Perry Unfazed By Directive To Consult With Giuliani On Ukraine: 'I Trusted Him'

Energy Secretary Rick Perry said Friday that he had no qualms being directed to work with Rudy Giuliani on matters related to Ukraine, since he “trusted him.”

“I’ve known Rudy since 2008. I endorsed him for President in 2008,” he said on Fox News. “I worked with him. I trusted him.”

When asked if he thought it was strange when President Donald Trump instructed him to talk to Giuliani about a potential meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Perry shrugged.

“As a governor of Texas, I used people outside of government all the time to give me information,” he said. “I respect the State Department. But I happen to know people in the energy industry who are smarter than the State Department folks. I didn’t see a problem with that at all.”

First and foremost Perry your a fucking idiot, and your a disgrace to ever have worn the uniform of the United States Airforce. Second, when you said this:

“As a governor of Texas, I used people outside of government all the time to give me information,” he said. “I respect the State Department. But I happen to know people in the energy industry who are smarter than the State Department folks. I didn’t see a problem with that at all.”

People inside the energy field, have brought this country to war based on a fucking lie for starters, I keep thinking of Bush /Cheney.
And in the current event that you are complicit in, did you at anytime think that you were / are committing treason.......................or are you still trying to figure out what departments you would have eliminated if you became president........................you really are a idiot
