YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Among the many notable features of the latest grainy sex tape circulating on the Chinese Internet -- a video of former Chongqing official Lei Zhengfu atop his then-18-year-old mistress in 2007 -- perhaps the most intriguing is the angle from which it was shot. Someone placed a rudimentary video camera, or perhaps a camera phone, on a low dresser adjacent to a hotel bed and pointed it upwards. The pale slender woman is barely visible, but Lei's face, grunting in the throes of pleasure, is in full view."*
After China official Lei Zhengfu was removed from his position and is being investigated for corruption. Now, watchdogs have learned the way to take down corrupt politicians is through their mistresses. Would this be effective in the U.S.?
