Erik Prince, brother of Betsy DeVos and Blackwater founder (now called Academi) plans to privatize the war in Afgh. Prince calls his proposal "A Strategic Economy of Force." What does that mean?
It entails sending 5,500 contractors to Afghanistan to embed with Afghan National Security Forces, and appointing a "viceroy" to oversee the whole endeavor. Under Prince’s plan, the viceroy would be a federal official who reports to the President and is empowered to make decisions about State Department, DoD, and intelligence community functions in-country.
I mean, holy ____. I can't even.
Oh. And Prince is in China right now setting up a private army for the Chinese. Google that one if you want your hackles raised.
Also, google Eric Prince, Russia, and Mueller. Go down the rabbit hole on that one. Jesus ____ the GOP is so compromised.
But, yeah. I mean I just ate at Chik-fil-A today, so the buffet table before us just looks like a bunch of garbled nonsense and there's totally nothing there.

Blackwater has been under contract in R and D administrations, sadly. Prince has been pushing his mercenary dream for a long time. Halliburton to do logistics and whatever corp shell Prince runs run tactical. Seriously, this is the kind of thing he wants. And do you think Trump would care about military institutions any more than he does anything else? Hell, he probably can't wait to fire all the soldiers and replace them with drones and Terminators. F your Constitution, we have Trump.

If Markk and the wondrous bubble brain don't have any idea what I'm talking about, because why would they? Why would they care about our democracy? The attorneys on the Special Counsel are some of the best in each of their respective areas of expertise.
The first guy's name is Michael Dreeben who's a Justice Department deputy solicitor general who has argued more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court.
The second gal's name is Zainab Ahmad who's an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York who specializes in counterterrorism cases. She was recently profiled in the New Yorker, which reported she had successfully prosecuted 13 terrorism cases since 2009 without a single loss.
Now. Tell me, Markk. 1) Did you know about this development, and if not, why not? and 2) Why would these tier-one prosecutors be brought in if there was nothing there?

Are you done discussing Butina and the affidavit? You did not answer any of my questions, chiefly how does the affidavit, which you quoted tie Trump to any Russian colusion.

Well, at least you finally spelled her name correctly.
Sure. Let's discuss Butina.
First off, please explain why she was arrested.

What's wrong, Markk? Why aren't you addressing all of the other issues in this thread? I haven't seen you address one. Tons of material put up and nothing from you but excuses and whatabouts.
Let's not "get this one of the way" until you start responding to some of the other information. You're ducking and dodging, playing games, hiding behind discounting "collusion" while the president's network of crooks is going down. You aren't fooling anybody.
Somewhat off-topic, but I would put good money on her being returned to Russia in the coming weeks/months.
I agree. I think the Whelan arrest was done so they could offer the US an exchange.

First off answer my questions....where in the affidavit, that you quoted as a smoking gun, does it show that Trump colluded with the Russians...remember this was your choice to start with this. My reading of the document says the she was going to try influence whomever was elected, 2 months befor the election..which in all likely hood in everybody mind was Hillary...the document implies that.
We have plenty of time to discuss her in detail...and if Trump is guilty of colusion with her, then he should go to jail...but lets start with what you presented as the smoking gun, where does the affidavit show let alone prove Trump colluded with her...and just to be clear, this is based on your assertion.

We can't discuss any aspect of the 'Butina affidavit' intelligently unless I have an understanding of your understanding as to why she was arrested. So. I ask again, please explain why Maria Butina was arrested.

Trump endorsed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan today. I swear, he's scientifically designed to show how much so many conservatives will put partisanship over their supposed political principles.
