Security contractor Erik Prince, brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, helped finance an effort to obtain Hillary Clinton's deleted emails in 2016, according to the publicly released version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report

The redacted report said the effort was led by Barbara Ledeen, a onetime GOP staffer on Capitol Hill and associate of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn reached out to Ledeen after Trump privately and repeatedly asked him and other campaign officials to obtain the deleted emails from Clinton's private server, according to the report.

In September 2016, Ledeen claimed to have actually received"a trove of emails" that belonged to Clinton, but wanted to authenticate the emails, the report said. Prince"provided funding to hire a tech advisor to ascertain the authenticity of the emails," the report said. The analysis determined the emails were not real.Read MoreA spokesperson for Prince, Marc Cohen, declined to comment when reached via email by CNN.

Security Contractor is a weird way to word Mercenary Manager.

good-somebody should have gone after Hillarys e mails-hope they investigate her next

So I guess paying for dirt on Trump is fine. But Hillary clinton is bad. Okay got it!

ChuckWendig Fake internet points for anyone who can find proof that Cruella DeVos was in on this, or got the Secretary position because Erik did this.

So the Dems financed the Steele Dossier what’s your point

That actually sounds like a very patriotic act really. If it was trump who deleted emails, after being subpoenaed, then destroyed servers and smashed phones, and someone financed an effort to recover those emails... theyd be celebrated by the left and the media would fall in love

And how the fuck does a special counsel find no indictable crimes in that?

“Security contractor” 😒

So?

So since this is at least an attempted crime, why is he not being charged with it?

So he has more journalistic credibility than cnn!

Pure evil.

Found the bagman.

So Clinton nd DNC financed frame job on President Trump. realDonaldTrump Next.

CNN less veiwrs than yogi bear reruns.

In exchange for his sister's job?

This is in the report? Wow why didn’t special counsel seek the emails?

He knows what was on Wieners laptop. 'Crimes against children'

A web

And apparently there's nothing illegal about it

You mean the email said she illegally deleted after being subpoenaed, then use bleachbit to wipe out our servers and took hammers to her iPhones? Oh yeah, real good examples of democratic politicians. There is zero evidence of any wrongdoing by President Trump I keep crying wolf

'You put your right hand in, You put your right hand out, You put your right hand in, And you shake it all about, You do the hokus POTUS and you turn yourself around That what it's all about.'

Hilary bought a fake report to create a fiction and Obama spied on trump.

So, essentially the college admissions pay to play scandal but with high ranking goverment positions = Betsy DeVos travesty.

Changing the narrative? Now everyone in realDonaldTrump cabinet is Russian spies.

Qaycerax2 No wonder DeVos scored a cabinet level job.

DID HE MISS THE BIG PRESS C(ONFERENCE 2 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION WHEN DEVOS CLAIMED THEY HAD DAMING PROOF OF CLINTON & AID HUMA HAMADIN LOOMING ARRESTS?

How dare he try & show us common folk just how corrupt Washington DC is. We should keep voting in status quo politicians that just want us clueless as they fleece everything

Last time I checked a private citizen who runs a private company can use his or her financing to help get evidence to expose a person? Oh that’s right, CNN doesn’t fact check the crap they sling at the mass public each day!!

I’m Gagging...😝

there had to be a reason Devos, an absolute disgrace to any education, would be given a position. Devos is an incredible idiot.

So he was willing to pay to have someone 'steal' the emails? Willing to pay 'Russia'?

Opposition research is not illegal.

🍁 There's a loose thread that needs pulling.

If I had the money I would do it too

Proud of the effort. Done the same to this corrupt woman and husband. They deserve no less and Prince deserves a medal!

Im glad, since the FBI had decided they weren't going to do their job in going after her. There's 100 times more evidence crimes that HillaryClinton committed than anything by realDonaldTrump .

Deleted emails bleach bit type stuff. LockThemAllUp

As she underfunds public schools

Yayyyy. Trying to save the taxpayers some money.

DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING CNN SAYS !! Read the REPORT for YOURSELF !!! They are lying

Clintobama was in power when HRC hammered phones, computers, data. Big contrast with POTUS45 Nothing to remember when truth. Democrats to MAGA is our daily lives obstructed by Borderless Crooks & MSM manipulators. Abnormalities compiled in 2020 - all Radicals fooling BREAKING

The ones in her server under her wide toilet ? The ones she wiped with bleach bit ?

John Brennan is going to jail.

If she wouldn’t have bleached bitted them, no one would have had to be looking for them.

Somebody had to

MY PRESIDENT realDonaldTrump NEEDS SOME PEACE NOW, HES BEEN BULLIED BY RACIST, BIGOT LEFT WING CONSPIRATORS WHEN HE IS PROVEN INNOCENT & BarackObama, HillaryClinton,EricHolder,AGLynch WALKS FREE AFTER FEDERAL CRIMES

A lot of people went to great lengths to find these emails. And no one in the media MSNBC is even slightly curious what HillaryClinton was hiding?

Wow. Now get rid of her

If there was no bad thing or crime's in Hillary emails, why did she delete them ?

Barr...

It’s all one big happy corrupt family. As The White House Turns.

CNN is going crazy... BONKERS
