Emin Agalarov, Russian singer linked to Trump family, cancels upcoming North American tour

Source: NBC News

The pop star said he'd been forced to nix the tour against his will. His lawyer told NBC the cancellation is "most definitely" linked to the Russia probe.



Emin Agalarov, the Russian pop star who is said to have helped arrange Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer at Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign, said Monday he has been forced to cancel his tour of the United States and Canada "due to circumstances beyond [his] control."

Thanks Mike Pence. Yes, the idea that the tRump campaign had any Russian contacts is absurd. Just keep repeating that lie, like all the others you've told.

Trump's Russian coconspirators are likely to be worried about other countries following Russia's example.

Can't have him taken in for questioning, can they? No! I'm surprised he even planned a tour in North America. Just goes to show the arrogance and stupidity of all parties involved in "Stupid Watergate".

To see if maybe there might be a better one, I tried another one:



Sorry I even thought of looking at one more.

No wonder so many people are trying to leave Russia.

Thanks for the look for those of us who became curious. Now we know!

The boy really can't sing all that well but thinks that schmaltz and over
production can sell, "his talent."

He's the oligarch ($$ from building shopping malls/luxury housing) who hosted the Miss Universe contest in Moscow in 2013. According to Wikipedia, he paid Trump $20 million to host it.

Emin and his publicist Rob Goldstone helped the now-indicted Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. If I were him, I'd probably stay home too.

check out this link to his video released last year featuring look-alikes of Trump, Ivanka, Stormy, and ...wait for it...Kim Jong Un.

on the same bed, reminding some directly of the pee tape, following a parade of beauty contestants.

Easy to hate his smug, porky Jethro Bodine-like (Beverly Hillbillies) face.

Thank you for snagging this one. It does set off some strange associations.
