I congratulate all the authorities involved in resolving this issue and providing her freedom again. I realize that may mean congratulations to Vladimir Putin.
It was correct to release her to go home. She is young and innocent and simply involved in social media that provides her popularity.
I can only imagine being held in Indonesia and then released to travel home only to be traumatized in a Russian airport and find herself again a prisoner of a foreign country. She will need time to absorb all that occurred and realize she is trying to hard to be important to others.
She needs to think about herself and her future. Social media will not guarantee her a future that is achieved through education while she sets herself on a path beneficial to herself and her country. If she wants to be an asset to the world in a real way she will realize what a wonderful thing freedom is and how she can serve her country by being educated.
She put herself in a dangerous situation by being an escort to wealthy men. She needs to think about her well being from this day going forward. I don't think wealthy men should have escorts. I think they should have wives.
But, I wish her well. I understand she is worried about her immediate health. I strongly suggest she see a doctor that can provide a complete physical. Sometimes swelling of any kind is an allergy. She may have been exposed to something she is not usually exposed to and she needs testing for all kinds of things, including any heavy metals or other elements of the air that could cause her harm.
I like her. I think she is spunky. She needs a better path forward. Be well. Everyone. Everyone involved should be well and setting themselves on a path of promise to the future. We all have an Earth to worry about.

...Russian authorities (click here) said she remains a suspect in an unrelated criminal case, the Tass news agency reported.
On Saturday, a Moscow court ruling had extended her detention for allegedly forcing women into prostitution.
According to Russian news agency Interfax, investigators asked the court for her release on Tuesday.
Her lawyer, Dmitry Zatsarinsky, posted a video on Instagram, showing them both in a car after her release.
"Nastya Rybka is free," Mr Zatsarinsky said in the video. "We're going home."
Ms Rybka became famous after posting a video of Russian billionaire industrialist Oleg Deripaska with Russia's deputy prime minister, Sergey Prikhodko, on a yacht in 2016.
She was one of 10 people arrested in Thailand last February for organising a "sex training seminar"....

I applaud Speaker Pelosi in regard to the State of the Union address.
It is simply wrong to continue to carry out business as usual when there is so much wrong. All those people that make the orderly State of the Union possible are not receiving their paychecks. Their personal lives are in disarray and the man causing the disruption in their lives wants to have his priorities undisturbed.
I sincerely believe Speaker Pelosi is a champion for the people. I have never seen her so committed to protect the legislative capacity of the US House. She wants employees for the federal government back to work. It is unthinkable that President Trump is not so disturbed by the disruptions with the US Coast Guard and the FBI that he simply has to consider a different time and method to demand $5.7 billion for his political wall at the southern border.
The President of the USA is supposed to protect the country and it's people and no matter where one looks, it is not happening. The president is derelict.
The US House's recent proposal was to provide $5.7 billion for a smart wall at the southern border. Trump says no.
I am confident Speaker Pelosi will continue to seek ways of bringing federal employees back to work. In all honesty, I believe the Congress has to do it without the president. It just is unrealistic to believe this can continue much longer and secure the country and the president is uninterested in the US House's proposals.
The US House Leadership needs to present their proposal of the $5.7 billion to the people so there is no misunderstanding as to the viable solution they have drawn up and why it is a good solution.

I read a report stating Mr. Cohen is postponing his testimony to Congress because of threats to him and his family by Mr. Guiliani and Mr. Trump. Yes, the president Trump.
Treats are illegal and if there are threats it only goes to prove the Trump White House is not an honorable institution.
Congress needs to subpoena Mr. Cohen. Mr. Cohen needs to report all threats regardless of source to the police and if the complaints are worthy, there will be prosecutions. That is the way the law works and no one is exempt.
If Mr. Cohen runs into resistance to file a complaint about threats against him or his family, he should report it to Congress along with whatever testimony exists. Congress can ask the FBI to investigate.
This is a pattern that is emerging. Stephanie Clifford had the same experience.
To be clear:
The US Congress, the elected legislative body, is asking for testimony from an American. The Dictator and Chief and his minion are threatening this American family. That is illegal. No one wants to place the Cohen Family in peril. No president, no Republican hack has the right to intimidate the USA government. It is important Michael Cohen testifies. His country wants answers. The Cohen Family is not to be sacrificed because of American justice through criminal acts. The Cohen Family is important. They are not sacrificial lambs. They need to be secure in their lives. If the USA Congress can't receive testimony it cannot govern. I am glad the Cohen Family has come forward about their fears. The governing authority of the people of the USA has to be satisfied. This is outrageous that an American family cannot provide information to the US Congress without fear. This cannot stand.

Anderson Cooper is correct.

By Tamar Auber
On Monday night, (click here) CNN’s Anderson Cooper slammed President Donald Trump‘s lawyer for his attempt to mop up his Sunday Trump Tower Moscow mess by claiming what he said was “hypothetical.”...
If I may?
The USA press and probably the international press as well is disrespected by the Trump White House. They have even suspended daily meetings with Sanders for petty reasons.
This mess with Guiliani only proves all the more that the Trump White House and it's minions are manipulating the public dialogue. The lies by Guiliani are many. This is just one more.
The USA media is a dynamic entity in the country and the USA has every reason to be proud of it. It is the fourth arm of government and it is a very valuable place for citizens. Citizens, regardless of what side of the aisle one finds themselves, need the media for information, daily weather for that matter, what is occurring with their city and state and especially in times of danger as we have today, what is occurring with the federal government.
The media in the USA is powerful. Rightfully, so. The people should have a place where power takes up their freedom of speech or conveys a story or is simply a place where public education occurs. I don't abide by the idea infotainment is legitimate media, either.
Rudy Guiliani has made statements now that he was speaking in hypotheticals. Really? He sat on a nationally televised news program and spoke openly about the truth of what was occurring with Trump and Russia during the campaign. I didn't have to hear it from Guiliani, I was waiting for the Special Council to conclude the investigation. But, evidently the DOJ is going to hide the Special Council's report from the public and it will not be known for some time. So, with that Guiliani comes forward to speak. Is he the only minion of Trump that the American public will hear a reporting of the relationship between Trump Company, the president and Russia? Well, today Guiliani has proven himself untrustworthy and his appearances should be limited to FOX News where nothing is the truth unless it suits their purpose.
I would be very insulted if a politician came before my audience and openly manipulated the words he or she spoke. The power of the media lies in the truth. People, regardless of their notoriety, need to speak the truth and where that is abandoned there is no reason to validate it by providing them a voice. Sensationalism is best left for real entertainment.

It is confrontational. The National Mall is a place where citizens come to carry a message.
By being confrontational these young people hoped some sort of emotional outbreak would happen. I don't know why Nathan Phillips (click here) would want to meet with the teenagers, but, he willing to do so.
The teenagers have a profound tilt into insulting behavior. They need to work on that to prevent unnecessary confrontation in the real adult world.
Perhaps Mr. Phillips can educate the teenagers at Covington Catholic about the Native American culture they confronted on the National Mall. That wasn't noise, the performance by Mr. Phillips conveys a message.
Just as a side note, Senator Elizabeth Warren is running for President of the USA in the race in 2020. Native Americans should expect this type of confrontation on a regular basis. Also to note, after Senator Kamala Harris announced her candidacy, Trump and Pence show up at the Martin Luther King Memorial. I think Trump sees it necessary to campaign against all those running for President in 2020. Expect that mess, too.
I think the Democrats are an incredibly dynamic party and their nominees so far are incredible people with strong moral content to their campaign.
