Page 97. Castro asks him about a Nov 4 2016 Breitbart article in which he claimed to have inside knowledge of FBI and NYPD investigations about Clinton emails and Weiners computer. He refuses to answer, then he says some stuff that’s redacted.

Early on lots of bitching about illegal leaks that disclosed his Seychelles meeting. Then a lot of I don’t remember what we talked about, I don’t remember which hotel, blah blah blah.

Among other things… they appear to be asking him his opinion of the “unmasking scandal”… you know, the one where a bunch of Trump Campaign folks met with the Crown Prince of some Emirate or another to talk about setting up [an illegal] back-channel, secure comms system with the Russians.

I find it interesting, always, people who are obviously very busy and in need of extreme scheduling and note taking to keep it all together, seem to have so little recall.

Proving he’s a fool to spar with our legally elected officials, copping an attitude and refusing to answer the important questions. Hoo-boy, he’s such an ass he likely didn’t even consult an attorney who would have warned him on how to act and answer. Dumb indeed!

This guy… a theocrat, autocrat, kleptocrat who gathered himself a mercenary crew he called “Blackwater” (why not Cobra? We may never know!), who had Kiplingesque delusions of being appointed, quote, Viceroy, unquote, of Afghanistan, who is responsible for multiple war crimes including murder and torture…This guy, in short, is so cartoonishly evil he simply has to live in a volcano surrounded by a moat full of sharks with lasers on their heads.

I am only just starting to read this. But in reading Adam Schiff’s pre-testimony statement, it really makes me angry that the Majority Party is apparently distributing the documents produced by witnesses at the beginning of the respective witness’ testimony. This is one more proof that the Republicans are conducting these hearings in a spirit similar or worse to their sabotage and obstruction of the Iran-Contra Hearings.

Right…and Blackwater didn’t stand t make bank being involved in the “security” for nuclear power plants in the middle east and won’t make bank in future activities int he middle east now that Trump has deliberately committed diplomatic arson in the region in order to manufacture the events that will give him an excuse to play war games and, he hopes, drop a nuke.

Hahaha! They’re withholding the documents so they can’t be reviewed in preparation for the depo? Fucking disgusting…but predictable.

They are all beginning to remind me of arrogant mafioso that think they have the game rigged. Waiting for Youse instead of you appearing in their statements. Like in “Youse mooks are wasting my time”.

This is a guy who could do a good deed by spending the rest of his life in prison.

I think I have seen a half-dozen episodes of different crime shows where an obvious Erik Prince clone is the culprit for murder. He’s such a caricature.

My colleague interviewed him for his security clearance a few years ago. He was just a folksy, down home kind of guy. She did feel the air around her get very cold, though.

Erik Prince denies…“Well, he would, wouldn’t he.”

Don’t forget the abuse of underage Afghan sex workers Blackwater contractors indulged in. Prince is a real sweetheart.

Erik Prince is interested in one thing and one thing only; killing Muslims for money.
