"SNIP......

When it comes to dealings with Ukraine, Energy Secretary Rick Perry told CBN News he probably has the most expansive relationships as any cabinet secretary but says he’s never heard Joe Biden or his son Hunter come up in conversation. 

Said Perry: “I had a conversation with – a phone call – with Rudy Guiliani about it. I’ve talked to the previous ambassador. I’ve talked to the current ambassador. I’ve talked to Kurt Volker, Gordan Sondland, the EU ambassador- every name that you’ve seen out in the media and not once, not once as God as my witness, not once was a Biden name – not the former vice president, not his son ever mentioned. Corruption was talked about in the country but it was always a relatively vague term of, you know, the oligarchs and this and that and what have you.”

5. If Giuliani was involved, maybe he (and, Trump) added the Bidens

to get some extra mileage? It seems their conspiracies grow with every passing day. Here, you have Trump running against Biden and Giuliani having a history of hating Biden. Kill two birds with one stone?

That said, we have problems trying to figure out trump and his cohorts because we don't think the same way. Both Trump and Ghouliani have a long list of hate and paybacks, which they'll both try to accomplish before they die. Just sayin'.

4. Why should we take Rick Perry's word for anything?

He has a strong motivation to lie, and I have no doubt that he swore his loyalty to Chump when he became Energy Secretary. It's possible that Rudi G. did an end run around him, but how would we know that? They all lie like they breathe - every day in every way.
