The proposals for the network were reportedly developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince who is also the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos as well as retired CIA officer John Maguire and Oliver North, who was heavily involved in the Iran-Contra scandal and was reportedly brought on board to sell the effort to the administration. The spies would be off the books, sidestepping official U.S. intelligence agencies and would report directly to CIA Director Mike Pompeo, according to current and former U.S. intelligence officials, the Intercept reported. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/363308-trump-considering-global-spy-network-to-combat-deep-state-enemies Article's from December, but this stinks to me after some changes since then. Mainly: 1) Erik Prince was just revealed to be in the Trump Tower meeting from August 2016 (not the original "Trump Tower meeting" we're used to talking about from June 2016). 2) Oliver North became President of the NRA earlier this month at a time when we're learning more about how Russia's funded them. Meanwhile, Mike Pompeo was voted to be the new Secretary of State and Gina Haspel has filled his former position at the CIA. I don't know much about John Maguire. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq ... Copied to Clipboard! |
