Pruitt called the White House once from his $43,000 phone booth, records show

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The $43,000 phone booth that former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt installed in his office may not have been worth all the headaches it caused him.

He only placed one phone call to the White House, newly released records from the agency show. It lasted five minutes.

The former head of the Environmental Protection Agency resigned last month after coming under fire for how he spent tax dollars and treated his staff. He made the five-minute call on Jan. 29, according to Verizon phone logs released in response to litigation filed by the Sierra Club, an environmental advocacy group.

The new documents do not show how many incoming calls Pruitt received in the soundproof booth, which he installed last year. In April, Pruitt testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee that he used the booth sparingly.

1. I bet he called Trump on his unsecured iPhone

These people are idiots. I have no idea how they got where they are.

2. They have peers who are as corrupt as they are

as well as being in the same corrupt political party. They help each other without shame.

3. An $8600 a minute call?

Ma Bell must be jealous.

5. I don't give a F* about how often he called the WH; how many lobbyists/bribe-givers did he talk to?

That's why he installed it.

Here's a good rule to employ when thinking about Trump admin people: "what's the most corrupt thing you can imagine any extraordinarily arrogant and completely amoral person doing?... well, that's what they are most likely doing."

6. Paid for by our tax money!
