Scott pruitt was ousted for wasting far less taxpayer money. Time for DeVos another Trump swamp monster, to go:

The cost of security provided to DeVos was $5.3 million in fiscal year 2017 and $6.8 million for fiscal year 2018, according to the Marshals Service — an amount that is ultimately reimbursed by the Education Department. The estimated cost for fiscal year 2019 is $7.74 million.

That far exceeds the $3.5 million spent on security for former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who*resigned in July amid questions about lavish spending habits*during his 17-month tenure at the agency. An EPA inspector general report, released Sept. 4, found the price tag for Pruitt’s security detail was "not justified" and far exceeded the security costs incurred under past EPA heads.

She was such a bad choice, IMO....

why do we need to protect her so? No one even cares about her except to wish someone with proper credentials was in her place. $7mil for what? Just give her some pepper spray....

Don't blame Betsy DeVos. Blame unhinged leftists who require her to now have Marshal Service protection.

I wonder where they get their anger from:

Due process for all is not the "destruction of civil rights protections".

Btw, Scott pruitt was found to be unjustified in requesting a fraction of what DeVos is getting in security and he was as, if not more, reviled
