This is what Huma Abedin (onetime spouse of the erstwhile Anthony Weiner) was doing for a great number of years for Hillary Clinton. And how a Weiner/Abedin-owned laptop that the FBI was investigating due to Weiner ended up getting sucked into Hillary’s “but her emails” affair in those scant few weeks before the 2016 election.
I’m fairly certain this is one of the reasons Nauta (Trump’s “body man”) is being indicted. It gives them someone who, according to this indictment, the government has strong evidence was right at the center of hiding documents from the feds and Trump’s own attorneys, and gives them 90 years of leverage. He’s a relatively young guy, it’s not unreasonable to expect they can flip him in exchange for pleading out on a single charge that puts him away for a few years. And his testimony would make it even harder for Trump to blame an underling (although the tapes already make that pretty difficult).
(also, as best I can tell Weiner and Abedin are… not formally divorced yet? Some news reports from about a year ago in which they’re quoted as saying the divorce was all-but final? They’ve been estranged a long while though.)
The indictment says that Trump had boxes moved so that his attorneys wouldn’t find them when they looked. I don’t know whether that would still leave them technically liable (e.g. if they could have searched other places and didn’t) but it seems pretty clear that they were deceived and flipped once they found out.
Things are weird over there, from the sounds of it. It might seem to be some kind of identity crisis, but I think that they are trying to position themselves so that they can jump to “the winning side” whichever that may be. In the process, they’re coming off like someone having multiple personality disorder having an argument with themselves.
… basically the elite have a whole vocabulary for different kinds of servants
This is one reason they continue to go through the motions of being rich and powerful after no longer being right in the head—there are people following them around 24/7 treating them like children
