Model gave collusion evidence to Russian tycoon

By Associated Press
8:24am Feb 2, 2019

A Belarusian model who claims to have information tying Russia to Donald Trump's election campaign says she has since turned that material over to Russian billionaire businessman Oleg Deripaska.

Anastasia Vashukevich fueled speculation around possible ties between Mr Trump and the Kremlin last year when she posted a video from a police van, saying she had 16 hours of audio and video proving ties between Russian officials and the Trump campaign that influenced the 2016 US elections.

Deripaska denied the allegations and even went to court to seek to remove the video Vashukevich posted in which he discusses US-Russia ties with a senior Russian government official ...

The Trump administration on Sunday lifted sanctions on three Russian firms controlled by Oleg Deripaska, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The sanctions on the aluminum company Rusal, its parent company EN+, and power firm JSC EuroSibEnergowere were announced in April 2018. They were brought against the three companies in response to Russia’s “malign activity around the globe,” and Deripaska was targeted as an individual because the U.S. claims he has threatened the lives of business rivals, bribed government officials, and has links to organized crime.

Isn't Deripaska the one who already knows about the collusion (you know, as a participant and all), and wouldn't this courtesan have learned said information from him?

Their whole "accuse the other guy of whatever you are guilty of" and "up is down, down is up" thing has really gone overboard, hasn't it?
