Rick Perry made me do it!

[milestogo]

According to Axios, President Trump told House Republicans that he was urged by Energy Secretary Rick Perry to make his July 25 phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Trump told fellow party members "not a lot of people know this but, I didn't even want to make the call," a source who was on the call told the news outlet.

"The only reason I made the call was because Rick asked me to. Something about an LNG [liquified natural gas] plant," Trump added.

The president's comments put a twist on the narrative surrounding House Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

4. Now how did Rick Perry make Donald Trump send Mike Pence to Warsaw, Poland to tell the President

of the Ukraine that he had to find some dirt on Joe Biden in order to get military help that had
been approved by the Congress?

BTW is Rick responsible for my dog peeing on the bathmat @ least once a week?

Trump doesn't think through whether his lies make any sense, he just lies.

8. He's still there

He's given several dates as to when he's going to leave: November, December, end of the year.

Now, I think it will be moved up to November.

7. I really don't think Trump listens to him.

He's just a convenient scapegoat.

He can just say, "I can't remember"......
