about this one.
I haven't read closely...waiting for the Cliff Notes. How would Navalny know?

Navalny bases his allegations on accounts written by an escort, self-described sex hunter Nastya Rybka, who was allegedly one of several sex workers on the yacht. She filmed the trip in an Instagram post, footage of which can be seen in Navalnys video.
What's interesting here is that she was allowed to film the whole exchange. It makes me wonder if she saw this as an opportunity to gather some dirt of her own and cash in. We are going to see this as a way to discredit the claim. "She was a sex worker. You can't trust what a sex worker says."

She'll dig in and find out. Hope it's legit. Hope Mueller has it....

He has a sense of humor and he isn't afraid to be taking on the corruption of Putin and the Oligarchs....even though it has cost the life of friends of his, gotten him beaten up, jailed and even a smurf blue face....

Unfortunately, Vlad will have him taken out before it's all said and done

plane being spotted several times near location of Trump event (both during campaign and transition)
