[cstamm53]

So it's not about all the great sex she's getting?

[tinrobot]

1. I suspect she's getting plenty of great sex

But obviously not from the dotard.

[2naSalit]

3. Her favorite bodyguard...

Most likely. She was banging a Secret Service guy for a while.

[Sogo]

4. How do you know about the SS guy?

link?

[2naSalit]

7. Link?

It was mentioned a number of times about 18 months ago. Link, I don't have time to go find that.

It came out in a barrage of revelations right after they left DC.

[Sogo]

10. Mentioned by whom?

I'm no fan of Melania, but this is starting to sound like the way Fox reports things....

[obnoxiousdrunk]

13. No link

For the o/p either.

[2naSalit]

17. So now we have to provide a link for a question?

Who are you? Ron deSatan?

[obnoxiousdrunk]

14. No link

For the o/p either.

[edbermac]

29. Hello!

[panader0]

12. The service he provided was secret.

[2naSalit]

19. Many people are saying.

But that's why there's no link.

16. It wasn't Melania, it was Don Jr.'s ex-wife Vanessa

."Love. It works, as they say, in mysterious ways. And yet, in many cases, it actually works in entirely predictable, obvious, and reasonable ways. For example, if you found yourself married to Donald Trump Jr., the mortifying, simpleminded, sheep-killing son of the 45th president, whose own father seems to despise him, you’d almost certainly replace him with a Secret Service agent, as Vanessa Trump, who found herself in that very situationunderstandably decided to do.

In Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Carol Leonnig reports that Vanessa, the ex-wife of Donald Trump’s eldest son, started dating one of the agents who had been assigned to the family “shortly” after her 2018 divorce from Junior, according to The Guardian, which obtained a copy of the book. While agents are prohibited from forming personal relationships with the people they are assigned to protect, as such feelings could affect their judgment, the individual Vanessa was seeing was apparently not subject to disciplinary action because “neither he nor the agency were official guardians of Vanessa Trump at that point.”...(more)

20. Thank you.

Man, the citation police are out tonight, thanks for having my back!

[PCIntern]

35. "Dating" is a euphemism.

“Fucking” is the true word.

[Walleye]

2. She is no doubt earning every penny, I mean just being in the same room with him

[Laffy Kat]

5. The SAME room?

I'd charge extra for that.

[Walleye]

6. I wonder when is the last time they were in the same room together alone

[Laffy Kat]

8. There is not enough money....

I wonder if her job includes "wifely" duties. Eew, eew, eew.

[JI7]

9. So she doesn't testify against him ?

[hamsterjill]

11. Bingo!!!

Thread winner.

[2naSalit]

18. Most likely.

[Ms. Toad]

22. It doesn't quite work that way.

He can prevent her from testifying about communications made during the marriage in reliance on the sanctity of the marriage, when no one was present to hear the communications. They can divorce today, and he can still prevent her from testifying about that same body of communications - they just can't add to the communications she can't testify about. The maritial communications privilege is a fairly narrow privilege, but long-lasting as to anything that is covered.

The marital communications privilege belongs to her, not him. He can't prevent her from testifying about actions that took place during the marriage, but she can (in most instances) choose not to testify.

Under the testimonial privilege, she is presumed incompetent to testify against her husband in all but a few circumstances (marital testimonial privilege) - BUT - she can waive this presumption and testify if she chooses. And the moment they divorce, she is no longer presumed to be incompetent.

[2naSalit]

21. Welcome to DU!

[dlk]

23. Could she be a red sparrow?

I have a feeling she’s being well-compensated.

[Captain Zero]

31. I've always thought she was.

Everyone should check out that movie.

I think Maria Buttina was one as well.

[2naSalit]

32. I never thought...

Anything else of her.

[dlk]

34. Quite a coup for Putin
