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.
It should also be noted that I was blocked by freedomworks account shortly after suggesting this might have been a possibility. https://twitter.com/Fogfaaja/status/1159590034481319936?s=20

And it is impossible to ignore the complicit nature in which MSM has tried to juxtapose the treatment of migrants in their own concentration camps with the allegations of mistreatment of China's Uighur's. https://twitter.com/Fogfaaja/status/1095712185626624006?s=20
But things really are as bad as they come at the US southern border; And although a @Politifact report (OF THIS YEAR!

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'd "evaluate" their practices of providing legal 'help desks'.

So if you've heard differently, no I'm sorry, the situation is critical, toddlers have been forced to appear in court unaccompanied by either parents or legal assistance. As Snopes here concludes. 
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/children-immigration-court-deportation-attorney/
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/children-immigration-court-deportation-attorney/
So we know people are being mistreated at the US southern border facilities, as several reports state CBP made toddlers represent themselves at their court hearings. And political appointees have pleaded with the public on their behalf. https://twitter.com/Fogfaaja/status/1157314098847211521?s=20
I'm sorry @newsweek but every fact reported here is questionable. Apart from;
"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

Now don't get me wrong here I don't think the Uighur camps are good either for China or their Muslim communities. But they're not what they'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
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
And again don't ever take my word for any of this, always source your own information: here for instance @CNN reports Chuck Grassley's CFO Barbara Leeden, did commission Peter Smith, Mike Flynn & ERIK EFFING PRINCE TO GET HILLARY'S EMAILS.
