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.
