In June, a Belarusan American businessman who goes by the name Sergei Millian shared some tantalizing claims about Donald Trump.

Trump had a long-standing relationship with Russian officials, Millian told an associate, and those officials were now feeding Trump damaging information about his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. Millian said that the information provided to Trump had been “very helpful.”

Unbeknownst to Millian, however, his conversation was not confidential. His associate passed on what he had heard to a former British intelligence officer who had been hired by Trump’s political opponents to gather information about the Republican’s ties to Russia.

The allegations by Millian — whose role was first reported by the Wall Street Journal and has been confirmed by The Washington Post — were central to the dossier compiled by the former spy, Christopher Steele. While the dossier has not been verified and its claims have been denied by Trump, Steele’s document said that Millian’s assertions had been corroborated by other sources, including in the Russian government and former intelligence sources.

The most explosive allegation that the dossier says originally came from Millian is the claim that Trump had hired prostitutes at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton and that the Kremlin has kept evidence of the encounter.

By his own evolving statements, Sergei Millian is either a shrewd businessman with high-level access to both Trump’s inner circle and the Kremlin, or a bystander unwittingly caught up in a global controversy.

2. Trump is as ugly as homemade sin and twice as stupid.

of course he has to buy it. But this is different. No one is gonna care that he hired some prostitutes. Hell he married one. Hiring prostitutes is not a big deal. But what is a big deal is if they were under age.

3. You are right, hiring prostitutes is just juicy news but will die in time, underage is the key

7. I came to this conclusion after watching a segment of

Maddow in which one of the graphics was a quote from a billionaire thanking his briber for a party which included prostitutes. The quote was "Yummy . . . Daddy like. If anyone recalls the details of segment, please share.

5. what is a big deal is if he was as violent w them as he was w jane doe.

imho, that is why this tape is so powerful. i think it backs up jane doe's rape case.

i doubt anyone would think much of underage prostitutes. but knocking them around is another thing.
