Retired CIA Agent Working With Blackwater Claims H.R. McMaster Approved NSA Spy Job On Trump Family
One News Page ^ | 12-6-2017

Posted on 12/06/2017 5:34:29 AM PST by blam

A retired CIA officer reportedly working with Blackwater founder Erik Prince to pitch the White House on a global, private spy network which as we reported yesterday would allow the White House to circumvent and counter "deep state enemies" within U.S. intelligence agencies, is said to have made the stunning claim that National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster worked with the NSA to perform surveillance on Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, Steve Bannon and others, according to a report in The Intercept.

Former CIA agent John R. Maguire and Blackwater founder Erik Prince

The former CIA agent, John R. Maguire - a Trump transition team member who works for intelligence contractor Amyntor Group, spent over two decades as a paramilitary officer - including tours in Central America working with the Contras. After retiring, Maguire hooked up with Blackwater founder Erik Prince in what has been a long and fruitful professional relationship.

While Maguire and Prince deny they are working together on the White House's "private spy network," current and former U.S. officials as well as Trump donors say otherwise, as The Intercept reports:

The former senior intelligence official with direct knowledge of the efforts scoffed at Princes denials. Eriks proposal had no company names on the slides, this person said, but there is no doubt that Prince and Maguire were working together.

Prince is reported to have told a top Trump fundraiser that he and Maguire are working together, and the two had been going around to Trump fundraisers to generate support for private military contracting efforts in Afghanistan until a CIA contract materialized for the project.

During these conversations, Maguire told donors that Obama administration holdovers were withholding information from President Trump

Now seems to be a propitious time to bring back hangings in the public square.

An almost incoherent article, but if reports are accurate about Trump people setting up their own spy network is true, then something is way out of control in the intelligence agencies.

I remember reading about James Schlesinger being appointed to fire a bunch of CIA personnel. I think it is time to send in some type of SWAT team and round up all the intelligence officers and have them searched and marched out of the buildings. They have long ceased being a watchdog agency for the nation. They have morphed into a traitorous gang seeking their own power.

So let me get this straight: an online magazine that no one has heard about is quoting something called "The Intercept" that swears it knows an unnamed source that heard that Prince and Maguire are working together on a top secret project that is uber secret. Further, this unnamed source was able to find out from these two super-secret operators that H.R. McMaster was previously spying on the Trump family even though McMaster was not working for an intelligence agency under the Obama Presidency.

Riiiiiiight...

Everone should at least read THIS PARAGRAPH:

”Prince is reported to have told a top Trump fundraiser that he and Maguire are working together, and the two had been going around to Trump fundraisers to generate support for private military contracting efforts in Afghanistan until a CIA contract materialized for the project.”

The term “Private Military Contracting” surely infers a perfectly legitimate scenario where a private company with assured loyalty to Trump offers it’s services to the U.S. government. OK, we are talking about The Spook Business here. So what? I just don’t see a problem for anyone except some leftover Obama people messing with Trumps head who need to be fired ASAP.

What? You never read Nathaniel Hawthorne? He was a master of run-on sentences. It was about the only time diagramming sentence skills came in handy.

Until proven otherwise, I’m taking this story as part of a Dem disinformation campaign against Trump &/or McMaster.

Trump has one viable option.

Send in the Marines.

Otherwise this whole thing has been a colossal waste of time.

He doesn’t stand a chance against the FBI/CIA etc., he has no control over his own Agencies, and that means UN ELECTED SPOOKS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT AND OUR TAX DOLLARS.

So far the only winners here a year in are Goldman Sachs and corporations.

Now would be a good time for Trump to declare a State of Emergency, drop a MOAB on Congress and start rounding up domestic enemies Erdogan style.

Hell, I’d pay all kinds of extra taxes if he could pull that off.

Hell, even a retarded bus driver from Venezuela has no problem keeping the Press, Supreme Court, the Congress, and his domestic opposition under control.

They don’t fear Trump, and if he doesn’t make them do so soon, it’s all over.

That would, certainly, explain why the swamp hasn’t been drained.
