and given the non-verbal cues and body language she gave during the Fox interview, I don't think she was particularly happy with her husband. This indicates to me that either she now has some doubts about her husband, or that she feels that she sure as hell didn't sign up for all this bullshit.

Given his behavior, he probably married late because no one would marry him. But he needs a wife to stop gossip. She gets the money, he gets his cover.

Mrs. Kav has seen Mr. Hyde. If he's a blackout drunk as has been described by many of his own friends...changes are very high that his wife and children have seen some shit go down.

Take it from someone who used to be married to a blackout drunk. The worst part is since they don't remember what they did...guess what? They tell you your story is false. It's insidious and makes you question your sanity.

did he abuse his wife too? I think that's a relevant reason to bring her into this. She's likely seen some pretty awful behavior on his part. If she reaches a tipping point and leaves him, will she keep it to herself or do the country a solid and spill the beans?
