Disgraced former Stephen Harper aide Bruce Carson brought a reported ex-prostitute and money-launderer to 24 Sussex Drive to meet with the prime minister and his wife during a party at the official residence, the Conservatives have confirmed...

The Globe and Mail reported that Khan was convicted in the United States in 2003 for maintaining a bawdy house, as well as aiding and abetting prostitution.
The newspaper, citing public records, reported Khan was convicted a year later of the more serious U.S. federal offence of money laundering.
She was subsequently deported to her native Canada...

Khan told APTN she spoke with Harper and his wife at the party.
"I was surprised because Harper is portrayed as being cold and indifferent, which I did not see a hint of that evening," she told the network. Khan added that she found the prime minister "approachable" and "friendly" during their chat...

The event was attended by about 60 or 70 exclusive guests, including some prominent Conservative power couples.

The Canadian Press revealed last week that Carson had been convicted on five counts of fraud — three more than generally known — and received court-ordered psychiatric treatment before becoming one of the prime minister's closest advisers.
Harper said he'd known of two fraud convictions in the early 1980s, for which Carson was jailed and disbarred by the Law Society of Upper Canada.
But Harper said he wouldn't have hired Carson had he known the 65-year-old had also been convicted on three more counts of fraud in 1990.
Carson's lawyer previously told The Canadian Press that his client disclosed his entire criminal record during a security check that was required to become a senior staffer in the Prime Minister's Office.

I've always said I prefer prostitutes to politicians. At least you know what kind of f-ing is going to happen, and the prostitutes deliver better satisfaction for the money.

...and at least you can use protection.

NOTHING can save you from politicians.
