Adam Schiff to make criminal referral for Erik Prince to DOJ

“House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told the Washington Post on Tuesday that his committee will make a criminal referral for informal Trump campaign adviser Erik Prince to the Justice Department.

The big picture: "The evidence strongly suggests that he misled our committee," Schiff told the Post's Robert Costa. During the 2016 campaign, Prince — the founder of private military company Blackwater and the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos — met with Donald Trump Jr., United Arab Emirates emissary George Nader and Israeli social media manipulation specialist Joel Zamel at Trump Tower. Earlier this month, Schiff said on "Meet the Press" that Prince did not tell the committee about the meeting during his testimony, despite claiming to Al Jazeera's Mehdi Hasan that he had done so.

•Schiff said that whether or not the Justice Department will choose to prosecute Prince remains unclear. The evidence that shows Prince misled the committee may have come in his proffer sessions with special counsel Robert Mueller, which may protect him from charges.”

Joel Zamel, Israeli social media manipulation specialist? Really? And you pass right over this, Mr. Schiff and everyone else on this board? How about investigating what Mr. Zamel does for a living. Has he been manipulating our social media? Why would Prince be meeting with him about? I'll give you a few hints. Say the words "freedom" "liberty" "patriot" every time you want to increase the Defense budget or hire Blackwater to overthrow some tinpot Third World dictator.
