2020 Eric Prince
Erik Prince, a major Trump donor, brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, founded a mercenary company, Blackwater, to enrich himself during the failed polices of former President GW Bush. He obtained lucrative Pentagon contracts during the illegal invasion of Iraq and war in Afghanistan. He gained notoriety in Iraq for the slaughter of innocent Iraqi civilians; he is thought to be behind the secret back channel communication to facilitate Vladimir Putin’s efforts to influence the 2016 election. The shady actives of Prince have been exposed by the New York Times.
His company includes former CIA and MI6 operatives who have infiltrated into campaigns hostile to Trump’s reelection. This includes Democratic institutions and labor unions.
The close alliance between Trump and Russian officials has come under renewed intense media scrutiny. Price has used his Amway fortune and his Blackwater “soldiers for hire” company to establish relationships with many autocratic regimes in the Middle East amassing $billions in lucrative contracts. In 2011he received $529 million from the United Arab Emirates to create an army of foreign fighters. To cement their relationship, the crown prince brokered a meeting with Russian and Trump officials. It is time for the Senate to summon Prince to testify and explain his lucrative contracts with anti-democratic regimes and his contacts with Russia.
It is profoundly disturbing that Trump-branded conservatives regard fellow liberal Democrats as the “enemy” while cozying up to the wily Putin and team Russia.
