Lol. Of course this was true. Pruitt still wanted to be AG!
Fair addendum —>
My point was just that of course it was not true that Pruitt chose to resign of his own volition. The “wanting to be AG” was an example of the evidence he wouldn’t have done so. / @maggieNYT

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

@Jim_Jordan 1/ Many Dossier claims PROVEN (RUS had Clinton dirt, wanted Trump to win, meddling led by Putin, Cohen went to Prague, RUS diplomat was spy, Page met with Russians, Manafort being paid for Ukraine work, etc.)
NONE disproven.
@Jim_Jordan 2/ FISA App CLEARLY stated dossier was born of opposition research. As it's SOP to minimize names and organizations, it would have been malpractice to mention Clinton campaign by name.
If you don't know this, then you need to STFU. If you do know this, then you need to STFU.
@Jim_Jordan 3. Talking about one's personal work is not "leaking."

At best, you're tragically ignorant. Middle ground is you're being wilfully dishonest. At worst, you're a flat-out traitor to your country.
Regardless, you're a disgrace, and have ZERO business governing.

Opinion | If you work for Trump, quit now wapo.st/2mjNWuW?tid=ss… Staffers, Kelly, Pence, Mnuchin, Haspel, Coats, Sessions, Ross, O'Rourke, Mattis, Pompeo: #RESIGN
Whatever fantasy you had about saving the country by containing Trump's worst impulses was utter self-delusion. The only good you can do for your country now is to resign. Preferably, all together, in a single news conference.
You are *not* the only thing standing between Trump and his worst impulses. You are *not* obliged to stay in place because otherwise you'll be replaced by even more irresponsible toadies and flunkies. You *are* those toadies and flunkies: He doesn't listen to a word you say.

PRUITT CHOSE TO RESIGN, Trump said on the record on AF1.

“No final straw.”

“He came to me and he said look I have such great confidence in the administration I don’t want to be a distraction and I think Scott felt that he was a distraction.”

“It was very much up to him.”
TARIFFS ON CHINA GOODS WILL GO FORWARD JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, Trump told us on AF1, as the world braces for trade war.
Trump told us North Korea was close to war under Obama.

“You can ask President Obama—he was very close to going to war. And you would’ve lost 50 million people plus.”

He said in “8 months you’ve not had one rocket launch, missile launch and you haven’t had one nuclear attack.”

Le pécule pour les enfants placés, vous en avez entendu parler ? Non. Parce que globalement, on va pas se mentir, la protection de l’enfance, tout le monde s’en fout.
Bah je vais vous en parler et vous expliquer de quoi il s’agit, parce qu’il serait question de revenir sur cette dispositif de la loi protection de l’enfance votée en mars 2016.
Vous verrez au passage que c’est intéressant de voir dans quel genre d’alternative on se trouve pris quand on est obligé de réfléchir à budget de pénurie constant. #thread
