Rob Porter Is Source of Leaks About Pruitt

Former White House aide Rob Porter “is reportedly a source of information about EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s ethical transgressions that are threatening his future at the agency, after Porter’s relationship with a top former Pruitt aide soured,” Inside EPA reports.

“Porter did not respond to requests for comment but two sources say he leaked information about Pruitt after Samantha Dravis, his former girlfriend resigned last week.”

Busy guy.

He had access to a lot of info. Maybe he leaked other stuff, too.

Only Democrats are limited to one girlfriend or wife. Otherwise, they're forced to resign in shame or face the wrath of the republican controlled media and the bible thumpers.

If the Republican gets caught, he can take campaign funds to buy off the girlfriend, right? Gotcha!

8. Okay wait. So Spanky maybe wants Pruitt to replace Sessions, and then Pruitt can fire

Rod Rosenstein....it’s a theory being floated, eh

But Spanky LOVES Porter, who now works on his 2020 campaign

Uhh...so if Porter is trying to take Pruitt out of the game altogether, doesn’t this scenario have him working AGAINST Spanky’s wishes?

Oy vey

If they want to shoot each other in the back let them, shit I'll hold their coats for them.

Eating their own, it's come to that and couldn't be at a better time.
