"To allege that interpreting the Clean Air Act in an open-ended way is some sort of violation of law is ridiculous. I don’t think anybody involved here is confused about the legal merits. Everybody on the right knows that they’re playing Calvinball here and that this is all bullshit." — @volts.wtf

Trump gets rich. His friends get richer.
