Scott Pruitt stood out for his unprecedented corruption, mismanagement, and scandal, and Donald Trump's toleration of them.

Kirstjen Nielsen is still Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security, despite her outright lying to the American public about the Administration's family separation policy. 2/
Ryan Zinke, "Scott Pruitt's Scandal Clone," is still Trump's Secretary of the Interior, despite ongoing ethics woes including unexplained, shady real estate dealings with Halliburton. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/148017…

GOP leaders are not holding hearings on any of Trump's cabinet corruption.
Speaker Ryan saying he didn't even know about Pruitt' corruption is the perfect symbol of how they shrug off oversight.
