If he can live with working towards destroying the environment and ruining what we will leave behind for our children and children's children, if he can live with the tremendous suffering and death his actions now will cause down the line, then I am not surprised that this man has no moral compass whatsoever when it comes to any other issues, either.

I am convinced that people in 100 years will look back at people like Pruitt like we look back at people like Goebbels and Himmler today.

Pruitt is the worst kind of corrupt ladder-climbing sociopath I have ever seen. He's the kind of person that could only thrive in a Trump cabinet.

Even Republicans have to realize Pruitt is toxic. Keeping him around does nothing but generate embarrassing stories about his corruption and GOP senators twisting in knots trying to find ways to defend him to the media. Put any other GOP stooge as head of the EPA and you get the same policies and gutting of previous policies. So why keep him around?

Because the GOP has no say in whether he stays or goes. Trump likes him, no one will challenge Trump, and that's the end of the story.

He must have something in common with Trump that he has taken a liking to.

Seriously this is without partisan bias included, the most corrupt and dangerous president and cabinet we've ever encountered. He's surrounded himself with people willing to burn everything down for money and white supremacy.

EPA's Pruitt Made Young Staffers Pay for His Hotel Stays, Then Refused to Reimburse Them
According to former deputy chief of staff Kevin Chmielewski, during the presidential transition one staffer charged approximately $600 to her credit card for a hotel booking for Pruitt's family. The staffer later approached Pruitt's chief of staff to explain that the period for transition reimbursements had expired and that Pruitt had not covered the bill.

As the Hill first reported, Pruitt's chief of staff ended up giving her $600 in cash – out of his own pocket.

"She literally went to Ryan and said, 'Look, Pruitt needs to pay me back for this. It was $600 bucks.' And Ryan took six $100 dollar bills out of his pocket," Chmielewski told the Hill last month.

Scott Pruitt Asked Aides To Find His Wife A $200,000 Job: Report
Samantha Dravis, the EPA's former associate administrator for its Office of Policy, spoke recently with a congressional committee about her work for Pruitt, according to accounts of the interview first reported by The Washington Post. Dravis reportedly said that Pruitt asked her to reach out to the Republican Attorneys General Association, a group Pruitt chaired for two terms while he served as Oklahoma Attorney General, to inquire about a fundraising job he hoped would pay his wife $200,000 or more a year.

Dravis said she declined his request, saying she was worried the call would violate the Hatch Act and that she wanted to avoid potential conflicts of interest. The New York Times also reported the contents of Dravis' congressional interview on Monday, citing people familiar with her account.
Can someone explain to me what type of sociopath this guy is.

The kind that would not feel any empathy or remorse for his behavior.

The level and scale of Pruitt's corruption blasts straight out of reality's atmosphere, rockets past parody and settles gently into orbit around surrealism.

I'm honestly not sure how much longer he can hold out, he's being scrutinised in like 4 different investigations at this point, both congressional and departmental.
Pruitt is absolutely shameless and has Trump's full support because he p much blatantly offered to come in and shut down the Mueller investigation if/when needed. I don't know what would get him to leave at this point. Enough republicans turning on him that impeachment is on the table? FBI investigation w/ criminal charges?

(not sure if typo, but he's being scrutinized in like 14 different investigations)

Trump's keeping him around because Pruitt's the only person who can make Trump's own corruption look relatively slight.

The fact that this leaked and/or hasn't happened yet tells me there was enough blowback that the idea got blocked

You go right on ahead & put this guy in, Trump. It will only make the victory for Democrats all the sweeter & for the GOP to look more worse than they already are.

Space, Man
Trump's keeping him around because Pruitt's the only person who can make Trump's own corruption look relatively slight.

And when he finally fires pruitt, he's gonna make a big twitter deal:

"I alone STOOPED corruption and drained THE swamp when I FIRED pruit. NO collusion!"

His cult will say trump drained corruption, now he has the cleanest admin ever in the history of earth.

The left will be mad. Then its on to the next crazy ass story and news cycle.

Article says Trump's advisers quickly shot it down.

The fact Trump is still keeping him as EPA administrator despite comical amounts of corruption (Pruitt's deregulatory agenda isn't exactly a rarity among Republicans) leads me to suspect that Trump hasn't entirely ruled it out, however, for if/when shit really hits the fan.
