Energy Secretary Rick Perry denied reports of his impending resignation on Monday.

Riiiggggghhhhttttt…
Wanting to preserve shaky “executive privilege” assertions, Rick?
He was just joking. I wish that Trump and Perry would stop joking around and get serious for a change.
Can’t believe TPM is not covering this story and Graham calling trump a liar on Fox
oops
Man, he is just asking for the whole world to run around saying Oops. Just like you, I am sure that was everyone’s first thought.
So, he wasn’t able to sneak out before someone outed him for his antics in Ukraine. Poor guy.
Secretary Perry does admit that he is “somewhat revolting.”
How many Scaramuccis until he’s gone?
Lots going on. Don’t believe a word any of them say. “Energy” and PetroPutin…let’s put the pieces together people. Perry is the most malleable dupe.
I think he got a talkin’ to. He may have his dick waaay too far into the wringer to be able to make a quick and silent exit.
Why don’t you be a journalist and ask him if he was involved in Ukraine decision or perhaps how he feels about being made a scapegoat??
it’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, it’s not next month.
That leaves 23 days between tomorrow and the end of this month and a whole lot more after the end of next month.
Energy Secretary Oops GlassesMakeMeSmart got a raving loony phone call in the night and agreed to pwn the Corrupt Media by pretending to stay on for longer.
Someone should call his real estate agent and see if he’s cancelled the contract for that DC area condo he’s been living in…
From the AP article above:
"Their aims were profit, not politics. This circle of businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Giuliani and Trump while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company. Their plan was to then steer lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies, according to two people with knowledge of their plans.
But the effort to install a friendlier management team at the helm of the gas company, Naftogaz, would soon be taken up with Ukraine’s new president by U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, whose slate of candidates included a fellow Texan who is one of Perry’s past political donors.
But the affair shows how those with ties to Trump and his administration were pursuing business deals in Ukraine that went far beyond advancing the president’s personal political interests."
My take: This blows the lid off of Politics, and puts every R official and voter to having to defend Chump’s treason on PROFIT grounds…the guy is selling out every single american. I don’t even care if it is true…we need to push this and see what pops out. This is why Chump doesn’t have an impeachment plan, a war-room, or anyone else in the normal channels helping him anymore. He has Putin telling him how to run this like a normal Putin black-ops…it is also why Chump is so stilted and lurching in his defenses, and tried to throw Perry under the bus. He only gets his Putin advice in abbreviated doses.
“I’m here, I’m serving,” Perry said, according to Reuters.
“Fuck my family.”
ICYMI Mr. Perry…your Dear Extortionist-In-Chief has thrown you under the bus already by blaming you for the Ukraine-gate mess.
So either you get implicated or you go right ahead and tell Congress the truth!
