Confessions of a DC Madam proves that there is a clandestine checks-and-balances systemin effect within our government—blackmail.Vinson intricately documents his interactions with various closeted and non-closeted VIPs whosolicited the escorts he employed. Moreover, this new book details Vinson's numerous exchanges witha CIA asset whose specialty was sexually compromising the powerbrokers of Washington, DC, and thetrials and tribulations Vinson suffered because he was privy to information that could have produced aseismic political scandal.Confessions of a DC Madam details the federal government's illicit, malicious, and relentless attackon Vinson to ensure his silence, which included incarceration rooted in trumped-up charges andVinson's story shows the reader the illegal activities the government executes to silence those who areprivy to the fact that American politicians and power brokers are compromised by their sexualimproprieties.
