Erik Prince was identified by prosecutors as person in Stone indictment described as "a supporter involved with the Trump campaign” who Stone alerted Oct 3 2016 "the payload is coming" - 6 days before WikiLeaks started releasing damaging emails to Clinton
cnn.com/2019/11/06/pol…
“It isn't clear why Stone would have relayed that information to Prince. They didn't know each other prior to the campaign” a source said

Coincidentally Prince was often on Robert Mercer funded Breitbart & made big donations to Mercer PACs in Aug-Nov ‘16
cnn.com/2019/11/06/pol…
A few highlights of Erik Prince 2016 activities donating to pro-Trump Mercer PACs and promoting anti-Clinton stories on Breitbart from my Prince timeline - overlapping with Oct period he communicated with Stone about WikiLeaks email dump medium.com/@wsiegelman/fr…
And throughout period Erik Prince was in touch with Stone about WikiLeaks, Prince was in frequent contact with former Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica founder and Trump campaign chief exec Steve Bannon
Prince was also “coincidentally” promoting the same talking points as Giuliani in Oct and early November about Clinton emails and Anthony Weiner laptop investigation
To bring all the same players from 2016 full circle to the current news - Victoria Toensing & Joe diGenova who now rep Dmitry Firtash and are teamed up with Giuliani to help Trump are both long time lawyers for Erik Prince
And @RYP__ reminds me not to forget Erik Prince’s buddies Dana Rorhabacher and Charles / Chuck Johnson (who have both fallen completely of the media and investigation radar)
My reporting on Erik Prince started with this story I broke about Prince’s Chinese-owned Frontier Service Group business partner Johnson Chun Shun Ko on the board of the new Cambridge Analytica company Emerdata, with Rebekah and Jennifer Mercer
medium.com/@wsiegelman/ca…
I next wrote this story with timeline showing connections between Cambridge Analytica, Erik Prince and the UAE (and Saudi Arabia)
medium.com/@wsiegelman/fr…
I then wrote this

From DC to the DRC, Erik Prince keeps pitching new ideas — from proposals for privatized wars and spy agencies, to Frontier Services Group’s Belt and Road plans, to a new company that revives the infamous Blackwater brand medium.com/@wsiegelman/er…
I also did a deep dive into Erik Prince’s House testimony - looking past his belligerence and lies at some of the info he revealed
medium.com/@wsiegelman/a-…
Here’s a thread on a story I’ve been following on Erik Prince’s activities in Mozambique where his Chinese state owned company FSG was pushed out by Pirgozhin’s Wagner - but Prince has had major business ties to companies indicted in a $2 billion fraud

Manhattan DA Cy Vance Jr’s criminal investigation zeros in on Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg

Per source SDNY asked DA to "stand-down" & a year later SDNY concluded investigation

Now clock is running out on 2 year window for some charges, by @peterelkind
propublica.org/article/prosec…
@peterelkind Per two sources, On October 30, a handful of lawyers and investigators from Vance’s office traveled to the federal minimum-security prison to meet for a third time with Michael Cohen - much of the discussion involved Weisselberg.
propublica.org/article/prosec…
@peterelkind This is not surprising, but still so ridiculous - Trump’s business turned over 3,376 pages of documents, court filings show - a filing by the DA asserted that “approximately two-thirds” were “non-substantive Google alerts” 🙄

“On or about Oct 3, 2016, STONE wrote to *a supporter* involved with the Trump Campaign: Spoke to my friend in London last night. The payload is coming.”

‘A supporter’ is ERIK PRINCE.

Erik Prince was chatting with Stone about Assange and Wikileaks email dumps in Oct 2016.
Minutes into their opening statement, prosecutors linked the charges against Stone directly to Trump, citing phone records that showed the two talking at key moments.

“Roger Stone lied to Congress because the truth looked bad for Donald Trump.”

We Have Seen the Mueller Report –– And It’s Spectacular

1/
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is nearing the end of his 20-month probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. When the investigation closes he must provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining his prosecutorial decisions.

2/
In anticipation, some pundits warn us to dial down the enthusiasm. It'll be anti-climactic, they caution. Don’t expect a public report, some say. Ignore them. Pay attention to documents already filed. Through them, we/ve seen much of the Mueller Report. And it is spectacular 3/

The key paragraph in the indictment of Stone:
STONE’s False and Misleading Testimony About Communications with the Trump Campaign
35. During his HPSCI testimony, STONE was asked, “did you discuss your conversations with
the intermediary with anyone involved in the Trump campaign?

individuals involved in the Trump Campaign about what he claimed to have learned from his
intermediary to Organization 1, including the following:

materials possessed by Organization 1 and the timing of future releases.
b. On or about October 3, 2016, STONE wrote to a supporter involved with the Trump
