You little minx !
At least Colbert is happy now, he spent a lot of time, learning to pronounce her name…
The madam behind the blackmail?
Not surprising at all.
The funny thing is … she was doing just fine working with all the Russians and with their shady deals. Then Trump came along, and her life got more uncomfortable. Even Russians are not beyond the truism that Trump damages or kills everything and everyone he touches.
The plot thickens … and thickens … and thickens. You can already walk across it. Soon you’ll be able to drive an M1 Abrams tank across it.
Well, I am just shocked. Shocked, I tell you!
(Will this nightmare never end??)
Good point. A dollop of schadenfreude would fit here well.
I’ve almost OD’d on schadenfreude lately. But, I have girded myself for a fine Friday of Infrastructure Week.
“Lyook at dis face. Is dis de face of someone you can’t trust?”
I did Nazi that coming.
Natalia Veselnitskaya represented Russian mobsters who were charged in the Southern District of New York with laundering money through Manhattan real estate deals. While it has not been alleged that the Trump/Kushner organizations were involved in this particular scam, the Russian mob has been a major source of funding for Trump both directly and through Deutsche Bank. American banks decided that they had enough of “Bankrupt Don” and would not lend him money.
The emails also show how Veselnitskaya tried to extend her influence to the United States, where she was working to overturn the Magnitsky Act, a sanctions law that was championed by Browder after his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, died under suspicious circumstances in a Russian prison.
That’s a strange way to spell “was beaten to death”.
No collusion, no siree…maybe some “light treason.”
