Rachel Maddow Just Blew the Latest Russia Stunner Wide Open: Who Would Have Thought that Betsy DeVos Was Right in the Middle of It
Folks, Maddow just blew this story wide open. And it’s huge.
Billionaire brother of Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, is Erik Prince. Erik not only represents his family as one of many hard-right, social-conservative activists who have poured millions and millions into organizations and people who would push a far-right agenda. He also is the founder of Blackwater – a company the United States has hired in an attempt to privatize some of the war in Iraq. They represent how people can make money by turning war into a for-profit enterprise
You might recall Blackwater – several contractors were convicted of killing seventeen unarmed Iraqi civilians. The company was forced to rebrand itself several times, attempting to created much-needed distance from the typical Blackwater Google search. Prince moved his family to an obscure place, and Erik largely fell out of the public’s mind.
That’s when things got really interesting, Maddow explains. You see, Prince was far from public view, but he was, however, strongly in the sights of Team Trump. Right before the election, Steve Bannon’s Breitbart Newspublished a bombshell story, in which Erik Prince is credited with saying the police were on the verge of arresting Hillary Clinton as a complicit figure in a money laundering/child-sex ring. Prince also claimed that the Obama Justice Department was working hard to cover up the story, but according to Prince’s sources, arrests were “imminent.”
The accusations were so severe, that the report claimed that Hillary frequented a secret “sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.” It further suggested that Hillary was guilty of murder.
Maddow starts putting the pieces together.
