{at secret Seychelles meeting }
EXCLUSIVE Erik Prince tells Fox News that there was no perjury, no collusion and no attempt to set up a back channel to the Kremlin when he met with a Russian oligarch weeks before President Donald Trumps inauguration.
Prince, who is the founder of the Blackwater private security firm and brother to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, says accusations that he lied to the House Intelligence Committee simply arent true.
{snip} ... Prince, who testified without an attorney present, says his comments about meetings with the UAE government, its advisers and delegations in the Seychelles cover Nader who worked for the Emiratis.
Now Schiff wants Prince to testify again before the committee; Prince tells Fox News, There is no need. Schiff is grasping at straws, and his feelings were hurt when I scolded them about leaking my work I did as a CIA (nonofficial cover officer the most dangerous of intelligence work).

someone posted a list on FR showing Nader donated to Hillary Clinton at some point. if possible, would someone post it again, as I can’t find it.
Well.... not this one.
"while the Israelis want to be sure he does not give Iran a pass when it comes to nuclear weapons."
Aren’t back channels an essential safety valve for diplomacy run amok? I refer you to The Sum of all Fears.
Okay,
thanks
much.
well, if any back channels were set up, the most obvious one would be with the UAE, which was followed by the Saudi visit and the visit to Israel, which led to more aggressive stances by both towards terrorism (and Iran/Yemen) and more cooperation, along with Egypt, amongst them. And, for Saudi, women drivers starting June 2018 as well as the first visit by a Prince to a Coptic church, and for Iran, youth challenging authoritarian rule and Yemen rethinking who their friends are. In six months. Not bad for a single back channel meeting.
