More potential trouble for Trump?

I have absolutely no idea if this is true, or if there is in fact any evidence, but don't you really want to find out?    

PATTAYA, Thailand — A Belarusian woman jailed in Thailand for offering sex lessons without a work permit says she has a story to tell involving the Kremlin, Russian billionaires and even the president of the United States.

Anastasia Vashukevich, whose extraordinary claims and racy selfies have propelled her to internet fame in recent weeks, told The Associated Press from a police van Wednesday that she fears for her life, and wants to exchange information on alleged Russian ties to Donald Trump's campaign for her own personal safety. But she refused for now to offer any such evidence, and it's not clear if she has any.

Hmmm, right now, I'd label her as a whack a doodle hoping to get attention, and get her sentence dropped, but if she has any actual proof, I'd love to see it.

Kind of afraid to ask, but the Thai government allows citizens to offer sex lessons as long as they have a permit?

Do you suppose she's one of the "golden showers" girls?

If it happened several years ago, many of trump's supporters will claim he found his Lord and Savior right before the election.  All is forgiven.

Well, if she actually has evidence that the Russians hired hookers (with or without golden showers) in order to get blackmail material on Trump - that would be something useful to know.

Frankly, Trump is a grown ass man, and whatever he does in his spare time, as long as it doesn't involve animals or children, is stuff I prefer not to know about, but I do want to know if Putin has Trump in his back pocket.

That would explain some things, anyway.

BANGKOK — A Belarusian escort with close ties to a powerful Russian oligarch said from behind bars in Bangkok on Monday that she had more than 16 hours of audio recordings that could help shed light on Russian meddling in United States elections.
The escort, Anastasia Vashukevich, said she would hand over the recordings if the United States granted her asylum. She faces criminal charges and deportation to Belarus after coming under suspicion of working in Thailand without a visa at a sex-training seminar in the city of Pattaya.
Ms. Vashukevich, who described herself as close to the Russian aluminum tycoon Oleg V. Deripaska, said that audio recordings she made in August 2016 included discussions he had about the United States presidential election with people she declined to identify.

Her assertion could be easy to disregard were it not for a 25-minute video investigation posted last month on YouTube by the Russian opposition figure Aleksei A. Navalny, which relies heavily on videos and photographs from Ms. Vashukevich.

Escort Says Audio Recordings Show Russian Meddling in U.S. Election


And the video:

You never know.  She may be telling the truth.

[happyhoix]

Hmmmm.

She claims she partied on a yacht with a Russian oligarch Deripaska, who is buddies with Manafort:

Financial records show that companies controlled by Mr. Manafort owed millions of dollars to Mr. Deripaska. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Manafort offered to give Mr. Deripaska private briefings on the campaign.

And she claims she's got 18 hours of audio tape of conversations from the yacht, including some talk about the American elections.

On the one hand, I'm sure she'll say anything to avoid going back to Russia, where she'd most likely be killed. Putin has a tendency to do that to people who annoy him. On the other hand - actual audiotape?

The irony of a prostitute potentially causing problems from Trump is almost overwhelming....

I think Trump is closer to Putin than his back pocket.  Like shoved solidly up his ass.
