[quote:Anonymous Coward 69882147:MV80MTgzNDYyX0QxMjk1REFE] Two political backers of Energy Secretary Rick Perry landed a lucrative oil and gas exploration deal from Ukraine's government shortly after Perry reportedly included one of the two men in a list of suggested potential advisers to Ukraine's new president. Michael Bleyzer was among four names Perry had recommended to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Bleyzer and partner Alex Cranberg later got a contract to drill for oil and gas despite despite offering a bid that was lower than their only other competitor, according to internal Ukrainian government documents. A major GOP donor, Bleyzer supported Perry's unsuccessful 2012 bid for the Republican presidential nomination. He is based in Perry's home state of Texas. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/469858-perry-backers-got-huge-ukraine-gas-deal-after-his-meeting-with-new [/quote]
