Stinky Ryan Zinke, Secretary of Interior, Finally Gone

Ryan Zinke is the definition of the Swamp.  We've written about him so many times it's sickening and we've included links to some of those posts if you scroll down.  Finally he is gone from wrecking our environment, national parks, and wildlife although the next up to run the Interior won't be any better, just not as openly corrupt, similar to Wheeler at the EPA.  But for now, a moment of good news:

Zinke HAS accomplished much:

There’s the Connecticut casino matter

And Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument issue

And suspect land development project in Zinke's hometown of Whitefish

In fact not since Scott Pruitt has anyone done so much...to keep ethics lawyers busy. https://t.co/jhCyRexTLs

Chuck Schumer: "Ryan Zinke was one of the most toxic members of the cabinet in the way he treated our environment, our precious public lands, and the way he treated the government like it was his personal honey pot. The swamp cabinet will be a little less foul without him."

Ryan Zinke has racked up 17 federal investigations in under two years as Secretary of the Interior: https://www.citizensforethics.org/a-guide-to-the-14-federal-investigations-into-ryan-zinke/

Translation: Zinke is facing multiple investigations and an incoming Congress that will actually make him answer questions and he's heading for the exit. https://t.co/o5wJabkVa5

I served with Ryan Zinke in Congress. He had a bright future.

But then he entered the world of @realDonaldTrump, and allowed its corrupting influence to destroy his reputation. Zinke is now facing multiple investigations and mounting legal bills. Sad. https://t.co/b4dXNYTKiq
