| Schiff makes criminal referral to DOJ for Erik Prince |
| 2019-05-01 |
| [Politico] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Tuesday made a criminal referral to the Justice Department for Erik Prince based on evidence that "strongly indicates" the Trump ally lied to Congress. In a letter to Attorney General William Barr, Schiff claimed Prince, the billionaire founder of a military contracting firm, intentionally misled the House Intelligence Committee and impaired their probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Schiff wrote the publication of the Mueller report shed light on discrepancies between Prince's interview with the special counsel and his testimony before the committee in November 2017, when he denied he was attempting to establish a back channel between Russia and Trump during the president’s transition. "Mr. Prince’s false statements hindered the Committee’s ability to fully understand and examine foreign efforts to undermine our political process and national security, develop appropriate legislative and policy remedies to counter future malign influence operations targeting campaigns and presidential transitions, and inform the American public, as appropriate," Schiff wrote in the letter. Schiff highlighted six instances in which information revealed about Prince in the Mueller report diverged from his testimony before the committee. He homed in on Prince's meeting with a Russian banker who is reportedly close to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Seychelles islands in January 2017, an encounter Prince later told congressional officials took place purely by chance. |

| #5 Schiff has got the common sense of a mushroom! Think about it Prince found several PMCs. Not just Blackwater's but one for China with thousands of ex-PLA in it and an aviation one for Africa. A man whose people can kill on industrial scale for their boss.... Really Adam think about that.... You Adam were not even important enough for a raised eyebrow from Meyer Lansky when he was Murder Inc's Don. But you would have pissed in your pants in Meyer's presence ... and Murder Inc. never ever killed as many people as BlackWater let alone the ChiCom PMC and you are insulting and dissing this guy? Do you have an ounce of self preservation anywhere in your stunted brain? What happens when the day comes when Prince feels you are a pain in the ass. Enough of one that he doesn't care about Trump or Republicans and just wants your pimpled ass roasting over some fire in Central Asia or Africa.... |

| #4 This little pencil-necked pest has never shown any evidence for his claims. What's he covering-up by his diversion moves that are in his closet? I guess Schiff is celebrating May Day with his hubbub and noise. |
