Fox News's Ed Henry responds: "You don't know? You run the agency. You don't know who did it?"

Q: "Both of these staffers who got these large pay raises are friends of yours..."
PRUITT: “They are staffers here in the agency.”
Q; “They are friends of yours.”
PRUITT: “Well, they serve a very important purpose.”
Q: “And you did not know that they got these large pay raises?”




The Atlantic flatly reported yesterday that Pruitt ordered the raises he professes to have just learned about yesterday.

What happened was Prez D. t-Rump was mumbling to himself when he offered Pruitt the job. They both thought he was being offered chief of the Entitlement Protection Agency. And, so far he's been doing an awesome job of protecting their entitlements. Neither one of them can figure out why environmental questions and issues keep coming into play.
