only lasted until he was ready to bring his family out to the Beltway and then he had to seek a new apartment for all of them. So this week the Democrats called for an investigation into whether or not one of his aides (who is also a friend) helped Pruitt find the new apartment and if that help constituted an unlawful "gift."
Are we actually going to find people who will take this question seriously? ...
All of this has led to one media or Democratic investigation after another. You'll recall when the press turned Pruitt's trip to the G-7 in Italy into a scandal over how much it cost while ignoring the fact that his predecessor in the Obama administration took the exact same trip at nearly twice the price. But this latest question really takes the cake. If you want to begin looking into illegal gifts, has anyone been keeping tabs on all of the free opposition research and deceptive advertising the Washington Post, the New York Times and MSNBC have been doing for the DNC during the runup to the 2018 and 2020 elections? Those kinds of services don't come cheap in the private sector and it's looking more and more like an in-kind contribution to the Democrats at this point.
