On Friday, we learned that Rick Perry authored one of those so-called "treason texts" to Mark Meadows in which he promoted "an agressive [sic] strategy" to keep Trump in power. 
The text caught the attention of the After Show panel - in part because it revealed as much of a disregard for the constitution as it did for the rules of grammar or spelling. W/ @GregOlear @LincolnsBible
And while it's true Perry was a ghastly presidential contender, he was also a highly conflicted Energy Sec. Consider Perry's top political aide - Jeff Miller - who simultaneously worked for the DOE, ran a lobbying firm while also "fundraising" for Trump.

It appears the mob runs deep around Perry, and Miller rings more like a bag man than a political advisor.
Miller's three-decades long friendship with Kevin 'K Street' McCarthy and a more recent friendship with Donald Trump, Jr. does little to dissuade one from that impression.

It's an interesting bit of triangulation which may ultimately explain why Perry - whom many of us assumed had ridden off into the sunset - would suddenly reappear as part of the Jan 6 commission's investigation.
Watch this space.
