I HAVE SOMETHING EXCITING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THAT.
BUT FIRST, LET’S TALK FOR A
SECOND ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS FOOTAGE, A LITTLE BIT
HARD AT FIRST TO TELL WHAT IS
GOING ON HERE BUT FOOTAGE OF A
YOUNG WOMAN BEING ARRESTED BY
MOSTLY PLAIN CLOTHED POLICE OR
SECURITY OFFICERS OF SOME KIND.
THIS WAS SHOT AT THE MAIN
AIRPORT IN MOSCOW LATE LAST
WOKE.
WOKE. AND AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE
FOOTAGE, THE WOMAN LOOKS A
LITTLE BIT OUT OF IT.
LIKE SEEING SOMEBODY ARRESTED
LIKE THIS IS ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT
UNSETTLING IN HUMAN TERMS.
HER DEMEANOR AND AFFECT HERE WAS
WORRYING AFTER THIS ARREST VIDEO
SURFACED A FEW DAYS AGO BUT AS
OF THIS WEEKEND, WE CAN AT LEAST
VOUCH FOR THE FACT THIS YOUNG
WOMAN IS ALIVE AND SHE APPEARS
TO BE OKAY BECAUSE REPORTERS
THIS WEEKEND WERE ALSO ALLOWED
TO SHOOT FOOTAGE OF HER INSIDE A
SORT OF CAGE, SORT OF BOX INSIDE
A MOSCOW COURTROOM.
SUBTITLES ON THIS, YOU’LL SEE
SUBTITLED IN ENGLISH.
THE SUBTITLES HAVE BEEN SUPPLIED
BY RADIO FOR EUROPE SO THIS
YOUNG WOMAN IN THIS CLIP HERE,
SHE’S SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN BUT
THE SUBTITLES TELL US WHAT SHE’S
SAYING IN ENGLISH AND IF YOU
READ ALONG IT MAKES THE HAIR
STAND UP IN THE BACK OF YOUR
NECK.
NECK. [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE].
>> SPEAKING FROM A RUSSIAN
COURTROOM, A DISTRICT COURT IN
MOSCOW THIS WEEKEND.
THAT COURT APPEARANCE FOLLOWS
HER ARREST AT MOSCOW’S MAIN
AIRPORT ON THURSDAY OF LAST
WEEK.
WEEK. WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THIS STORY
IS THIS, THIS WAS FEBRUARY 8th
OF LAST YEAR.
YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE THIS GUY.
THE GUY WHO MADE THIS VIDEO AND
WHO YOU SEE HOSTING THIS VIDEO,
IT’S ALEXA NAVALNY.
VLADIMIR PUTIN WOULD NOT LET HIM
RUN AGAINST HIM FOR PRESIDENT OF
THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
PUTIN AND HIS GOVERNMENT LOCK UP
ALEXEY NAVALNY WHENEVER THEY GET
A CHANCE BUT FEBRUARY 8th LAST
YEAR HE RELEASED THIS VIDEO AND
THE VIDEO FOCUSED ON FOOTAGE AND
VIDEO FOOTAGE AND PHOTOGRAPHS
THAT HAD BEEN SHOT IN THE FIRST
INSTANCE BY ANASTASIYA, THAT
YOUNG WOMAN ARRESTED IN THE
AIRPORT AND IN A CAGE IN A
MOSCOW COURTROOM.
MOSCOW COURTROOM. HER CLAIM IS SHE WAS HIRED TO
WORK AS AN ESCORT ON A YACHT
TRIP IN AUGUST 2016.
THAT ENDED UP BEING A STORY OF
NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE BECAUSE
WHILE SHE WAS ON THE YACHT TRIP,
SHE SHOT FOOTAGE OF HER HOST
RUSSIAN OLIGARCH OLEG DERIPASKA
AND DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF
RUSSIA, THE OTHER GUY WITH HIM
IN THESE IMAGES.
THESE ARE PHOTOS OF THE TWO MEN
ABOARD THE YACHT.
ON THE VIDEO FOOTAGE, THESE TWO
MEN CAN BE SEEN AND HEARD
DISCUSSING THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE UNITED
STATES AND AGAIN, THIS IS AUGUST
2016.
2016. IN THE CONTEXT OF THE U.S.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. AND AGAIN, THIS VIDEO, THESE
PICTURES, THEY WERE SHOT BY THIS
YOUNG WOMAN DURING THE U.S.
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN AUGUST
2016.
2016. HE DUG THEM UP AND MADE HIS
VIDEO EXPO HIGHLIGHTING THE
FOOTAGE LAST YEAR IN 2018 AND WE
CAN DATE THAT RELEASE
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE WHEN HE DID
THAT IN FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR,
IT BASICALLY BROKE THE INTERNET
IN RUSSIA.
IN RUSSIA. THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT FREAKED
OUT SO BADLY ABOUT THIS EXPO SAY
THAT HE WAS RUNNING AND THAT
FOOTAGE WHICH IT WAS BASED, IT
FREAKED THEM OUT SO BADLY THAT
DERIPASKA AND THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT GOT A COURT IN RUSSIA
TO BLOCK ALEXEY’S WEBSITE.
THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ALSO TOOK
STEPS BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE
OF THAT FOOTAGE OF THOSE TWO
GUYS ON THE YACHT, THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT ALSO TOOK STEPS TO
TRY TO BAN ALL RUSSIAN A ACRECCE
ALL OF YOUTUBE AND INSTAGRAM.
THE YACHT FOOTAGE HAD INITIALLY
BEEN POSTED ON INSTAGRAM, THE
VIDEO WAS POSTED ON YOUTUBE AND
THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT LOOKED
AND SAID THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE WILL
NO LONGER GET ACCESS TO YOUTUBE
OR INSTAGRAM.
OR INSTAGRAM. THEY TRY THAT IN REPONCE, IT
FREAKED THEM OUT SO BADLY.
NVAVLNY POSTED IT.
THERE IS A RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
FREAKOUT IN RESPONSE.
MEANWHILE, THIS YOUNG WOMAN WHO
SHOT THE FOOTAGE, THE WOMAN WHO
SAID SHE WAS WORKING AS AN
ESCORT FOR DERIPASKA ON THE
YACHT AND MATE THEDE THE RECORDI
AND POSTED THEM ON HER
INSTAGRAM, WHEN THIS BROOULEW UP
FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR, SHE WAS
IN THAILAND WHERE SHE WAS SHE
INVOLVED IN A SEX SEMINAR FOR
RUSSIAN-SPEAKING TOURISTS.
RUSSIAN-SPEAKING TOURISTS. I DON’T KNOW.
THERE IS AN INTERNATIONAL SEX
TOURISM TRADE IN THAILAND LIKE A
LOT OF COUNTRIES.
PEOPLE THAT PARTICIPATE IN THAT
SEX TRADE IN THAILAND SOMETIMES
DO GET ARREST IN THAT COUNTRY.
WHEN ANASTASIYA GOT ARRESTED FOR
PARTICIPATION IN THE SEX
SEMINAR, HER TREATMENT BY THAI
AUTHORITIES SEEMED TO BE
INFLECTED BY THE FACT SHE HAD
BEEN THE SOURCE AND IN SOMEWAYS
THE PROTAGONIST OF THIS BIG EXPO
THAT WAS DRIVING THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT CRAZY.
GOVERNMENT CRAZY. SHE WAS ARRESTED INEBRUARY
2018, DAYS AFTER THE NAVALNY
WENT PUBLIC.
WENT PUBLIC. THE HEAD OF THE SECURITY COUNSEL
ARRIVED PERSONALLY IN THIGHAILAN
HE’S ALSO HEAD OF THE RUSSIAN
SPY SERVICE.
SPY SERVICE. THE DAY HE ARRIVED, ANASTASIYA
VASHUKEVICH POSTED THIS VIDEO
SAYING SHE’S ON HER WAY FROM A
DEFENSE FACILITY TO A THAI
PRISON IN THAT VIDEO SPEAKING
RUSSIAN, SHE BEGS RUSSIAN
JOURNALISTS FOR HELP.
SHE SAYS QUOTE I’M READY TO GIVE
YOU THE MISSING PUZZLE PIECES,
SUPPORT THEM WITH VIDEO AND
AUDIO REGARDING THE CONNECTIONS
OF OUR RESPECTED LAWMAKER,
MEANING RUSSIAN LAWMAKERS WITH
TRUMP, MANAFORT AND THE REST.
I KNOW A LOT.
I’M WAITING FOR YOUR OFFERS AND
WAITING FOR YOU IN A THAI
PRISON.
PRISON. SHE DID END UP IN A THAI PRISON
AND JOURNALISTS DID GET IN
CONTACT WITH HER WHILE SHE WAS
IN PRISON.
IN PRISON. JOURNALISTS DID GO TO THE
FACILITY WHERE SHE WAS BEING
HELD IN THAILAND TO TRY TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT SHE WAS ALLEGING
AND WHY SHE WAS ASKING FOR HELP.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" CONDUCTED
AN INTERVIEW WITH HER IN
THAILAND SOON AFTER THAT
RECORDING FROM THE BACK OF THE
POLICE WAGON IN THAT INTERVIEW
SHE TOLD "THE TIMES" SHE HAD A
LOT MORE INFORMATION THAN SHE
POSTED TO INSTAGRAM.
SHE SHADE HAD MORE THAN 16 HOURS
OF AUDIO RECORDINGS JUST FROM
THAT TRIP ON THE YACHT WITH OLEG
DERIPASKA AND RUSSIAN DEPUTY
PRIME MINISTER AND SAID IF
AMERICA GIVES ME PROTECTION, I
WILL TELL EVERYTHING I KNOW.
AS TO WHAT WAS ON THESE ALLEGED
RECOLD
RECOLD RECORDINGS SHE SAID SHE HAD,
THEY WERE DISCUSSING ELECTIONS.
DERIPASKA HAD A PLAN ABOUT
ELECTIONS.
ELECTIONS. SHE TOLD THE TIMES THAT HER
DOCUMENTATION WAS NOT JUST ABOUT
DERIPASKA TALKING TO THE DEPUTY
PRIME MINISTER.
PRIME MINISTER. SHE SAID SHE ALSO HADDOCK
MENATION ABOUT CONVERSATIONS SHE
HE HAD WITH THREE PEOPLE THAT
SPOKE ENGLISH FLUENTLY AND
STRUCK HER AS PROBABLY AMERICAN.
CNN IVAN WATSON ACTUALLY GOT
INTO THAT THAI PRISON TO SEE
HER, AS WELL, AND ALTHOUGH HE
WAS NOT ABLE TO GET A CAMERA
CREW, HE WAS ABLE TO CONDUCT AN
INTERVIEW WITH HER IN PERSON EYE
TO EYE AND THEN HE WALKED BACK
OUTSIDE THE PRISON AND TURNED ON
THE CAMERAS AND ABLE TO
IMMEDIATELY SAY WHAT SHE HAD
TOLD HIM.
TOLD HIM. >> FOR DAYS, SHE AND SEVERAL
RUSSIAN FRIEND HAVES BEEN HELD
AT THIS JAIL IN THE CAPITAL OF
THAILAND WHERE VISITORS ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO BRING CAMERAS.
I JUST CAME OUT OF THIS
DETENTION CENTER WHERE I SPOKE
WITH ANASTASIYA.
WITH ANASTASIYA. IT WAS LOUD AND HOT AND CHAOTIC
AND TALKING THROUGH THE BARS,
SHE SAID SHE WITNESSED MEETINGS
BETWEEN THE RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE
OLEG DERIPASKA AND AT LEAST
THREE AMERICANS SHE REFUSED TO
NAME.
NAME. SHE CLAIMS THEY DISCUSSED PLANS
TO AFFECT THE U.S. ELECTIONS BUT
SHE WOULDN’T GIVE ANY FURTHER
INFORMATION BECAUSE SHE FEARS
SHE COULD BE DEPORTED BACK TO
RUSSIA.
RUSSIA. HER CLAIMS MIGHT NOT HOLD MUCH
WATER IF IT WASN’T FOR THIS.
PHOTOS PUBLISHED ON HER
INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT OF HER

OLEG DERIPASKA. DERIPASKA, A ONE-TIME BUSINESS
PARTNER OF FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN
MANAGER PAUL MANAFORT.

MEDDLING.
MEDDLING. HER POSTS SHOWED DERIPASKA ON
BOARD HIS PRIVATE YACHT MEETING
RUSSIA’S PRIME MINISTER.
TWO POWERFUL RUSSIAN MEN OVER
HEARD IN ONE VIDEO DISCUSSING
U.S. RUSSIAN RELATIONS.
>> SO THIS YOUNG WOMAN IN JAIL
IN THAILAND, SHE’S TELLING THE"T
NEW YORK TIMES" AND CNN THAT
SHE’S GOT THIS MATERIAL IN
ADDITION TO THE STUFF THAT’S
ALREADY BEEN TURNED INTO A GIANT
EXPO SAY THAT’S MAKING THE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT GO CRAZY
ABOUT DERIPASKA AND THE RUSSIAN
DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER, SHE SAID
SHE HAS FURTHER PHOTOS, VIDEO
RECORDINGS AND AUDIO RECORDINGS
AND HER DOCUMENTED TIME ON THAT
YACHT DID HAPPEN AROUND THE TIME
WE KNOW TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN
PAUL MANAFORT WAS IN CONTACT
THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY.
WE KNOW THAT THROUGH THE COURT
CASES SO WHAT SHE WAS ALLEGING
ABOUT OBSERVING SOME CONTACT
BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT INVOLVING
DERIPASKA AND MANAFORT AT LEAST
LINES UP IN TERMS OF THE TIMING
AND WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT
MANAFORT’S BEHAVIOR.
MANAFORT’S BEHAVIOR. AND SHE CLEARLY WAS BOTH AFRAID
AND USING WHAT SHE CLAIMED TO BE
HER ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION
TO TRY TO GET HERSELF OUT OF
JAIL.
JAIL. QUOTE, I AM READY TO HELP WITH
AN INVESTIGATION, IF THEY HELP
US GET OUT OF HERE.
SHE MANAGED TO GET ANOTHER POST
ON TO INSTAGRAM AROUND THE SAME
TIME.
TIME. IF WE GO BACK TO RUSSIA, WE WILL
DIE IN RUSSIAN PRISON OR THEY
WILL KILL US.
THIS IS VERY SERIOUS, PLEASE,
USA, HELP US NOT TO DIE FROM
RUSSIANS.
RUSSIANS. RADIO FOR EUROPE PUBLISHED
PHOTOS OF THIS HAND-WRITTEN
LETTER THEY SMUGGLED OUT OF
PRISON TO HAVE A FRIEND DELIVER
TO THE U.S. EMBASSY IN BANGKOK.
THEY SAID WE ASK FOR HELP AND
PROTECTION AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR USA
AND WE RISK OUR LIFE VERY MUCH.
WE HAVE PHOTO, VIDEO AND AUDIO
OF RUSSIAN CRIMES AND I GIVE
THEM TO USA IF YOU HELP US.
THAT ALL HAPPENED BACK IN
FEBRUARY AND EARLY MARCH.
JUST UNDER A YEAR AGO.
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT, IF
ANYTHING, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
EVER DID TO TRY TO HELP HER OR
RESPOND TO HER OR NOT, BUT NINE
MONTHS PLUS WENT BY WHILE SHE
AND HER CO-DEFENDANTS SAT IN
THAT THAI PRISON.
AND AS WE HAVE REPORTED, LAST
WEEK, TUESDAY OF LAST WEEK,
SURPRISE MOVE BY A JUDGE IN
THAILAND RESULTED IN HER AND HER
CO-DEFENDANTS BEING RELEASED.
UPON LEARNING THEY WERE QUICKLY
GOING TO BE RELEASED AND THEN
DEPORTED, A FRIEND OF HER TOLD
"THE WASHINGTON POST" THAT SHE
QUOTE WAS HOPING TO BE DEPORTED
SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN RUSSIA.
THAT DID NOT WORK.
HER RELATIVES TOLD THE BELL,
WHICH IS AN INDEPENDENT NEWS
SOURCE IN RUSSIA THAT THE
RUSSIAN CONSOLE IN THAILAND
ASSURED HER AND HER FAMILY BACK
IN RUSSIA THAT ANASTASIYA WOULD
BE ALLOWED TO TRANSIT SAFELY
THROUGH MOSCOW WITHOUT BEING
BOTHERED AND CHANGE PLAINS IN
MOSCOW AND GO HOME TO HER HOME.
INSTEAD, SHE WAS IN FACT
ARRESTED AT THE MAIN AIRPORT IN
MOSCOW WHILE SHE WENT LIMP AND
JOURNALISTS WAIT IN VEIN TO TRY
TO TALK TO HER.
THIS WEEKEND, WE GOT THIS
UNSETTLING FOOTAGE OF HER IN
COURT APOLOGIZING OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN, APOLOGIZING TO
OLEG DERIPASKA.
OLEG DERIPASKA. THE RUSSIA CORRESPONDENT
REPORTED TODAY THAT HE ASKED HER
SEVERAL TIMES AT THIS COURT
APPEARANCE IF HER ARREST AND HER
TREATMENT WAS RELATED TO
RUSSIA’S INTERFERENCE IN THE
ELECTION AND HER EVIDENCE ABOUT
THAT.
THAT. SHE REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
QUOTE, AFTER CLAIMING SHE HAD
EVIDENCE OF RUSSIA INTERFERING,
SHE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK NOW FOR
FEAR OF DERIPASKA AND RUSSIAN
LAW.
LAW. QUOTE, I CAN’T COMPROMISE MYSELF
ANYMORE.
ANYMORE. CRIMINAL CASES WERE FABRICATED
AGAINST ME IN THAILAND, RUSSIA,
THAT’S ENOUGH FOR ME.
QUOTE, SHE PROMISES THERE WON’T
BE MORE RECORDINGS, SHE WON’T
ANSWER WHEN I ASK ABOUT ELECTION
INTERFERENCE.
INTERFERENCE. WELL, NOW TODAY, ALEXEY, THE GUY
THAT MADE HER FAMOUS IN THE
FIRST PLACE WHEN HE POSTED HER
FOOTAGE OF DERIPASKA AND THE
PRIME MINISTER ON THAT YACHT,
THE GUY WHO INITIALLY MADE HER
FAMOUS, TODAY, ALEXEY NAVALNY
POSTED NEW RECORDINGS, AUDIO
THAT INCLUDE THE SOUND OF TWO
RUSSIAN SPEAKING LAWYERS WHO
APPEAR TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH
DERIPASKA AND HIS BUSINESS
EMPIRE AND IN A PHONE CALL
CONCERNING THE ARREST OF AN
ANASTASIYA IN THAILAND, THESE
TWO LAWYERS APPEAR TO BE
NEGOTIATING FOR OR ARRANGING FOR
HER TO BE CHARGED WITH THE MOST
SERIOUS CHARGES TO STAY IN
PRISON FOR A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT
OF TIME INSTEAD OF BEING
RELEASED AFTER A COUPLE DAYS
WHICH WOULD BE THE COURSE FOR A
NORMAL SITUATION LIKE THAT.
THE EMPIRE SAYS ON THE RECORDING
QUOTE, WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
IS THAT THESE PEOPLE BE KEPT IN
JAIL.
JAIL. THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED.
THEY SHOULD GET A SENTENCE WHICH
WILL PUT THEM IN PRISON.
THE SAME COURT THAT DERIPASKA
USED TO BLOCK ACCESS TO
NAVALNY’S WEBSITE IN RUSSIA,
HE’S NOW, ACCORDING TO NAVALNY
GONE TO THE SAME COURT TO BLOCK
ACCESS TO THE RECORDINGS
EVERYWHERE IN RUSSIA, AS WELL.
IT IS NAVALNY’S REPORTING AND
ACCUSATION THE LAWYERS YOU CAN
HEAR ON THE RECORDINGS ARE
LAWYERS WHO HE BELIEVES TO BE
ASSOCIATED WITH DERIPASKA AND
DERIPASKA’S EMPIRE.
DERIPASKA’S EMPIRE. IF THAT’S TRUE, THINK ABOUT THE
UNIVERSE OF DATA HERE.
RIGHT?
RIGHT? HE BANKROLLS PAUL MANAFORT’S
PRO-RUSSIAN WORK IN THE SOVIET
UNION WHEN MANAFORT COMES FROM
NOWHERE TO BECOME CHAIRMAN FOR
THE TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
CAMPAIGN, MANAFORT TELLS AN
INTERMEDIARY HE WOULD BE HAPPY
TO OFFER OLEG PRIVATE MEETINGS
ON THE CAMPAIGN IF HE WANTS THEM
AND THEY ALLEGE MANAFORT GAVE
THE SAME INTERMEDIARY POLLING.
DERIPASKA ENDS UP ON A YACHT
WITH A NICE YOUNG ESCORT WITH A
VERY ACTIVE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
AND THE DEPARTMENT TIUTY PRIME M
RUSSIA.
RUSSIA. WHEN IT BECOME AS SCANDAL, THAT
YOUNG WOMAN FINDS HERSELF
ARRESTED AND HELD FOR LONGER
THAN OTHER PEOPLE GET HELD FOR
FOR THE SORT OF THING FOR WHICH
SHE GOT ARRESTED AND THERE ARE
NOW AS OF TODAY RECORDINGS THAT
IMPLICATE THE COMPANIES IN
TRYING TO ENSURE THAT YOUNG
WOMAN STAYED IN PRISON AS LONG
AS POSSIBLE AFTER SHE WAS PICKED
UP.
UP. SHE WENT INTO PRISON CLAIMING
THAT SHE HAD LOTS MORE EVIDENCE
INCLUDING PHOTOS AND AUDIO
RECORDINGS AND VIDEO RECORDING
THAT INCLUDED DERIPASKA NOT JUST
TALKING TO RUSSIA OFFICIALS BUT
PEOPLE SHE BELIEVED WERE
AMERICANS.
AMERICANS. SHE SAID SHE HAD A PHOTO OF AT
LEAST ONE OF THE AMERICANS.
SHE MADE THESE CLAIMS WHILE
EXPLICITLY ASKING FOR GOVERNMENT
HELP.
HELP. IT APPEARS SHE NEVER GOT THAT
HELP.
HELP. SHE NOW NO LONGER WANTS TO TALK
ABOUT THESE THINGS.
SHE WAS FINALLY SEEN IN OPEN
COURTEK WEEKEND AFTER BEING
TRAG
TRAG DRAG IN A WHEELCHAIR, ALL SHE
HAD TO SAY IS HOW SORRY SHE IS
TO DARAERIPASKA AND HOW SHE DOES
WANT TO UPSET HIM ANYMORE AND
SHE DOESN’T WANT TO TAKE ANY
MORE OF THIS.
SHE’S SUPPOSED TO BE BACK IN
COURT IN MOSCOW TOMORROW.
TONIGHT "THE NEW YORK TIMES"

DERIPASKA. 11 REPUBLICAN SENATORS CROSSED
THE ISLE AND SIDED WITH
DEMOCRATS TO SAY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION SHOULD NOT BE
LIFTING THESE SANCTIONS ON
DERIPASKA FOR THE WANT OF TWO
MORE REPUBLICAN SENATE VOTES,
THIS THING ALMOST GOT STOPPED
BUT BECAUSE TWO MORE SENATE
REPUBLICANS WOULDN’T CROSS OVER

ON DERIPASKA, THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION IS ABOUT TO GIFT

DOLLARS.
DOLLARS. MEANWHILE, ANASTASIYA WILL BE
BACK IN COURT TOMORROW,
PRESUMABLY STILL APOLOGIZING
TRYING TO SAVE HER LIFE.
