Gregg Smith was lied to and deceived by his long time friend and business partner Erik Prince. That needless deception and violation of trust is a hall mark of Erik Prince's career. Now that the public understands his true character EP hopes that Trump will throw him a lifeline.
A number or reporters have gone back and revisited their stories on Prince. Their editors felt they were politically motivated just as Prince insisted that his 2010 exile and destruction was driven by politics. No, his downfall was driven by careless, criminal and deceitful acts.
His Deferred Prosecution Agreement and Fed investigations created a very bitter man who began double dealing with entities and willfully violating international laws. All while bragging that he was not financially involved. He was. Using a roster of arms length corps and shills.
His recent infamy was a desperate attempt to insert himself between Putin and the Trump admin. Something Nader had done in a 2012 $4.2B Iraqi arms deal between Maliki and Putin. Gerson and Kushner had the inside track with Putin. Prince and Nader tried to hijack the deal.
In 2012 Nader actually flew into the same Moscow hotel as the official arms deal and insisted Putin negotiate only with him. Putin bounced Nader's ass and Iraq killed the deal. al-monitor.com/pulse/original…
