After leaving the administration, Rick Perry didn’t waste much time before joining the board of the general partner that controls pipeline company Energy Transfer LP, the company responsible for the Dakota Access Pipeline. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Perry had served as a director at Energy Transfer Partners before becoming energy secretary, and the company’s billionaire CEO was a major supporter of Perry’s 2016 presidential run. washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…
Perry agreed to refrain from working on matters involving the company for a period of time while secretary. But Energy Transfer’s history of lobbying the Energy Department while Perry was secretary has raised some questions about the ethics of his new spot on the board.
We filed a FOIA request for communications between Energy Department officials and Perry or other Energy Transfer representatives since Perry’s resignation. americanoversight.org/document/foia-…

Delays, deceit, and disorganization: We've opened an investigation into the Trump administration's response to #coronavirus americanoversight.org/investigation/…
The Trump administration's coronavirus response appears to be focused on public relations instead of public health, with top government officials issuing conflicting or blatantly false statements about the epidemic. We're investigating. americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We've filed more than 100 public records requests to federal and state agencies investigating whether mismanagement in the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus has put lives at risk.

BREAKING: "Final decision rests with POTUS."

New Ukraine emails released to American Oversight tonight reveal that Pompeo, Esper, and Bolton agreed Ukraine security assistance should "continue as planned."
americanoversight.org/final-decision…
The August 26, 2019, email from a senior career Pentagon official states that there was “no interagency review process with respect to the [Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative]” — contradicting what OMB officials repeatedly told DOD about the aid freeze americanoversight.org/final-decision…
On July 25, 2019 — the day of President Trump's infamous call with President Zelensky — a top OMB official emailed DOD that the administration planned to "review assistance to Ukraine" and directed the Pentagon to withhold further funds "pending direction from that process."

Another Monday, another hustings. This time in Chelsea and Fulham. And another big turnout.
.@GregHands doesn’t waste much time before mentioning his resignation over the third runway at Heathrow.
Hands: “this has always been a straight Labour/Con fight. A vote for anyone other than me risks Jeremy Corbyn in 10 Downing St.”

Lib Dems meanwhile, have been saturating the seat. They think they have a chance. Seems v unlikely to me but Hands sounded a bit worried.

Rick Perry & the sale & transportation of US LNG (liquid natural gas) to UKR

TeamTrump is likely up to mischief, which we will probably learn more about in the coming days.

Let’s first review some background information about UKR gas supplies & infrastructure.

Gazprom = RU
🔑The future of the transportation of Russian gas to Europe is wide open.

🔑The role of Ukraine, historically the main transit corridor, will change after the current transit contract between Gazprom and Naftogaz Ukrainy expires on 31 December 2019.

5/29/19, Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolyev participated in a meeting between Zelensky and an official U.S. delegation headed by Energy Secretary Rick Perry.

1/ BREAKING.

Pakistan's hooggerechtshof spreekt Asia Bibi, een Christelijke Pakistaanse, in hoger beroep vrij van "godslastering".

Asia Bibi, die in 2010 werd veroordeeld tot de doodstraf, wordt onmiddellijk vrijgelaten.

Zaak kreeg wereldwijd veel aandacht. Groot nieuws dit:
2/ "the prosecution has categorically failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt," concluded the chief justice. "it is not for individuals, or a gathering (mob), to decide as to (...) Section 295-C has been committed or not." dawn.com/news/1442396/s…
3/ "Bibi appeared to be in state of disbelief after hearing decision from her lawyer.

"I cant believe what I am hearing, will I go out now? Will they let me out, really?" Bibi told AFP by phone from prison. "I just don't know what to say, I am very happy"
