meeting with the chick-fil-a organization to get his wife a franchise that they could put in tulsa, oklahoma. so those kind of things stand out as using the office for personal gain. i thought the reporting this week that pruitt may have been angling to work with the president of the united states to try to put scott pruitt in jeff sessions' job as attorney general was also quite damning in terms of the optics of it all. >> we'll turn to congressman don buyer. he has been on the case of scott pruitt for many months now. congressman, you've been one of the loudest voices calling for scott pruitt's resignation through all of these investigations. have you seen someone in washington cling to their job for so long with so much baggage? >> it's just unbelievable. any other administration, democrat or republican, he'd have been gone months and months ago. trump says today that he didn't fire him. a good boss would have fired him a long, long time ago. he's megalow maniacal. that job he was going to get for his wife, he told his staff he was going to set up a secret llc so it wouldn't have to be di
