[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt spent nearly $3,000 on "tactical pants" and "tactical polos," according to new disclosures cited Wednesday by The Intercept.

Records obtained by the outlet through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that Pruitt spent $2,749.62 on the clothing items as part of his security expenditures.

The disclosures showed that Pruitt spent $288,610 on various security items, bringing the total amount of public money Pruitt has spent on security items to $4.6 million.


The amount marks a $1.1 million increase from the administrator's security costs from last month, according to the outlet.

2. here is one listed at amazon

7. I know what polo shirts are but I didn't know they had a tactical style.

Can you pop the collar or does the Kevlar make it too stiff?

8. Polos are $20 so around 140 numbers alone

3. 5.11's ?

I'm sure he's a kitted-up bad ass, Scott Pruitt.

Probably does CrossFit!

9. I found some 5 star tactical pants on Amazon for around $30!

What is going on here?

11. You tax $$$ being grifted .

[lunasun]

10. Reason?

. According to the lawmakers, among the threats considered by the EPA were protesters asking questions at events and a postcard received by Pruitt’s office that said, “Climate change is real!! We are watching you.”

Oh Ok then

12. He'll look good in them fleeing Le Diplomate after the other diners there recognize him. NT

14. With all his BS about needing security and now his tactical pants and polos, it would be an

absolute hoot if he were to be hit by Blue ice.

Poetic justice, in fact.

15. Tactical pants mean hides the diaper

16. He better get a Kevlar Jock strap.

17. My son in military paid for own uniform.

He's an officer, and has to have several uniforms beyond the one basic. I had to buy him a pair of combat boots for Xmas because the issued ones were too small. He's about to get promoted and he will have to oay to have the new rank enblems sewn on.

You can imagine how unsympathetic I am to Pruitt getting his leisure wear paid for.
