The bad news is that #WilliamBarr stained DoJ investigation into Erik Prince for ITAR/FCPA/Espionage will be buried. Trump #quidproquo is now officially normalized. I guess Donald needs that DeVos money to get relected. The good news is that they didn't get all the evidence.
Prince has been down this road before, in the same countries with the same rulers. One of the reasons he had to sell his businesses and move to Abu Dhabi. Since then he has learned not to be so clumsy in writing his mercenary proposals for dictators. nytimes.com/2010/08/21/wor…
Prince has also moved on from trying to flog his two illegal Thrushes and is flogging old dictator junk to dictators. If we do this Afghanistan deal, Erik even might get a crack at his $3.5B mercs for minerals gig. surprise...Erik's Thrush aircraft buzzfeednews.com/article/aramro…
We are entering an era of transactional government. Bought and sold. Minions ordered to protect donors or supporters, to gather and bury evidence and to be used as a weapon against political opponents. We live in dangerous times. prospect.org/politics/willi…
You can take heart... other nations and entities have their focus squarely on Prince as a rogue actor. By Trump and Barr normalizing Prince's incompetent proxy armies and promoting his agenda, it will be left to less moral nations to solve the problem. cnn.com/2020/01/11/pol…
Hostile nations have a vision of Prince that is disturbingly similar to Bin Laden and the Saudi wahabist Deep State Prince as a soft hands, angry rich kid vendor of mercenary violence resonates in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and more. dailykos.com/stories/2009/1…
It is not just competing nations that target Prince. His involvement with Chicom, Russian, Ukraine, UAE, KSA, LNA and other interests are puzzling even when viewed as "cause for status/action" One of Erik's favorite phrases for his many corporate fronts. theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…
