That's what I'm wondering.

Why all this need for secrecy? What's he doing at the EPA that he needs to keep secret?

We're in agreement on that. He's a swine.

Hmm. Interesting. I don't recall the Army's NBC school having anything like that at Ft McClellan, Alabama.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Out of curiosity, has this kind of "secrecy booth" always existed?

After I found out about the woman he hired as senior counsel who followed him from the OK non-profit he created and hired her to work for...that she was given a raise higher than the WH approved, that she was absent from work for weeks at a time w/o any problems from Pruitt---that she resigned as soon as the spotlight shown on her (that letter from the Dems and 3 Republicans plus the media attention)
I think maybe they needed that soundproof room for some private moments...
