why he was planted in the loop to make Trump look bad.   He was in the Loop, because the Trump team invited him in the loop.  And the "why" behind it all could be its own thread. He knew Eric Prince for years who had hired him in Iraq to score contracts for Blackwater. He was an advisor to the UAE and Saudi Arabia who the Trump team has shown eager to get close too.  He also had previously worked with the Israeli government. After Trump got elected he got close to Elliot Brody who was convicted of bribing a politician in NY and was selected by Trump to be the deputy finance guy for the Republican Party.  Broidy was the one who got Nader a photo with Trump after the Secret Service turned it down. Nader and Trump part 1 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/politics/trump-jr-saudi-uae-nader-prince-zamel.html  In the 2016 campaign, Eric Prince set up a meeting in August at Trump Tower with Don Jr, Stephen Miller, Nader representing the UAE and SA and an Israeli Intelligence company.   Erik Prince, .., which took place on Aug. 3, 2016. ..George Nader, told Donald Trump Jr. that the princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were eager to help his father win election as president. The social media specialist, Joel Zamel, extolled his company’s ability to give an edge to a political campaign; by that time, the firm had already drawn up a multimillion-dollar proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help elect Mr. Trump. ...Donald Trump Jr. was said to respond approvingly to a proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help elect his father as president. .... and after those initial offers of help, Mr. Nader was quickly embraced as a close ally by Trump campaign advisers — meeting frequently with Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, and Michael T. Flynn, who became the president’s first national security adviser. At the time, Mr. Nader was also promoting a secret plan to use private contractors to destabilize Iran, the regional nemesis of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates.  Nader and Trump part 2a and 2b Nader met with Kushner, General Flynn, and  Steve Bannon to set up a backchannel meeting in the Seychelles Islands with Eric Prince and Kirill Dmitriev, the manager of a state-run Russian investment fund.  Turns out Nader is close to the Russian government too, having brokered a $4 billion dollar arms with Russia and Iraq in 2012.  He went with Al-Maliki to Moscow when Al-Maliki met Putin.  https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2018/03/george-nader-mueller-investigation-russia-iraq-arms-deal.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/blackwater-founder-held-secret-seychelles-meeting-to-establish-trump-putin-back-channel/2017/04/03/95908a08-1648-11e7-ada0-1489b735b3a3_story.html  The United Arab Emirates arranged a secret meeting in January between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian close to President Vladi­mir Putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back-channel line of communication between Moscow and President-elect Donald Trump, according to U.S., European and Arab officials ..The meeting took place around Jan. 11 — nine days before Trump’s inauguration — in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean, officials said. Though the full agenda remains unclear, the UAE agreed to broker the meeting in part to explore whether Russia could be persuaded to curtail its relationship with Iran, including in Syria, a Trump administration objective that would be likely to require major concessions to Moscow on U.S. sanctions.  So what the hell was the point of these meetings?  It was called the Marshall Plan for the Middle East. It involved selling Nuclear technology to the Saudia Arabia.  Michael Flynn was paid to push this plan.  A consulting firm once linked to former national security adviser Michael Flynn is continuing to push President Donald Trump to endorse a plan to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia, despite warnings from whistleblowers that their earlier efforts appeared to violate U.S. law, House Democrats said in a report Tuesday. The consultants from the firm IP3 International, which organized a White House meeting between the president and nuclear industry executives last week, were involved in pushing a "Middle East Marshall Plan" in the early days of the Trump administration that sparked concerns about Flynn's conflicts of interest. That plan would have involved building dozens of nuclear reactors across the region, in a way that would have circumvented U.S. laws designed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.  https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/19/michael-flynn-saudi-arabia-1174531 Saudi Arabia would get nuclear power, pay the US and Russia a ton of money in contracts, in exchange we would drop sanctions on Russia and they would stop supporting the plan and guys like Flynn, Nader, Prince, Tom Barrack, Elliot Broidy and others would make millions. Except it was illegal, strategically stupid and bound to fail.
