The individual in DC with the biggest target on his back is Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
Pruitt is not some anti-environmentalist but someone who wants the EPA to do what Congress charges it with doing to improve the nation's environment.
He was approved for the room by an 18-year career ethics person at EPA, but liberal Pruitt opponents are "Concerned." The general rental space also was used by three members of Congress for fundraising on days Pruitt was in town.
Pruitt didn't get White House approval to sign off on the pay raises, but EPA officials used an authority that other EPA administrators used to set pay.
The real reason for the media/resistance/establishment chatter about ousting Pruitt is that Pruitt tackles the abuse of the rule of law at EPA head on and has been effective at advancing a conservative deregulatory agenda.
In a statement, Pruitt said, "Obama's EPA cut the midterm evaluation process short with politically charged expediency, made assumptions about the standards that didn't comport with reality and set the standards too high." California is already suing to block the rollback.
Pruitt is entrenching rule of law in the administrative state and rescinding liberty-crushing regulations that exceed EPA authority.
