    She’s not going to do shit. This is just asking for a payoff, and she’ll get it. She’s not releasing anything.

        Yes, we’re so deep in corruption that somehow this is invisible to people.

        Trump gave his son’s former partner an official role paid for by tax dollars after the son dumped the partner, in what appears to be a “no hard feelings but go away” payoff.

        I get that ambassadorships are one of the most often used for political favors, but this is not even arm’s-length politics, it’s certainly for Trump’s family’s illicit self-interest. A functional government would investigate this at the very least and it would be grounds for scandal, and real political consequences for Trump at best.

          It’s not that no one notices the corruption, no one cares anymore, it’s south america, nobody gives a shit, sadly. Everyone in power is a nihilist that only believes in self advancement. With few exceptions.

      I figure it might be an insurance plan for her. If she were to release it, there’s not much to prevent some Russian-assisted “accident” to happen to her…

        You would think these people would be smart enough to set up dead-man switches…

        Thats probably giving them too much credit.

    Paywall, but eh I don’t need the full article to get an understanding of whatbis going on.

    She claims to have a book of secrets, that is probably true, some Trump insider dipshit is probably panicing over this, yes, there may absolutely be a payout, but a while later the book will either leak or be released by her anyway, the media will mostly hush it up and it won’t have any real impact.

    At this point, Trump has shown to be an extremely immoral person, without any actual consequence, other than seemingly getting more support.

    Whatever is hidden in the book won’t have any real impact.
