Erik Prince Recruits Ex-Spies to Help Infiltrate Liberal Groups

WASHINGTON — Erik Prince, the security contractor with close ties to the Trump administration, has in recent years helped recruit former American and British spies for secretive intelligence-gathering operations that included infiltrating Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda, according to interviews and documents.

One of the former spies, an ex-MI6 officer named Richard Seddon, helped run a 2017 operation to copy files and record conversations in a Michigan office of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the largest teachers’ unions in the nation. Mr. Seddon directed an undercover operative to secretly tape the union’s local leaders and try to gather information that could be made public to damage the organization, documents show.

Using a different alias the next year, the same undercover operative infiltrated the congressional campaign of Abigail Spanberger, then a former C.I.A. officer who went on to win an important House seat in Virginia as a Democrat. The campaign discovered the operative and fired her.

Both operations were run by Project Veritas, a conservative group that has gained attention using hidden cameras and microphones for sting operations on news organizations, Democratic politicians and liberal advocacy groups. Mr. Seddon’s role in the teachers’ union operation — detailed in internal Project Veritas emails that have emerged from the discovery process of a court battle between the group and the union — has not previously been reported, nor has Mr. Prince’s role in recruiting Mr. Seddon for the group’s activities.

Fake news to excuse/cover up Obama and Hillary’s spying on the Trump campaign and first year activities of the Trump administration. They are nervous about the Durham report coming out this summer.

I’d rather have private “spies” paid out of private funds and doing the Lord’s work than federal bureaucrat spies who target a presidential campaign, do their best to disrupt it, try to cause it to lose and then prevent its policies being put into place after he wins the election, that uses the resources we as taxpayers provide, and abuses the judicial system with the active involvement of an investigative service whose antics would make the Gestapo blush - all with our money.

And if Trump would have lost the election, we would have never known how widespread and deep Washington's corruption is.

“I wish to demonstrate further the infelicity of these arms. The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way.”

Heartwarming to see folks stepping up and doing the work that must be done, to defend our Great Republic from organized sedition and sabotage by Leftists.

Necessary policing - a great benefit of a having a functioning adversarial competitive process in our politics, were both sides are incentivized to rat each other out.

As I recall, Medea Benjamin and her Code Pink pals pushed their way into Erik Prince’s home while he was away and only his wife was there.

Robert Mueller exploited cellphone GPS to track Trump associates

Robert Mueller says he was able to pinpoint security company executive Erik Prince’s precise location for several hours in January 2017 by matching his mobile phone signal to a cell site near Trump Tower in New York City. The special counsel’s report discloses the use of this investigative technique, by which police determine a suspect’s location via a cellphone’s GPS signal. The Prince narrative is one instance in unredacted sections of the report in which Mr. Mueller’s team explicitly discloses cellphone tracking. It raises the question of whether the FBI applied the process to other investigative subjects — a phone’s...

Some teachers have been found as part of Antifa. The schools are the centers of left radicalism.

Has anyone looked up “shooting, Provo, Utah”? Look it up you will see a group of what appears to be high schoolers blocking a car at an intersection. One of these kids pulls out a gun and shoots the driver who then speeds away only to be met by another gunman standing in the middle of the street who takes a second shot at him.

The driver was injured but survived.

These are kids who are stone hearted haters and killers and they don’t come from disadvantaged communities.
