Courtesy of the New York Times:
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.
Mr. Deripaska, a billionaire with close ties to Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, also has business ties to Paul J. Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman. Mr. Manafort is under investigation by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel looking into the campaign’s connections to Russia.
“If America gives me protection, I will tell everything I know,” Ms. Vashukevich said on Monday. “I am afraid to go back to Russia. Some strange things can happen.”
Now you may want to discount such an outlandish claim out of hand, but then you have to keep this in mind:
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.
That was the YouTube video that you may have heard about which the Russian government kept trying to get taken down, and has now received more than 6 million views.
Now that does not automatically mean that Vashukevich should be taken at her word about all of this, but it also means she cannot be discounted entirely.
Of course the problem is that Vashukevich is seeking asylum in America. And since Donald Trump is currently in charge of our government there is no way that he wants this kind of proof made available to the press.
I would think it might be smarter for Vashikevish to reach out to some of our allies, like Canada, Britain, or Germany and ask them for asylum.
Once she arrives in one of those places, she can tell her story without fear she will wind up suffering the same fate as former Russian spy Sergei Skripal.
fOOl

"Rick Santorum was openly mocked by a fellow CNN panelist on Tuesday after he tried to claim that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and his House Intelligence Committee have “thoroughly” investigated ties between the Russian government and President Donald Trump’s campaign."
This calls for a jaw alignment.
ReplyDeleteWhere did that vulture daughter of Sarah Palin get hers done?
I’m glad this story is gaining traction. But yes, it’s sad that she has to appeal to ( as Donnie Two Scoops puts it) “You think our country is so innocent?” America. She’d not be so safe here, in my opinion. My spidey senses are tingling about all of those porn stars that have suddenly ‘overdosed ‘ recently... 🤔
ReplyDelete"all of those porn stars that have suddenly ‘overdosed ‘ recently"
Deletewhat porn stars lol?
@2:31 FUCK OFF!
Deletehttps://www.thedailybeast.com/why-are-so-many-female-porn-stars-turning-up-dead
Those ladies^
Seems that if Trumpistan wanted to take down any porn stars he'd have started with Stormi Daniels, who still lives and breathes.
DeleteFace it, bad things happen to lots of folks in that industry. It's rife with depression, drug and alcohol abuse and STD's.
This Belarussian "yacht girl" is trying to get herself out of a bad situation of her own making. I trust that our government will fully vet her statements prior to giving her any sort of asylum.
You are an idiot 2:52. AN IDIOT!
Delete2:52 PM, I'm 2:00 PM.
DeleteThank you. Those deaths are - in *my* opinion, at least, too random to be random. "There are no such things as coincidences", remember...And Stormy is too out in the public eye to be taken lightly. I'm sure she's got protection. She seems pretty savvy.
@2:23, maybe your 'girlfriend'?
Delete4:04, who do you think the bigger moron is, you or 2:52?
DeleteI don't see how drumpf has a say about anything. The leech is not president. He is a fraud and liar. We are just delaying his fate for now. He is finished. Bring the lady here and place her in protective custody with Mueller.
ReplyDeleteLol. You people are beyond embarrassing to yourselves. Sane people are laughing at your idiocy.
Delete3:10 How’s life over in the Palin septic tank aka Pee Pond?

DeleteTrump is President folks.
DeleteHillary is not. She even attended Trump's inauguration while Bill eye raped Ivanka.
So just to re-cap. Trump is President. Trump is President. Trump is President.
President Trump! President Trump!
DeleteMAGA! Two terms!
Erase all the complete disaster of the Obama years. Hopefully they will get a chance to investigate all the criminals from that administration and put them in Federal Lockup!
oh. someone missed their meds!
Delete@5:59, is that you again 3:10? It must be very lonely in your trailer.
DeleteLol. Yeah guess I missed the meds 6:46... because obviously a hooker trying to get out from under arrest in Bangkok is going to provide some type of credible information to Mueller that apparently is going to take down Trump.
Deletelolololololololololololololololol!
When are Mensch and Bill Palmer, stellar self appointed blogger (journalists lol?) gonna report on this breaking news?
Delete@ 728. Well didnt your hoebagging mamma say its about sex? Now your pissed?
