    I don't understand why a distinction is made between the two. Why is Facebook considered American?
    I never assume Facebook's intentions are pure.

    Others I would add:

    The Lady in Black
    Simona Mangiante (mazel tov to her and George)
    St Regis NYC
    and last but not least a small town in Germany
    Is that a le Carre ref? I'd say recent events have taken some turns that make it particularly appropriate. The whole Papadopoulos/Mangiante/The Maltese Professor angle, and the mercurial Nader & the billionaire mercenary chief...

    It's a good thing that Trump isn't involved, because his voluminous tailoring is at odds with the Tiny Suit aesthetic.

    Yeah, I'm a sucker for a good spy novel. Eric Ambler's A Coffin for Dimitrios is probably my favorite.

    Erik Prince lied to Congress with the facility and self-assurance of a man whose family had donated a quarter of a billion dollars to the majority party.

    At what point did the trump campaign collude with Russia during thebelectionthe election? Haven't we been through this with Flynn? Nobody is going to think it's out of line for an incoming president to begin a direct relationship with a foreign power.

    Where is the crime here?

    Why was it lied about?

    I guess we can keep talking about gun raffles though.

    we have to see what flowed through that back channel and why Prince perjured himself about it

    You are actually jumping on this based on the accounts if an unamed witness? Where he we seen this before?

    Can this wait to be an actual story before it's a story?

    Even at its worst it is portrayed as the start of a back channel. There is nothing wrong with that activity and demonstrate's no prior communications. Or else why go through this trouble?

    They needed this direct relationship via a back-channel, two weeks before the inauguration?

    With the nature of the media at the time and the backlash against trump? Absolutely. Actual work needed to get done to fix the middle east which was growing ever more close to exploding. And look at it now. Alliance with Israel is stronger. Saudi Arabia is finally begining to embrace some sense of modernity. The physical caliphate for ISIS has been destroyed.

    There was no time to deal with the expected backlash frim the left in the country.

    There is absolutely nothing illegal about this even if it happened in a 'secret back channel' conduit.

    in theory a back channel could be innocuous...in which case I suspect Mr. Nader would not have been questioned multiple times and Mr Prince would not have perjured himself
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."
