It seemed that Mr. Pruitt’s stock among the G.O.P. On Thursday morning, Mr. Pruitt walked briskly into the hearing room wearing a red tie and a smile. At the center of the red-hot controversy is a beige career lawyer, who is a master of the bland non-answer. Mr. Walden and his colleagues on the committee delivered a few slaps to Mr. Pruitt’s wrist, but went on to sing the praises of his policy work. For now, I’m guessing I’ll still be covering Mr. Pruitt’s tenure in the months to come.
