Good Riddance to Rick Perry, the Latest Official to Be Embroiled in the Impeachment Inquiry

https://splinternews.com/good-riddan...-be-1838758186

Despite the noted goofiness of Texas’ longest-serving governor, Perry has managed to avoid the spotlight for utter stupidity unlike his colleagues. But now, Perry and his trip to Ukraine in May to the inauguration of Volodymyr Zelensky have put Perry in the sight of the impeachment inquiry.

On Tuesday, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) sent a letter to Perry asking to clarify the purpose of his trip. “President Trump’s phone call and the allegations in the whistleblower complaint raise serious questions about the messages that were communicated on behalf of President Trump to the government of Ukraine,” Menendez wrote.

Menendez then asked five multi-part questions of Perry, including if he knew about Vice President Mike Pence’s cancelled Ukraine trip. Considering the impeachment inquiry subpoenas have only began in the house, we’ll have to wait to see if Perry will join Rudy Giuliani as a recipient.

'Republican Sen. Ron Johnson just did Trump no favors on Ukraine'

"In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Johnson disclosed that Trump assured him on Aug. 31 that there was no quid pro quo between him and Ukraine. “He said — expletive deleted — No way. I would never do that. Who told you that?” Johnson said.

The more significant part of the conversation, though, is why Johnson even asked Trump in the first place:

Mr. Johnson said he learned of the potential arrangement involving military aid through a phone call with Mr. [Gordon] Sondland that occurred the day before Mr. Johnson spoke to Mr. Trump. Under the arrangement, Mr. Johnson said Mr. Sondland told him, Ukraine would appoint a strong prosecutor general and move to “get to the bottom of what happened in 2016 — if President Trump has that confidence, then he’ll release the military spending,” recounted Mr. Johnson.

“At that suggestion, I winced,” Mr. Johnson said. “My reaction was: Oh, God. I don’t want to see those two things combined.”" WP

Elaine Chao favored Kentuckians in meeting with officials seeking grants
Transportation secretary met far more often with constituents of her husband Mitch McConnell than officials from any other state.

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/1...-grants-028412

In all, 25 percent of Chao’s scheduled meetings with local officials of any state from January 2017 to March 2018 were with Kentuckians, who make up only about 1.3 percent of the U.S. population. The next closest were Indiana and Georgia, with 6 percent of meetings each, according to Chao’s calendar records, the only ones that have been made public.

No corruption!

Munchkin Pressed on ‘Alleged Rampant Corruption’ at Treasury Department

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mnuch...223102736.html

“[D]o you see your job as protecting the interests of the entirety of the American people or a handful of plutocrats and personal friends? Do you think it is appropriate for the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States to seek special favors for one of the most prolific financial criminals in world history?”

“It should go without saying that the United States government is not a piggy bank to be looted for the sole benefit of the President and his friends. Yet this is not only what is occurring in your department, but it is happening at your direct supervision. Please provide answers to my questions immediately.”
