The Trump family and senior Trump campaign aides gave Junior the nickname of Fredo for self inflicting numerous wounds on to the campaign.

Now 'Fredo' has acted out the same family betraying actions of the cinema Fredo. He released emails which show him in a bad light but (probably in his thinking) nothing illegal. It does show Manefort and Kushner violating the law because they lied in not disclosing the meeting under perjury.
Jr., I wouldn't go on any deep sea fishing trips with the family!

(115,683 posts)2. I'm wondering if DJT Jr. has ulterior, if subconscious, motives.
It's possible that he's just weapons-grade stupid, but considering how disturbed and dysfunctional that family has to be, and also considering a report from a college roommate as to how abusive DJT Sr. was to him, I wonder whether Jr. is at some level trying to bring Daddy down - even if he goes down too?
But maybe that's reading too much into the matter; maybe Jr. really is just an idiot.

aren't in the government and haven't been asked under penalty of perjury about it.
Since he was the only sibling (besides Tiffany) who doesn't have any government responsibility he may think that he doesn't have any legal exposure but it will sink Jared and Manefort and the best way to hurt daddy is to hurt the surrogate sons.
