EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt “directly appealed to President Trump this spring to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and let him run the Department of Justice instead,” CNN reports.
“In an Oval Office conversation with Trump, Pruitt offered to temporarily replace Sessions for 210 days under the Vacancies Reform Act, telling the President he would return to Oklahoma afterward to run for office.”
“Advisers quickly shot down the proposal, but it came at a time when Trump’s frustration with Sessions over his decision to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia investigation had resurfaced.”
You have convinced me with your words on image with large font. The evidence was overwhelming.
It's such a large crime family that 30 years of investigations by Republicans hasn't led to a single charge against them, not even Trump's DOJ could find ANYTHING to charge them with.

Official: Pruitt 'inching forward to the tipping point'

Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt, facing additional reporting about his many controversies, is "inching forward to the tipping point," a senior administration official said.
The official, describing the feeling within the administration towards Pruitt, wondered whether the EPA administrator would still hold his job as he could crop up in Democratic candidates' ads hitting President Donald Trump's "swamp."
Ultimately, the decision is with Trump.
White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters on Tuesday that Trump is looking into the "numerous reports" about Pruitt.
"The President feels as though Scott Pruitt has done a really good job with deregulating the government, to allow for a thriving economy, that's important to him, but these things matter to the President as well, and he's looking into those," Gidley said. "When we have an announcement, we'll make it."
Trump said in early June that Pruitt was "doing a great job within the walls of the EPA," while acknowledging his EPA chief's mounting controversies.
"I mean, we're setting records," Trump said. "Outside, he's being attacked very viciously by the press. I'm not saying that he's blameless, but we'll see what happens."
But the remark from the administration official underscores growing concern about Pruitt as recent reporting highlights accounts from aides about his conduct and use of aides for personal errands.
Kevin Chmielewski, former deputy chief of staff for operations, is expected to testify before Congress and told CNN that Pruitt and his aides used "secret" calendars and schedules to hide his contacts with industry representatives and others.
Pruitt's former top policy adviser Samantha Dravis met with the House Oversight Committee last week, and The Washington Post and The New York Times reported that Dravis told congressional investigators that Pruitt asked her to reach the Republican Attorneys General Association about a job for his wife. Both papers wrote that Dravis said she declined the request, citing concerns about violating The Hatch Act.
And CNN reported Tuesday that Pruitt had previously approached Trump in the Oval Office, asked Trump to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and offered to replace Sessions as head of the Justice Department on a temporary basis.
