WTF??!!

The Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of expanding its security fleet for Secretary Scott Pruitt with the hiring of an additional 12 officers, which moves the total number of agents guarding Pruitt to 30, CNN reported Monday.

The move will cost the department an additional $2 million a year, not including training, equipment or travel, according to CNN. No previous EPA chief has received this level of around-the-clock protection, the department’s inspector general told CNN, but Pruitt has reportedly received more death threats than any of his predecessors.

I don't care. Thirty!??!

“The EPA is a lightning rod. We get threats from both sides of the spectrum,” assistant inspector general Patrick Sullivan told CNN.

And that has not changed just for this asshat.

Last month, The Washington Post reported that the EPA spent nearly $25,000 on building Pruitt a sound-proof “privacy booth” for secure phone calls.

OMG. Not even The Most Notable Loser has a sound-proof privacy booth. Does he?

Pruitt already had an unprecedented number of security officers before CNN learned of the new hires. The department reportedly had to pull officers who typically investigate environmental crimes to his security detail.

No. No, it didn't HAVE to. The whole point of putting this asshat (who's already under the microscope for his travel expediture extravaganzas) at the helm of the EPA was to stop the agency from doing its job. THAT's why they pulled them.

The latest security spending increase comes as the agency has announced plans to cut its budget by 30 percent.

Bingo.  Soon they'll have no money at all for actually trying to protect the environment.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
