Records from the EPA, Secret Service and a terrorism task force fail to back up EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s claims that he faces the kinds of threats that would justify his multimillion-dollar, round-the-clock security detail, two Democratic senators wrote Tuesday when asking for a congressional review of his spending.

Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the ranking member on the Environment and Public Works Committee, and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) wrote to Chairman John Barrasso (D-Wyo.) on Tuesday demanding oversight hearings and citing the non-public documents: an internal EPA review, Secret Service threat assessments and a Joint Terrorism Task Force report.

The Secret Service identified no “reports of behaviors of interest” against Pruitt, and internal reviews dispute “the administrator’s claims that the nature of the threats against him justify his expenditures,” Carper and Whitehouse wrote.

The EPA Office of Homeland Security‘s intelligence team concluded that an earlier threat assessment prepared by Pruitt's security team "DOES NOT employ sound analysis or articulate relevant ‘threat specific’ information appropriate to draw any resource or level of threat conclusions regarding the protection posture for the administrator,” according to a section of the Feb. 14 memo reproduced in the senators' letter (emphasis included). The memo concluded that EPA intelligence officials had "not identified any specific credible direct threat to the EPA administrator," according to the letter.


None of the incidents listed concern air travel, according to the letter. Pruitt’s aides have said he needed to fly first class after encounters with passengers..............

1. He probably wanted all that security just to feel important and to show others

how important he is.

5. Priutt has a big case of paranoia

2. Maybe he just dreamed during a nap on a Wednesday afternoon

You know, when his security had to kick in the door of his $50 a month townhouse.

3. Dems should also send a letter to Mulvaney at OPM

asking that Pruitt's federal wages be garnished to recover the cost of misappropriated US taxpayer dollars.

4. Pruitt afraid of the Shadow

6. Probably afraid of Putin's thugs.

But he certainly can't admit to that now can he?
