Rick Perry Fires Back At Nevada’s Democratic Governor Over An Allegedly ‘Secret’ Shipment
dailycaller.com ^ | 3/2/2019 | Michael Bastasch

Energy Secretary Rick Perry challenged Nevada’s claim his department secretly shipped plutonium into the state. Perry said Energy Department officials notified Nevada officials in August, before weapons-grade plutonium was shipped. Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak maintained that Perry didn’t properly notify Nevada of the plutonium shipment.

Tensions flared between Nevada Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak and the Trump administration amid an ongoing fight over the Energy Department (DOE) allegedly secretly shipping weapons-grade plutonium into the Silver State.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry responded to those allegations in a letter to Sisolak sent Friday, which was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. Perry’s letter was first reported by The Nevada Independent.

“This allegation is not accurate. Shortly after [the National Nuclear Security Administration] completed its analysis, the Department notified those officials of the shipments and storage decisions and offered briefings about those decisions to them, as well as to several other State, county, and local officials,” Perry wrote to Sisolak.

Perry also included a copy of an August 29th email sent from DOE to Sisolak while he served as Clark County commissioner, informing him of the plutonium shipment and offering briefings. It’s unclear whether or not Sisolak took up the DOE on their offer. Sisolak was elected governor in November 2018 and took office this year.

So, newly (s)elected gov sleaze sissypants (Mrs rktmans term for him) has his panties in a wad because HE failed to follow up. Yeah, it's gonna be a long 4+ years. Don't really see NV getting turned around anytime soon, if ever. Vegas odds are the dems will continue to destroy the state bit by bit.

Damn shame. Love Nevada. Been to nearly every nook and cranny there doing bird surveys and botany studies.

But sadly, it went purple. And I think you’re right. The disgusting Dem vote fraud there will probably turn it blue. Sickening.

By all means,governor, shipment of weapons-grade plutonium should be public knowledge. Maybe put it on the front page of the paper. It’s not like anyone would want to steal it or anything

A lot of people think you ought to stay away from email, but I made good use of it. While working, I documented as much as I could with email and when someone said they “didn’t know” I was often able to show that they did know.

After you do this for a while, people don’t mess with you. They just do what you say. I liked the power that simply keeping track of stuff conveyed.

It makes no difference what they think. This is a national interest by the Federal government, Cram it down their throat! Nevada is desolate wasteland anyway interspersed with worthless massage parlors and decadent paganistic gambling. Screw them !!

If Ensign didn’t have to fool around with someone else’s wife. If REPUBLICAN business interests didn’t support Harry Reis’s reelection in 2004. Throw in the GOP primary voter going for Sharon angle rather than Sue Louden. Talk about the stupid party.

You never, ever challenge a rat with reason or facts. You call the rat a low-life, lying Nazi SOB. Then you invite the rat to step out back to continue the discussion. The rat will pee in his pants, whimper like a whipped dog and you win.

Just ship it to the LV central RR yard in open coal cars and park it and forget it... If they want a red state...give it to them... It'll just add to the Vegas night-sky glow...

IAC, it'll save the wife and I four expensive trips a year...

We just bought a second home in Gardnerville. Beautiful place, not much government, and housing is dirt cheap. If it weren’t for our children and their families here in CA. we would most likely move there. The biggest problem Californians face moving to Nevada is how to spend the proceeds from your CA home. Nevada needs to secede from Clark County and form a new state.

will probably turn it blue

Both of their Senators, 3 out of 4 Representatives and the Governor are Democrats. I'd say that ship has sailed.

Email is fine to send for lovers’ break ups and grandkids’ pictures but not for plutonium shipments. Perry should have sent a legal document that had to be signed. Rino Gov. Goodhair couldn’t be trusted in TX. Remember Gardasil and DREAMER Act and that’s just the tip of that iceberg. Why Trump gave him this position is beyond the pale.

If the media says it, 99% chance it’s a lie. If a ‘Rat governor says it, 99.99% chance it’s a lie.

I remember “Silly Sissy” as the far left editorialist of the LV Review-Journal. It appears he is still wearing the same waded panties.

Disgusting POS. From what I’ve heard (not verified) Laxalt and other can’t-i-dates with an “R” hardly campaigned in the Vegas area at all. If not, major screw up on their part. Oh well, it’s done now and probably never going back due to Clark County and Washoe County. Sad.

So discouraging that NV is now and will be Blue. We left CA with hopes of living in a Freedom loving state. (((sigh))))

At least my county is solid Red!
