"I had absolutely nothing to do with Whitefish Energy receiving a contract in Puerto Rico,” Zinke said in his statement. “Any attempts by the dishonest media or political operatives to tie me to awarding or influencing any contract involving Whitefish are completely baseless"
With the Trumpees in particular, and republican officials in general, it is important to parse their comments: You had “nothing t do with . . . ? OK, what about your friends, associates, former business partners, subordinates who knew your association with these guys, etc? There are just too many dots leading back to Zinke for his denial to be easily believeable.

No one said you did…yet,… Ryan. So then your name calling reads to me that you are the dishonest one in this charade we call government. I’ll wait to see how this scandal plays out. Imagone the blow back had this been on Obama;s watch. But it’s just another scandal for the trump crowd. 8 years with barely a breath of scandal under Obama and now they have become NORMAL!!!
denials from Zinke are not credible. Zinke said he only flies charter after it’s determined by “multiple career professionals at the department that no other options meet the schedule.”
T Commercial airlines run daily flights between the two airports [Las Vegas and his hometown in MT] and charge as little as $300, the Post reported.
You read it here first. Let’s wait for the first R to twist it into “Clinton did it.” But I personally think !Jeb! and his high rolling campaign might have been at the bottom of it.
That sounds like the sweet deal a Christie ally (can’t remember name) who was then chair of Port Authority of NY/NJ had with United Airlines providing what came to be called the “chairman’s flight” because it operated twice a week and went from Newark to East Jesus NC.
hum… kind of get the impression that he is lying… just like the rest of the Trumpy WH
His big buddy in a town of a few hundred maybe, where his son worked… and Zinke “knows nothing”… hum
Just wonder how much money he is getting for knowing “nothing”
