Funny things I've found out:
Rick Perry was on the board of directors for the parent company of the Dakota Access pipeline until he resigned a few weeks ago.
The CEO of that company gave over $100,000 to Trump's campaign. He also gave $6M to Perry's 2016 campaign.
The other parent company with controlling stake is the top crude oil spiller in the US since 2010.
That all seems legit, right? What could go wrong?

I was thinking the other day how my tap water didn't have enough crude oil in it.
Can any of you conservatives shed some light on this for me as to why risking the pollution of the biggest aquifer in North America is a good thing?

I seem to recall that most studies show a spill would not affect the aquifer. That said, there would still be a surface impact, and possible impact to rivers and tributaries that it crosses.
Even if the pipeline was 100% safe I wouldn't be onboard with it. It has little benifit to the US and it's not an area of energy we need to be focusing on.

I'm sure he did, just like he divested himself from his companies and was going to produce his tax returns.

I mean, good for him for divesting, I guess. But you're right. We've reached a point where I just assume this administration is lying or using "alternate facts" or "disagreeing with the facts" or whatever you want to call it if I don't see proof for a claim. They basically make things up to fit their narrative.
Regarding the pipelines themselves, he may have divested, but this just REEKS of crony capitalism. Trump and Perry doing a big favor for a buddy.
