Scott Pruitt has done lasting damage to the mission and reputation of the EPA. His ethical lapses are notorious, but he also rolled back dozens of key environmental rules that were designed to protect health and the environment. His replacement will likely do the same.

Good point. He doesn’t want an FBI interview because lying to the FBI is a federal crime. Similar to trump’s “perjury trap” excuse

This White House just does not get it. They chose to give porter a temporary security clearance when he could not be approved. Jared kushner and others have the temporary status. Look at why they were initially denied.
John Kelly is now “shocked” by Rob Porter and condemns domestic violence.
A few hours ago Sanders said Trump had “full confidence” in Porter and she didn’t know what POTUS thought of the allegations or black-eye photos.
