I mean, I'd love it if she bailed because she knows the jig is up. But Trump Jr. is a festering, pustulant asshole. A person can take that for only so long, even they're an asshole themselves.

It's not like Junior just turned into an asshole or something. To be that bad requires practice.

But that's risky and legally suspect if intent can be proven, so a move that's also stupid.

But, look at who we're talking about here. Don Jr., a real chip off the old (stupid) block.

This is just another republican "family values" sleazeball move by Dirty Donny Junior & Spousal Unit to make sure the ill-gotten gains of their republican grifting schemes stay within reach of their tiny, greazey, grasping fingers.

so, maybe not, or at least not on his part. maybe she just has a boatload of dirt on hubby and wants OUT, NOW. maybe she can read the handwriting on the wall even if he can't.

A court is unlikely to allow a transfer of assets of it appears that it’s being done to shield them from forfeiture in a criminal matter. That horse may already have left the barn.

When she was asked to say something good about Trump during a debate, she said that he raised good kids. That was a downright "alternative fact"

The fact that they're sealed means the defendant won't know about them either. It's more likely that she's leaving him because he's an obnoxious, entitled dick .

Spousal privilege protects Jr in court but she can still talk about what she knows.

My bet is she takes a large initial settlement plus child support of course, but I bet her attorney is making sure he pays up front just in case he ends up poor (we can only hope).
