John Fugelsang: People, this could happen to you someday.

[kpete]

I refuse to joke about Vanessa Trump bc it's NEVER funny when a couple files for an uncontested quick divorce, one where assets can be swiftly transferred, on the same day an independent special counsel subpoenas their family business. People, this could happen to you someday.

1. No laughing matter.

7. She is clearing out while they still have some assets to divide.

There is nothing like money to motivate people. Even in the best of families, the ghouls emerge when it comes to dividing up the assets.

2. Maybe I am reading too much between the lines,

but is Fugelsang suggesting that this is a ruse to move assets?

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. Either that or

she's making sure she gets her payoff while the tRump family still has assets.

4. Of course. And

…that's not between the lines either.

8. I believe your reading is completely accurate as to the tweets suggestion. -nt

10. Agree. And for some reason the (ex)wife will get almost all assets.

I wonder how the non-Vanessa children will fare with their ex-stepmother controlling the loot...

5. Leverage for a really, really nice settlement

If they are divorced she can be forced to testify against him. Money seems to help people forget things.

6. Not regarding anything that was said between them while they were married.

Divorce does not cancel spousal privelege.

Not only can she not be forced to testify with respect to anything said between them while married, she cannot do so even if she wants to. She can testify as to actions she saw him perform, and she can be forced to do that even if they are still married.

9. Okay.

Why can"t she testify even if she wants to?

[Shrike47]

13. Either party to the marriage can assert spousal privilege. He could object to her testifying.

[trotsky]

11. Didn't even realize that until right now.

Damn, Fugelsang is good.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Bingo!

And, this divorce is the most serious indication we've seen that something very serious is afoot.
