High-powered lawmakers, executives and military top brass who used high profile brothel desperately try to keep their identities secret ahead of sex trafficking trial by claiming they have a right to PRIVACY
BLUF:
[MAIL] Furthermore, a recruitment target might be threatened with blackmail in an emergency – signs he was preparing to go to the FBI, for example – but it's rarely used to compel cooperation.

John Sipher, a 28-year veteran of the CIA's National Clandestine Service, said that there is not enough information available to know for sure whether a foreign intelligence service was behind the brothel operation, but based on what's been disclosed so far it's likely.

'You've got high level officials with access to secrets who may have been filmed having sex with a prostitute, and are at high risk of manipulation or coercion.

'The FBI would be criminally negligent if it hasn't already opened a counterintelligence investigation,' Sipher said.
Could this be the real reason for the massive influx of illegals, the Trump indictments and the war in Ukraine? Is there a Jeffrey Epstein component ?
The brothels were raided in November and prosecutors said they were looking to charge 28 people in Massachusetts alone.

Han Lee, the alleged mastermind, Junmyung Lee, 30, and James Lee, 68 – all South Korean-born U.S. nationals – were charged in November with running the sex ring. The three Lees are not related.

Han and Junmyung both live in the Boston area, where four of the brothels were located. James lives in Torrance, a suburb of Los Angeles.

Members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors who 'possessed security clearances' were among the steady customers at the 'high-end brothels' run by the ring, prosecutors say.

"Cover".... an interesting term of reference.

#4 #2 that's the stock of the Left's refrain - doing the jobs Americans won't

Besides it cuts in the FBIs business of making friends and influencing people [like Congresscritters]

Grom, I think you must understand how crooked American politicians are but I'm not sure you grasp just how stupid they are.

#8 To paraphrase Einstein: "Our politicians are not more stupid, greedy and venal than we imagine, they are more stupid, greedy and venal than we are able to imagine."
