A Texas businessman and former donor to Energy Secretary Rick Perry landed an exclusive energy extraction contract in Ukraine after Perry boosted him and his associate as gas experts, the Associated Press reported Monday.
“When it comes to politics, its not about who is corrupt, it’s about who has been caught, because they all have skeletons in the closet.” ― De philosopher DJ Kyos
That’s rich. Trump so concerned about corruption in Ukraine, sends Perry over to do American bizmens bidding. If this isn’t a perfect reason to get money out of politics (overturn Citizens United), then I don’t know what is. Pay to play.
This is Republican oil patch corruption pure and simple. This is why we need to clean house in Washington. Both the Senate and the White House need to change parties, and the people we elect need to put an end to this 2nd gilded age. Share the wealth, stop the corruption.
By gum, Donnie’s right. There’s corruption in Ukraine!
GOP move along, nothing to see here…
Isn’t that what dominant nations do…control other’s natural resources? The U.S. China, Russia…
Perry was flying under the radar but now we know. Smart glasses, good hair and a DWTS appearance ain’t gonna help. ETTD
Rick Perry Pals Landed Ukraine Gas Rights Contract After Boost From Secretary
If there wasn’t before…
Yes, it’s economic imperialism. And it’s wrong.
Who ever thought there could be so many criminal coincidences in one administration?
Second Gilded Age indeed.
“Hain’t I got the POWER?”
“…dubbed the ‘three amigos’ for their role in Trump’s Ukraine pressure campaign.”
The three amigos are Rick Perry, Gordon Sondland, and um…what’s the third one there?
Let’s see now: There’s Rick Perry…Gordon Sondland…and uh…the third amigo is…
Can’t. Sorry. Oops.
Now I no longer have to worry if Perry’s retirement income is large enough to keep him in hair products. He has already lined up a source of support. I hope he bought lawyer insurance.
My favorite photo of the Secretary of Energy.
Hmmmm. Let me guess the name of the Ukrainian region under exploration contract: Teapot Dome?
Would they be part of the swamp that Toadglans “captured.”
So, fake-investigate the Bidens, say they’re corrupt as hell (with zero or Trumped-up fake evidence), AND give my buddies some fat energy contracts (and for all we know some fine Ukrainian hookers), or say goodbye to that congressionally-approved aid and WH visit. Yep.
You have to LITERALLY be an imbecile to still support the guy given this.
Yup. That there’s some corruption to investigate, isn’t it?
Chuck Todd?
