Like Ron DeSantis defending the civilian who killed the NYC homeless person, there are plenty of media deflections being posted.

Mark Meadows remains the hub for information about the fake electors plot, a component of the 2020 Coup attempt. The latest bit is from an item identified a while ago as a text message from former Energy Secretary Rick Perry to Mark Meadows right after Trump’s defeat. The reality lurking below could be the entire group in the “Trump legal team” who have come to the attention of the the Fulton County GA DA, and who also had been in contact with Mark Meadows. There are many parents before this element of the coup plot becomes an orphan.

Rick now floats an interest in the 2024 POTUS nomination perhaps only because Trump is using it as a defense from coup prosecution, among other crimes. Oops.

x 1. Beyond the obvious comedic value of this candidacy, why would he want do it? Is he perhaps looking for the cover that comes from a presidential candidacy?



Rick Perry says he's thinking about running for president https://t.co/CKSSEGBGvi — Tim Hogan 浩勤 (@TimInHonolulu) May 15, 2023

Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry (R-TX) told CNN's Jim Acosta that he was pondering whether to run for president again. Acosta asked Perry if he was endorsing Trump in 2024 and Perry hedged, but not because he was thinking about Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). "You know, I'm still trying to sort that out for myself. So, you know, he may get to hear me call him names again. Who knows?" joked Perry. "It's still early in the process, so I haven't written off that — you know, if you'll recall, I didn't announce for president in 2011 until August. So, we got a lot of time left." "Does that mean that you're thinking about jumping in?" Acosta asked. He explained that it was something he was working on. www.rawstory.com/... x Former Texas Gov.

Members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol believe that former Texas Governor and Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was the author of a text message sent to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows the day after the 2020 election pushing an “AGRESSIVE (sic) STRATEGY” for three state legislatures to ignore the will of their voters and deliver their states’ electors to Donald Trump, three sources familiar with the House Committee investigation tell CNN. A spokesman for Perry told CNN that the former Energy Secretary denies being the author of the text. Multiple people who know Rick Perry confirmed to CNN that the phone number the committee has associated with that text message is Perry’s number. The cell phone number the text was sent from, obtained from a source knowledgeable about the investigation, appears in databases as being registered to a James Richard Perry of Texas, the former governor’s full name. The number is also associated in a second database as registered to a Department of Energy email address associated with Perry when he was secretary. When told of these facts, the spokesman had no explanation. The House Select Committee declined to comment on the author of the text. The Nov. 4, 2020, text message from Perry’s phone garnered a great deal of attention this week; it was included in a tranche of roughly 6,000 documents Meadows turned over to the House Select Committee. www.cnn.com/...
