Sorry, Rick, failed try. Desperate try. Stupid try.

Perry must not have been wearing the smart glasses when he said this.
Even if Trump never mentioned Biden to him (unlikely), it is meaningless…Perry is someone I would have left out of a plot like this. And, Perry may have his own problems since he was apparently working to influence LNG operations in Ukraine to help buddies in Texas, and we don’t know yet how that fits into the whole scheme.

Would Perry remember if Trump had mentioned Biden’s name or would Biden be like the Department of Energy Perry wanted to eliminate but could not remember it by name?

You make a good point in that Perry is one of those former Trumpians who will likely need a pardon.

Meanwhile, the House Republicans are “storming” the meeting, not allowing the testimony to proceed. I love the smell of GOP desperation. “Reporting from Adam B. Schiff’s secret chamber,” wrote Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.)

Trump has been talking about Biden by name since at least last spring. I guess Mr. Smart Glasses wasn’t paying attention.
And regarding that “it’s all about fighting corruption” claim …

WASHINGTON — When President-elect Donald J. Trump offered Rick Perry the job of energy secretary five weeks ago, Mr. Perry gladly accepted, believing he was taking on a role as a global ambassador for the American oil and gas industry that he had long championed in his home state.
In the days after, Mr. Perry, the former Texas governor, discovered that he would be no such thing — that in fact, if confirmed by the Senate, he would become the steward of a vast national security complex he knew almost nothing about, caring for the most fearsome weapons on the planet, the United States’ nuclear arsenal.

But, but, they’re showing their constituents how brave they are. They’re not going to take it! Did Jordan wrestle anyone?

Hmmm … Who’s the cute guy standing beside Perry, the guy from whom Perry borrowed his Brokeback Mountain jacket?
