Stephen Colbert at His Best, on Trump’s Ridiculous “Would/Wouldn’t” Excuse
Kowtowing to an adversary on an international stage would be the lowest moment of most presidencies. But most presidencies aren’t Donald Trump’s.

Husband-and-wife duo busted in high-end Russian hooker ring https://t.co/3fa4q1pifJ pic.twitter.com/CMGIojxWUU
— New York Post (@nypost) July 19, 2018
A flamboyant husband-and-wife pimp team orchestrated a high-end prostitution ring through a website called Russian Dolls, Manhattan authorities said Wednesday.
Yevgen Rizanov and Ksenia Khodukina, both 29, flew women from Russia to New York as part of a “sophisticated long-term operation promoting prostitution,” said Assistant District Attorney James Lynch.
The couple and a third defendant, Arkadiy Bashkatov, housed the sex workers in Brooklyn and dispatched them on jobs throughout New York, booking their hotels and hiring drivers, from June 2015 to June 2018, according to Manhattan prosecutors.
“The defendants split the money with the women but dictated the percentage they could keep,” the ADA said.
The Russian nationals were picked up last week in Miami at their tony beachfront pad inside the Trump Towers III*, where they allegedly ran their illicit enterprise remotely.
They moved from Brighton Beach to Florida a few months earlier, according to their attorney.

Huh. So I guess the nominee’s writings were out of Bounds, so to speak…
Today, Republicans on the House Intel Committee voted against our motion to subpoena the U.S. interpreter from the Trump-Putin summit to testify. The American people need to know what secret deals Trump made with Putin during his one-on-one meeting.

— LG&M (@lefarkins) July 19, 2018
“…this merely demonstrates how completely meaningless the narrowest technical definition of a crime is when one is making political judgments about what to do about politicians who are betraying their country to another nation in exchange for money and power, which is what not only Trump, but also the entire leadership of the Republican party, is doing at this moment. That is what ordinary people, as opposed to lawyers, mean by treason, and that’s what the word ought to mean in ordinary political debate, as opposed to inside a criminal court.”
