Take a guess, how many death-threats Pruitt has received. Take a guess.

The EPA official said total security costs approached $3 million when pay is added to travel expenses.

EPA spokesman Jahan Wilcox said late Friday that Pruitt has faced an “unprecedented” amount of death threats against him and his family.

Out of of this "unprecedented amount of death-threats", these are the three the EPA considered serious enough to actually start an investigation:
- one case was closed for lack of evidence (details redacted)
- one threat consisted of an old lady writing a profanity-laden letter to Pruitt
- one threat consisted of somebody drawing a moustache on a picture of Pruitt



If an angry letter and a moustache are the worst dangers Pruitt faces, he definitely needs those millions of dollars in additional security.

3. 13 Threats to EPA Chief Scott Pruitt, Assessed

Among the many scandals currently dogging EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, who may be the most corrupt member of the Trump administration outside of the president himself, is his lavish spending on security.

Pruitt has a 20-person security team that protects him around the clock at the cost of $3 million each year. He often flies first-class instead of coach, because of what he’s called “unprecedented” threats. Earlier this week, President Trump defended Pruitt’s security spending by referencing these “death threats.”

Lawmakers got a look at some of those threats this week, and a group of Democrats found them to be not very credible or very threatening.

On Wednesday, CBS News allowed the rest of us to get a look at the threats by publishing parts of an August 2017 report from the EPA’s inspector general. The report contains 13 threats directed at Pruitt. They vary in severity, the method in which they were delivered, and the level of detail used to describe them. Here they are ranked from least to most menacing.

4. What an effing snowflake

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. He is the enemy of all decent human beings, and as decent human beings go, we dont

make death threats or commit violence.

He is a very guilty man, he assumes many would want to kill him because he KNOWS what he is doing will kill millions eventually.

[ProudLib72]

7. Exactly so, Eliot

If we behaved like Rs, then he would be in serious danger.

6. Saying it's unprecedented doesn't make it so. And what's with the moustache?

What makes that threatening?

9. I sent Lynn Jenkins, my (?) rep

back one of her beautifully done, slick brochures that she used to send out with a couple of questions for you to tear off your answers and send them back. What a waste of money not to mention a waste of time because 1) she is stupid as hell and 2) she never did anything. I answered her questions and sent her back the enormous cover photo of her with my addition of a moustache and a blacked out tooth with the comment that she was a cartoon representation of a human with a brain. Of course I never heard back but those were the good old days when that was not considered terrorism or even a threat.

It was stupid and juvenile but she is such a dope and she spent I don't know how much for those mailings. I don't get stuff like that from anyone anymore because of the expense. Slick and dumb. Probably evil too but who would ever know?

10. I sure hope they lock up the old lady who wrote the profanity-laden letter

... unless it was his Mom.

11. Not a snowflake, just an out-and-out coward.

With just maybe a huge heaping pathological dose of Munchausen's Syndrome thrown in.

12. He would be much more secure

if he was encased in concrete and sent to the deepest part of the ocean. minimum pollution, maximum effect.

[JDC]

13. Is it possible he needs security for all the private citizens, companies or Govs

That he may have ripped off or grifted cash from?

He says from "the people" but maybe it is from people known only to him, and on our dime.
