Rudy Giuliani, Erik Prince, Joe diGenova, and Victoria Toensing tried to help Trump steal the 2016 election.

And now Giuliani, Prince, diGenova, Toensing, and Ukrainian nationals—including Firtash, Artemenko, Telizhenko, Lutsenko, and Shokin—are trying to do the *same* in 2020.

We know who these people are. We know what they've done. Their actions are detailed in both PROOF OF COLLUSION and PROOF OF CONSPIRACY. And now here we are—as though we're all stuck in slow motion—watching them do the same damn thing again. And no one in law enforcement stops it.

Erik Prince is one of the most dangerous—and one of the most evil—people alive. Every few months we learn he's authoring some atrocity, like lying to Congress or aiding war crimes or setting up a private U.S. spy agency, and somehow he remains (and considers himself) untouchable.

I can explain with great particularity how Trump commits crimes: he locates a partner-in-crime, then makes sure they have the same attorney, so their crimes are covered—he believes—by attorney-client privilege (the crime-fraud exception notwithstanding). But it works! Every time.

There's nothing confusing about what's going on; these crimes are audacious and international, and there's only a small number of people willing or capable of being involved in them. Trump has found those people—but we haven't found a member of law enforcement who will stop them.

When I saw the Axios story about a Ukrainian who Erik Prince was working with filing to lobby Congress over fake claims against Biden, the list of people that Ukrainian could've been was less than 10 people long. *The cast of characters for this part of things is fairly small*.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, so I'm not going to claim to know why Erik Prince and his crew are untouchable. I know what *Prince* says—he says he's a former CIA operative, and darkly implies it explains his special status worldwide. I certainly hope to God that that isn't true.

Throughout the Mueller investigation, news reports laid out dozens of lines of investigation that never showed up in the Mueller Report—not because they didn't pan out, but because Mueller referred such investigatory material to the FBI and CIA. And now it all seems lost to time.

All that can be done now is for authors to compile the best investigative journalism available on this ring of international criminals and hope that some sort of reconciliation operation down the line opens the books (apparently held by the FBI and the CIA) on their activities.

But the fact that none of us have any visibility—and even *members of Congress* have virtually no visibility—into the FBI and CIA files on Prince and his crew *cannot* be used as an excuse to allow *the same band of criminals* to interject themselves in 2020 as they did in 2016.

PS/ None of what I'm saying is obscure. The Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, led by @RepAdamSchiff/ @AdamSchiff, know *exactly* what I'm talking about: the 25 to 30 names that relevant here; what they've done; and what they aim to do pre-November.
