I wonder if there is a historical analog to this level of corruption.

Pruitt is a fossil fuel industry lobbyist in his heart. It is not really too surprising that he is good buddies with other lobbyists.

But once he was on the public dime you would think that even Scotty would understand that the optics of this would be just a little bit well...not good.

Was the last time we have corruption this blatant the Harding administration? The Reagan years were bad but nowhere near this blatant and inept simultaneously.
