Interior Secretary Zinke resigns amid investigations

By artappraiser on Sat, 12/15/2018 - 3:20pm |

Make no mistake: Zinke is stepping down in disgrace - with at least 15 corruption investigations into his conduct at the Interior Department. He will be remembered for snatching public lands from the American people for the benefit of oil, gas & mining interests. Good riddance. https://t.co/evy8fjpz2N

With Zinke's planned departure from Interior, a good time to run though a few of the stories detailing what Zinke and his team have been up to at Interior since 2017. Let's start with the rollback of rules intended to prevent another Deepwater Horizon https://t.co/Px1DtEyYWz

click on that tweet and you'll get a twitter thread of 7 NYTimes investigative stories on Zinke. Or you can just go to the NYTimes search link he provides at the end of the thread, there's summaries there as well on each entry

a little bird's splainer:

WH official tells me Zinke's exit necessary. Why? Grijalva (D-Ariz.) will soon take gavel at Natural Res. Cmmte.

Since Zinke has taken personal shots at Grijalva for his struggles w/ alcoholism, official says the WH, already embattled, wants to avoid brutal/newsy Zinke hearings.
