1- Erik Prince pre-inauguration meeting w/Russia again shows needless & detrimental action by Trump admin washingtonpost.com/world/national…
4:04 PM - 3 Apr 2017

Blackwater founder held secret Seychelles meeting to establish Trump-Putin back channel
Erik Prince met with a Russian close to the Kremlin in a meeting brokered by the United Arab Emirates.
  Washington Post @washingtonpost
   
2- Prince meeting w/Russia appears along side zealous Flynn - NO reason to rush these things before inauguration, can only undermine mandate

3- everytime I give Trump admin benefit of doubt on collusion w/ Russia a secret meeting arises where shady characters do non-official biz

4- why rush the Russia issue when Trump is already under scrutiny, answer is Flynn and obsession with Iran

5- now have Prince, an agent behalf of many countries doing US gov relations with a country that just influenced the election in Trump favor

6- Prince backdoor meeting comes before Mattis & other responsible adults are even on board, its DANGEROUS, executors not informed on policy

7- all of this could have waited until post inauguration, when coordinated through deliberate policy development process inclusive of adults

8-doing this before inauguration before Mattis Kelly McMaster (post Flynn) in place shows they have no understanding of implications actions

Replying to @POTUS
9- pushing agenda/bias/preferences via Prince is not good for America, hoping, praying @potus didn't know about this
