If trump gets exonerated with all this I'd be extremely surprised.

So if i get this article correct a brother of someone trump appointed as heading education in america

The DeVos family are owner/share-holders of Trump.

Betsy DeVos got her appointment as secretary of education despite virtually zero experience for this reason.

HER BROTHER...Eric Prince is the Founder of Blackwater and a close friend of Trump's and Steve Bannon.

Prince is too controversial to ever get an appointment...he is a mercenary who is right now training an elite army unit for China..

When the Trump-Russia connection got hot in Dec. Jan. ...Trump needed a back-channel to Putin.

Erik Prince established that.

As best we know the pitch to Russia was...Stop protecting Iran and Trump will lift US Sanctions.

On any list of loathsome Americans, Erik Prince has to be right at the top.

He got rich behind Blackwater, the renegade mercenary army that is responsible for a great deal of the hatred directed toward this country in the Middle East. (Privatized hatred was Blackwater's primary gift to the world.) Since his brand cratered (Blackwater was renamed Xe, pronounced, I believe, "Kill." It is now known as Academi. Why? Who knows?),

Prince has become an International Man of Sleaze, taking on clients from China to the UAE, which is probably how the meeting in the Seychelles came about, since it was brokered by the UAE government, and since prying Russia and Iran apart is something that the UAE would love to see happen.

Erik Prince is very close to Robert Mercer. Prince was also at the "Heroes and Villains" party that Mercer threw in Long Island after the election. And, in fact, there's a picture that Peter Thiel, the right-wing billionaire who destroyed Gawker—a picture of Peter Thiel, Donald Trump and Erik Prince, that Peter Thiel says is not safe for the internet.

But it's clear that Erik Prince, through Betsy DeVos, through Robert Mercer and through his very right-wing paramilitary crowd, has the ear of President-elect Donald Trump. And our understanding, from a very well-placed source, is that Prince has even been advising Trump on his selections for the staffing of the Defense Department and the State Department.

And, of course, Prince's sister, Betsy DeVos, is now the Secretary of Education.

From 2009...For those too young to remember..

THE most recent allegations against Blackwater, the American security company, are lurid.

Tasked with providing security for American officials in Iraq and Afghanistan, the company is already under investigation for shooting deaths in Iraq.

Now two former employees are accussing Erik Prince (pictured), Blackwater's boss, of wanting to start a religious crusade against Muslims. In an affidavit lodged with a court in Virginia, one of the witnesses said that Mr Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe." The statement continues


“To that end, Mr. Prince intentionally deployed to Iraq certain men who shared his vision of Christian supremacy, knowing and wanting these men to take every available opportunity to murder Iraqis. Many of these men used call signs based on the Knights of the Templar, the warriors who fought the Crusades.

Mr. Prince operated his companies in a manner that encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life. For example, Mr. Prince's executives would openly speak about going over to Iraq to "lay Hajiis out on cardboard." Going to Iraq to shoot and kill Iraqis was viewed as a sport or game. Mr. Prince's employees openly and consistently used racist and derogatory terms for Iraqis and other Arabs, such as "ragheads" or "hajiis."”

Mr Prince is further accused of trying to cover up Blackwater's misdeeds, which allegedly include profiteering and arms smuggling, by killing employees who tried to blow the whistle on the company.

March 2016

ERIK PRINCE, founder of the now-defunct mercenary firm Blackwater and current chairman of Frontier Services Group, is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies for attempting to broker military services to foreign governments and possible money laundering, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the case.

What began as an investigation into Prince’s attempts to sell defense services in Libya and other countries in Africa has widened to a probe of allegations that Prince received assistance from Chinese intelligence to set up an account for his Libya operations through the Bank of China. The Justice Department, which declined to comment for this article, is also seeking to uncover the precise nature of Prince’s relationship with Chinese intelligence.

Again from last March

For more than a year, U.S. intelligence has been monitoring Prince’s communications and movements, according to a former senior U.S. intelligence officer and a second former intelligence official briefed on the investigation.

This story sounds completely bogus. Now, I don't doubt Blackwater might try to use the UAE to broker a deal over Iran with the Russians, but it would be to gain advantage over or to thwart something Trump might do. And without his involvement. Blackwater is heavily invested in the deep state and not allied with Trump. There are some very bad people who hate Trump. I'm not talking about idiot low info left wingers, I mean NWO power brokers.

More connections between Trump and the Russians, this time, with Erik Prince of Blackwater fame in the mix.

So after he was elected. Ahh who cares? You think these secret channels are new, they aren't. They make sense, it's how stuff gets done, and the normal secret channels can't be used because Obama's people are leaking everything to hurt Trump.

Erik Prince is close friends with Bannon and Trump...

This is public knowledge going back a couple years...from interviews on Breibart to the Mercer Family...to Erik Prince attending the party "Heroes and Villians" celebrating Trump's win. His sister was made Sec. of Education.

Reality at large disagrees with your unsubstantiated opinion.

a reply to: Gryphon66

haha I'm still waiting for the WH to repeat Nixon word for word, "If the president does it, that means it’s not illegal."

Prince probably already dug a secret back channel hole to China....

To ensure it remains close to its customers, [Frontier Services Group] will be opening a forward operating base in China's Yunnan province. This will allow FSG to be able to better serve companies in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Subsequently, FSG will be opening a forward operating base in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to serve businesses in the surrounding countries. These bases will provide training, communications, risk mitigation, risk assessments, information gathering, medevac and joint operations centers that coordinate security, logistics and aviation services.

Frontier Services Group Strategy Update

FSG will support China's trade venture
China’s One Belt, One Road: Will it reshape global trade?

As Trump is set to meet with China's leader, he probably will think that One Belt One Road refers to his clothing accessory and Fifth Avenue.

Wanting a businessman in the Oval Office does not translate into someone who understands the world outside of a business deal. This current incompetence of understanding is scary sh#t. The following article is in re to Russia alone, and this is where Erik Prince's back door comes in as not a good thing

Putin Is Soft on Terrorism While St. Petersburg mourns the dead, Russia’s president is calling for a war against terrorists. Don’t fall for it.

As with many things, the Kremlin’s narrative about fighting terror looks flawless on Russian television. But Americans must understand the reality behind this fiction, or risk getting blamed for the Kremlin’s crimes.

Both Trump and his administration's understanding of world affairs seems to be like Russia's lone aircraft carrier. They both are of limited use, experience breakdowns and problems, and belch smoke. God help us!

Hmm...OK..

Then why doesn't the WH admit this? Why are they hiding it?
They should just come out and explain the meeting? Right?
Why is Erik Prince denying it?

People typically don't cover up and lie about legit activities...Just ask Michael Flynn.

Why would Trump, or any president, talk about secret discussions?

More partisan BS. You don't believe it too, do you?

One "side" is good and the other "side" is evil?

Noone on this site is more partisan than you, is this supposed to be a joke ?

I do hear you.

I have no doubt that you do hear me. The problem is others that cannot address the issues without pushing a partisan, knee-jerk narrative and they do not look at the issue with a passion for truth and honesty.

It's all about sticking-up for their "team".

You should man up and tell Gryphon the truth, he is as hypocritical as it gets, if this was a report against his "team" he would then take 80 posts telling everyone nothing to see.

Trump wasn't President when it happened.

You missed that part..The part where offering to lift in US Sanctions on Russia was illegal at the time.

Why the rush to violate the logan act?

Why use a vile human being like Erik Prince to secretly represent you in that illegal offer?

My point was that all of these threads you are making are going to look really silly when the truth comes out and Trump is exonerated.

And these threads of yours will look even more silly in 2020 when he gets reelected.

Resistance is futile.

Haha.. hardly...

Well we know that Blackwater is a terrible company. They're the hired henchmen of Monsanto and have been accused of many war Atrocities. Nothing they do would surprise me.

LOL .. I'm not even a Democrat.

You have no room to talk about partisanship however. Zero.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

Right.

AFTER Trump was elected.

He could call Putin on the phone if he wanted to.

a reply to: Indigo5

The most viable explanation thus far Indigo. Well done.
