He's totally too smart! Just look at those glasses! AND, he earned a "D" in a college course named "Meats"! BOOM! Mic drop! Whatcha gonna do now, motherfuckers?

Seriously though, I thought it was Rick Perry when I first read it too.

I put nothing past Trump and the Trumpers these days. Shake down a former Gov and Presidential candidate? Yep. Sounds about right.

I wish the OP would change their subject line to reflect *which* Perry this was.

Keep the revelations coming! It's the only way we can sway public opinion enough to pressure Senate Republicans.

Firtash, the oligarch, owns 70% of the Naftogaz gas company already. Lev and Igor were working for him.

What was Rudy paid $500, 000 for? Who was he helping?

As Speaker Pelosi said, with Trump, all roads lead to Putin.

Ambassador Yovanovich referred to that when she spoke of U.S. anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine making big enemies. Just as we've earned ourselves huuuge enemies in Russia that we can be proud of.

For us, this is some detail emerging from the fog of ignorance.

*Unimaginably wealthy and powerful criminals who sack whole nations.
