Schiff: We’re referring Prince to DoJ for perjury

Ed MorrisseyPosted at 12:01 pm on April 30, 2019

Let the games begin! House Intelligence chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) told the Washington Post’s Robert Costa that he will make a criminal referral to the Department of Justice against Erik Prince for perjury. At issue is Prince’s testimony to his committee that a meeting in the Seychelles with a Russian financier was unplanned, while Prince’s testimony to special-counsel investigators suggest it was planned:

    House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that his panel would make a criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding potential false testimony by Erik Prince, the billionaire founder of the private military contractor Blackwater and an ally of President Trump.

    “The evidence is so weighty that the Justice Department needs to consider this,” Schiff said during a Washington Post Live event. …

    “We know from the Mueller report that that was not a chance meeting,” Schiff told Post reporter Robert Costa during an interview at the event. “We know there were communications after he returned.”

    “In very materials ways I think the evidence strongly suggests that he willingly mislead our committee and the Justice Department needs to consider whether there’s a prosecutable case,” Schiff added.

We'll see your criminal referral and raise you 5 or 10 more, putz.

C'mon Horowitz & Barr, get cracking.

Blackwater should take out Pelosi's majority in the house.

He didn’t lie - the transcript was wrong.

It was discovered those weren’t horses in her pocket. She was just happy to see him.

Eric Prince strikes me as the kind of guy who fights back and may not fight fair.  Schiff may want to be careful.

It’s certain Prince could snap Shiff’s neck like a pretzel in a couple of nano seconds, anyway.
