See, I thought global private "security" would be part of Rex Tillerson's portfolio, but evidently Exxon is compromised on multiple fronts and multiple levels:
theintercept | Prince told a top fundraiser that Maguire was working on part of his
Afghanistan plan, characterizing it as the first part of a multi-pronged
program. The fundraiser added that Prince never directly asked him for
money. But sources close to the project say Maguire did seek private
funding for Amyntor’s efforts until a CIA contract materialized.
“They’ve been going around asking for a bridge loan to float their
operations until the CIA says yes,” said a person who has been briefed
on the fundraising efforts.
Beginning last spring and into the summer, Maguire and a group of
Amyntor representatives began asking Trump donors to support their
intelligence efforts in Afghanistan, the initial piece of what they
hoped would be a broader program. Some Trump fundraisers were asked to
provide introductions to companies and wealthy clients who would then
hire Amyntor for economic intelligence contracts. Maguire explained that
some of the profit from those business deals would fund their foreign
intelligence collection. Others were asked to give money outright.
“[Maguire] said there were people inside the CIA who joined in the
previous eight years [under Obama] and inside the government, and they
were failing to give the president the intelligence he needed,” said a
person who was pitched by Maguire and other Amyntor personnel. To
support his claim, Maguire told at least two people that National
Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, in coordination with a top official at
the National Security Agency, authorized surveillance of Steven Bannon
and Trump family members, including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
Adding to these unsubstantiated claims, Maguire told the potential
donors he also had evidence McMaster used a burner phone to send
information gathered through the surveillance to a facility in Cyprus
owned by George Soros.
Amyntor employees took potential donors to a suite in the Trump Hotel
in Washington, which they claimed was set up to conduct “secure
communications.” Some White House staff and Trump campaign supporters
came to refer to the suite as “the tinfoil room,” according to one
person who visited the suite. This account was confirmed by another
source to whom the room was described. “John [Maguire] was certain that
the deep state was going to kick the president out of office within a
year,” said a person who discussed it with Maguire. “These guys said
they were protecting the president.”
Maguire and others at Amyntor have boasted that they have already sent intelligence reports to Pompeo.
