It is a textbook story of how foreign actors gain leverage over senior officials&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Set aside the gut-wrenchingly horrific details of the sex trafficking that is at the heart of this story for a moment, and you might even see a choice irony in a madam who moved on from selling hand jobs to selling grip-and-grins with a president who himself has made pimping out his high office a signature part of his job.\u00a0 But don\u2019t shrug it off. And don\u2019t let the crazy details of the story lead you to speculate wildly about what else might be going on with Cindy Yang, Donald Trump, the Orchids of Asia massage parlor or Yang\u2019s other venture, GY US Investments.

One of those was busted by Florida police. Robert Kraft, owner of the perennial Super Bowl champions New England Patriots was arrested for what he allegedly did at that spa, as were other prominent men according to several reports.<\/p>\n<p>The spa allegedly was engaged in trafficking young women from China, turning them into sex slaves locked into horrendous lives of serial rape and squalor. While Cindy Yang sold the massage parlor in question, she continued to own others that were suspected of also doing a brisk business in sexual services.<\/p>\n<p>But Yang also founded a business with her husband in 2017 called \u201cGY US Investments\u201d which offered itself, according to the Mother Jones account, as an \u201cinternational business consulting firm that provides public relations services to assist business in America to establish and expand their brand image in the modern Chinese marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While that sounds like typical consulting firm gobbledygook, the rest of the site makes it clear that what the company did was promise access to the President of the United States, his family and his resort Mar-a-Lago as a way of helping Chinese businesses establish themselves in the U.S. and worldwide&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/cindy-yang-affair-from-hand-jobs-to-grip-and-grins-with-donald-trump-should-not-obscure-the-huge-national-security-risks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily Beast<\/a>&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I strongly suspect that Cindy equipped her girls with tug tweezers, because their hands are too big for Tiny Trump.\u00a0 I also suspect that he took De-robed Judge Roy Brown <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>[correction: Judge Roy Moore]<\/strong><\/span> and Injustice Pervert Kava-Nazi as his guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Seriously, Sam Seder did a video on this crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/pF-2XjX_Ofc\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">This one of the Fuhrer&#8217;s sleaziest scandals.\u00a0 His partner in human trafficking and influence peddling certainly deserves a parade!<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #0000ff;\">RESIST!!<\/span><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the one hundred fifty-second article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become.
