Where were all these people now calling for Erik Prince’s arrest when he was running a privatized murder machine in Iraq and Afghanistan? He was still getting contracts under OBAMA. HIllary Clinton was Secretary if State and was technically in charge.
Also, Erik Prince is holding a fundraiser for “pro-Russia” Dana Rohrabacher? *Clutches pearls*
Prince worked for Rohrabacher. They are close friends for decades.

You think Erik and Russia is the issue? He is running a “security” business with the Chinese government right now.
The one Congressperson who really tried to shut Erik Prince down was @janschakowsky. She’s been all over him for over a decade. No one listened. Including her own party leadership.
If Erik Prince had been held accountable when the Democrats controlled Congress or when Obama was president, we wouldn’t be talking about what he’s doing with Trump or with Russians in the Seychelles.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad people are learning about Erik Prince. But he should have been shut down a long time ago. I’ve spent 13 years trying to bring his horrid activities to light. It never should have gotten this far.
Also, credit where due regarding cable news: @KeithOlbermann @maddow and @chrislhayes covered Erik Prince and Blackwater extensively years ago.
It’s interesting to note who is pushing the line that we should move on from the past and just focus on recent Erik Prince activities. I assure you the families of civilians slaughtered by his forces have not. But they are foreign Muslims, so justice for them doesn’t matter.
As for some of the #Resistance people jumping on here to attack @theintercept, we have broken some of the most substantial stories about Erik Prince and Trump. But that’s inconvenient to your narrative.
Gotta run. Thanks for reading and for (most of your) comments.
