Energy Secretary Rick Perry To Resign
......Secretary of Energy Rick Perry plans to leave his position at the end of the year, President Trump confirmed to reporters Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas. Trump praised Perry and said he already has a replacement in mind.
"Rick has done a fantastic job," Trump said. " But it was time."
Trump said that Perry's resignation didn't come as a surprise and that he has considered leaving for six months because "he's got some very big plans."
Perry, 69, is one of Trump's original Cabinet members and recently has emerged as a central figure in the impeachment inquiry of Trump.
Perry was part of what was dubbed "the three amigos" — in addition to Gordon Sondland, ambassador to the European Union, and Kurt Volker, former envoy to Ukraine — charged with managing the U.S.-Ukraine relationship after the White House removed the core of its Ukraine policy team last spring.
Trump reportedly blamed Perry earlier this month for that now-famous call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in which Trump pressed Zelenskiy to investigate his potential political rival former Vice President Joe Biden and Biden's son.
Perry says he wanted Trump and Zelenskiy to talk strengthening energy business ties between the two countries. Regarding the Biden issue, Perry told the Christian Broadcasting Network, "As God as my witness, not once was a Biden name — not the former vice president, not his son — ever mentioned."
Perry's name first emerged in the appendix of the whistleblower complaint that launched the impeachment inquiry. He was tapped to attend Zelenskiy's inauguration last May.......

The best comment I saw was that Perry quit when he discovered what the job actually was.

BTW, when asked about Perry's up coming resignation earlier this month, an Energy Dept spokes person said:
“Energy Department spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes said in an email, “While the Beltway media has breathlessly reported on rumors of Secretary Perry’s departure for months, he is still the Secretary of Energy and a proud member of President Trump’s Cabinet. One day the media will be right. Today is not that day.”

He's nominated a replacement, so there won't be any interruption of the damage DoE is doing...

good comment:
"The boat ferrying the rats is bigger than the Trump ship of state."

I'm sure Perry didn't put in a single day of honest work.
