Why would Pruitt want a used mattress from Trump tower?

[Baitball Blogger]

Was it a particular mattress? Like one with weird DNA?

Doesn't make sense considering that a hotel mattress makes poor evidence since you can't isolate anyone to any one event.

1. Perhaps it is simply that he is a tightwad

and wanted to brag to Trump that he (Pruitt) bought one of the Trump mattresses and absolutely LOVES it... knowing that such ego strokes are the way to flatter the Twitler.

5. Or maybe there was going to be extra cushioning in the mattress?

Maybe the FBI should look into this and find out how many other people have purchased Trump used mattresses from Trump Tower?

Albeit, Scott Pruitt is an idiot if he was going to use public funds and not expect red flags to go up.

11. He did use public funds

The people he sent to find and purchase the mattress are paid by us.

13. I agree--the reason is something along the lines you stated.

15. He's not a tightwad. And he has several investigations to look into his finanial

splurges to prove it.

19. He is when it involves his own money.

The airplane bs - a few flights were on his own dime. Suddenly the "threat" must have gone down, because he flew coach.

My guess is there was no way to get the fed govt to buy his bedding - but his tastes are HIGH END - so .... get a discount on a used mattress from a high end place. It's dumb, and it's gross, but it is consistent.

2. Sorry. That's just too weird to consider.

3. Cash stuffed inside the used mattress?

6. That would make the most sense.

4. Or maybe....

He figures in get into a new line of work after he gets done at the White House?

7. Hmmmm maybe he likes the smell of a used soiled mattress. n/t

8. He's a PERV.

9. It HAS to have been a particular mattress.

You know how this goes.

10. Pee-pee tapes

12. No. No. No. Not allowing my mind to go there.

14. It must be a secret fetish

Must be hard to look so clean and righteous in public when all he wants is to roll around on a nice, used mattress and thinking about all the filthy, unholy things people did on it.

16. With my tin hat on

Trump set him up with a hooker, made films, and is blackmailing Pruitt. Just like the old days with JEH.
Pruitt thought he could get back the evidence if he acted fast.

17. Adding an upscale bedbug to his insect collection?

18. He's into kinky sex.

Just what kind of kink, I don't know. And would prefer not to imagine.

20. It was a typo; he actually asked for a used mistress.
