Behind Erik Prince’s China venture
The Blackwater founder has cut a lucrative security-training deal with Chinese insiders. But is it against U.S. interests?

This "rebuke" came from Federal Judge T.S. Ellis. III who dismissed a civil lawsuit (not mine) against Erik Prince's Blackwater (Xe Services) brought by Blackwater's victims.

What Does Robert Mueller Want with Roger Stone?

There are good reasons to believe that Trump’s old consigliere is about to make his return.

@Acosta
Source familiar with Trump legal team discussions says both sides expected to reach decision on interview by end of month. Chances 50/50. Both sides talking despite Giuliani's "shit show," per source. If Mueller subpoenas, expect fight to go to SCOTUS. Could take 9-15 months.

Trump making the most of the judge's comments although the ruling won't come for a couple of weeks.

So it's being reported that the Bawbag is going to come to Scotland.
I reckon he'll be golfing at Turnberry as it's near Prestwick for travel and he's sunk over £100 million into the refurbishment and isn't yet making a profit. ( He's also pissed off that the R and A aren't putting the Open on there till at least 2022 )

He'll likely head for Tong. (A trip to the ancestral mumble would look good to the base.)

Aye, but he wants his base to pay to play and stay at his resort.....and Scotland was hoaching with many international visitors last year especially Americans, due to the shiteness of the £

cozietoesie · 04/05/2018 22:26

Maybe so.

Whatever he does, will be self-serving in some way..........

I read and heard all that Sleip. It incensed me. Yes we have our knife problems, not getting away from that, but he needs to look to him and the gun massacres going on in his country

If any of you all would like some late night viewing, I came across this older Maddow piece. Still relevant, I think. Smile

Our high level delegation is on the way back from China where they had long meetings with Chinese leaders and business representatives. We will be meeting tomorrow to determine the results, but it is hard for China in that they have become very spoiled with U.S. trade wins!
