We learn from two advisors in today’s Washington Post (paywall) Pruitt’s numerous transgressions exceed anything ever witnessed before.
The totality of Pruitt’s offenses is beyond the pale.
I’ll say. This petty grifter needs to slither back to whatever sh*thole state he’s from and wait for a trial date to be announced.
Meanwhile, courtesy the Guardian (looming paywall), we get a glimpse of how the grifters in the White House used their so-called “charitable foundation” as a personal piggy bank, according to a lawsuit filed by the attorney general of the state of New York earlier today.
Me? I love the quote in the New York Times citing text from the suit itself:
“As our investigation reveals, the Trump Foundation was little more than a checkbook for payments from Mr. Trump or his businesses to nonprofits, regardless of their purpose or legality,” said Barbara D. Underwood, New York’s attorney general…
The article in the Wall Street Journal (paywall) was equally damning:
The lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, calls Mr. Trump’s foundation “little more than an empty shell” and accuses it of repeatedly violating laws that govern charities.
Lastly, we read in an article from the Washington Post:
Underwood also asked that Trump be banned from leading any other New York nonprofit organization for 10 years — seeking to apply a penalty usually reserved for the operators of small-time charity frauds to the president of the United States.
Yup, we’ve got an entire administration full of grifters. Petty, narrow-minded, greedy thieves, all clamoring for every penny they can illegally pilfer from the pockets their fellow Americans. Every single one of these criminals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
