Clearly this is more than a casual relationship and since Epoch does not disclose their financing and the Koch networks often rely on secretive financial vehicles to hide the origin of their donations. Its not unreasonable to assume money may have changed hands.

In 2017 however, as AG Jeff Sessions DOJ implemented the "Zero tolerance" policy. They also informed US courts to "halt legal assistance" to Migrants and even told nonprofit organisations they& #39;d "evaluate" their practices of providing legal & #39;help desks& #39;.

So if you& #39;ve heard differently, no I& #39;m sorry, the situation is critical, toddlers have been forced to appear in court unaccompanied by either parents or legal assistance.

"The Uighurs are allegedly held in extrajudicial detention camps, forced to renounce their religion and subjected to re-education programs to make them more Chinese." https://www.newsweek.com/erik-prince-trump-devos-human-rights-myanmar-1366923">https://www.newsweek.com/erik-prin...

Now don& #39;t get me wrong here I don& #39;t think the Uighur camps are good either for China or their Muslim communities. But they& #39;re not what they& #39;re being portrayed as in Western media. And RW extremist are using them to justify their own actions in the US. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-china-blog-48700786">https://www.bbc.com/news/blog...
And we also know the Trump administration has authorized Pompeo to deploy CIA agents as his own private death squads in actions around the world. https://twitter.com/Fogfaaja/status/1141537471894831104?s=20">https://twitter.com/Fogfaaja/...
