Erik Prince, the billionaire founder of military contractor Blackwater, is charging $6,500 per seat on a chartered plane out of Afghanistan, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. Prince told the newspaper that $6,500 covered getting the passenger into the airport as well, though the paper noted that it was not clear whether he actually had the ability to accomplish such maneuvering
 
White House press secretary Jen Psaki criticized Prince — whose company made millions from the war in Afghanistan — when asked about his decision to charge desperate Afghans thousands of dollars to escape a potential death sentence.

Judge sanctions pro-Trump lawyers who brought 'frivolous' election fraud lawsuits

Source: CNN

A federal judge ordered sanctions Wednesday for Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and several other lawyers who worked on Trump-aligned lawsuits seeking to challenge the results of the 2020 election.

US District Judge Linda Parker, of the Eastern District of Michigan, said the lawyers had "engaged in litigation practices" that were "abusive and, in turn, sanctionable."

"Sanctions are required to deter the filing of future frivolous lawsuits designed primarily to spread the narrative that our election processes are rigged and our democratic institutions cannot be trusted," the judge wrote in a 110-page opinion.

Parker is ordering the lawyers to reimburse the attorneys' fees that the city of Detroit and Michigan state officials paid in seeking the sanctions. The lawyers must also take legal education classes, the judge said, and she is referring her decision to the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, and "the appropriate disciplinary authority for the jurisdiction(s) where each attorney is admitted," for potential disciplinary action.

$6,500 is a deal. Try booking private a 767 from LA to Dallas.

“The narrowest wide body in service, the Boeing B-767 features an impressive range and a cabin unique in its width, typically seating 7 abreast in economy configuration. In addition to seating 326 passengers, one of the most in the class, the 767 boasts a fast cruising speed of 459 mph.

Those prices are for non-conflict zone flights. Also the price includes idle time while on the ground.
