New Documents Show That EPA Chief Scott Pruitt Did Not Face Serious Security Threats

One of the threats made against Scott Pruitt this year: someone drawing a mustache on his face on a Newsweek cover

The Environmental Protection Agency’s internal watchdog launched three investigations this year into potential threats against Scott Pruitt, the agency’s administrator. All three cases were closed due to a lack of evidence that Pruitt had been seriously threatened, according to documents obtained by BuzzFeed News.

One of the threats, made in March, consisted of someone drawing a mustache on Pruitt’s face on the cover of Newsweek and taping the magazine inside of an elevator at an EPA building. The case was closed due to a lack of an “overt threat” against Pruitt.

Another incident characterized as a threat was made on Nov. 8, 2017, by an 85-year-old who sent a letter to the agency on the back of Department of Veterans Affairs letterhead that was riddled with expletives.

“Just read your denial of global warming recently released by the National Academy of Sciences,” the person wrote. “Hope that you & your kind die and choke to death of cancer of the guts, slowly in agony, & rot forever in a toxic sewer in hell forever!”

1. This isn't a threat, its a discription of what will happen if Pruitt pulls his stunt off....

3. After what Pruitt has done and is doing to our country

maybe we could turn that last sentence into a petition.

10. We can change that. We've done it before. After all the EPA came about during a Republican...

administration to begin with. The federal parks system began under another.

Imagine what we could do with a good Democratic President after we give her/him a real Democratic Congress. We are in a position to pull it off, but we have to keep the energy up until Nov 6.

2. Was his expensive cone of silence refrigerated?

Because that man is a very fragile snowflake.

4. Snowflake.

5. Indeed. Put his picture in Webster's.

6. He wanted the security because it made him look like a big shot

9. Exactly. He may also think it makes him look valuable and qualified

He could use his knowledge of the regulations (protections) for the good of the agency. Instead, he does the opposite.

7. Can't be a snowflake. Global warming ended s

then. He is just a flake.
