Chris Plante is right. The media doesn’t follow the news. Today’s bombshell involves a meeting between Trump supporters Erik Prince and George Nader that has been public knowledge for 3 months. The only thing secret about the meeting is that CNN just heard about it.
On December 6, 2017, Bloomberg reported that Blackwater founder Erik Prince held a January 2017 meeting in the Seychelles with potential business customers from the United Arab Emirates. During the meeting, one of the UAE participants suggested Prince pursue a business lead with a Russian hedge fund manager who was also in town. Prince took up the lead and met with Kirill Dmitriev for about 30 minutes, or “one beer.” I reported on that meeting over a month ago here.
The deranged Adam Schiff grilled Prince in a House Intelligence panel on December 1, 2017. Schiff imagined that Prince was acting to establish a back-channel between Trump and the Russians. The 100-page transcript of the testimony was released on December 6, but maybe CNN was busy covering another blockbuster that day, like how many Diet Cokes Trump drinks.
The entire point of the Democrats’ asinine Trump-Russia collusion charge is that Trump held secret talks with Russians throughout 2016 to somehow win the election. So how is it that in January 2017 Trump needed a person not associated with his campaign to establish a back-channel? Wasn’t he already doing that? The Steele Dossier claims that Trump already had Putin in his back pocket.
Democrats display dazzling economic igorance
Schiff told Bloomberg at the time that Prince “could not adequately explain why he traveled halfway around the world to meet with U.A.E. officials and, ultimately, the head of the Russian fund.”
Erik Prince is in the international security business. Only a blockhead like Schiff could be dumbfounded that such a person would travel to the area of the world where he conducts all his business, to meet with people experiencing the problems that Prince’s business addresses. Should Prince be meeting in, say, Ohio, with representatives of wedding cake bakers?
The equally demented California Democrat Eric Swalwell is aghast that Mr. Prince did not mention his meeting with obscure American businessman George Nader, who also had business there. CNN’s solid reporting tells us that Nader is a “Middle East specialist with ties to the Trump team.” No details, just “ties to the Trump team.” CNN ominously labels Nader a “man of mystery.”
Well blow me down! Two men with businesses in the Middle East met with people from the Middle East and a Russian also doing business in the Middle East! CNN doesn’t know of any other instances where international businessmen meet with foreigners about international business.
What’s worse, CNN reports that this “powerful businessman with ties to the Middle East is now cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.” Now, cooperating with Mueller’s witch hunt indicates nefariousness.
CNN is so far down the rabbit hole that anything in the world can be seen as evidence confirming their delusion. This is because they take at face value the moronic assertions of nitwits like Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell.
A Clue for the Conspiracy News Network
Eric Prince has nothing to do with the Trump team. He is a supporter and donor like countless other people. He was so worried about his House testimony that he did not even hire counsel going into it. When CNN finds out about this, it will no doubt indicate to them just how sinister his actions really were.
Did you know that Obama’s transition team sent “insiders” to Russia in 2008 and held secret back-channel negotiations with Iran? If you do, don’t tell CNN. They’re already stressed sending bloodhounds “halfway around the world” interviewing hookers about more insane allegations against the evil Trump.
CNN, the Democrats and their blind followers need an intervention. Trump should provide one by pulling the plug on Mueller’s folly and releasing every bit of their contrived “evidence.” Then we can move on to real scandals like Melania’s shoes and Trump’s ice cream eating habits.
