I think it's a possibility Don Jr will seek immunity and turn on his father.

I don't think he has ever been happy with the fact his father left his mother for another woman. He has been seeking favor from his absent father all his life. Those of us who are lucky enough to have parents want to prove to them that we are worthy of their attention. That there is even hope that Mom and Dad will get back together . The reason Trump made the statement that if Russia hacked the DNC to turn over the 30,000 emails from Hillary is because Don Jr had already informed him that the Russians had hacked the DNC.

Believe me, I WISH that would happen, but short of witness protection, DoDo JR's life would not be worth a plug nickel, I'm afraid.

would be a righteous, wholly-justified, and patriotic stab in back from the slicked-up spawn of the ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino.

the republican "family values" role models really have something to show America.

When DT created a "blind trust" for his sons to run his companies...did he do the actual paperwork giving them complete control. OR was it an in name only thing.

IF he filed papers to give the Trump empire entirely to sons, then JR would still have the empire if DT went down.

It may be an indication on whether he would flip or not. Is the money in his name or not...

his mother in such a disgustingly public and nasty way.

The though has crossed my mind as he just hands over coffin nail after coffin nail: is this revenge served cold?

turned on him. So its possible. Plus if 45 goes down, so does the name and brand. This could be all about self preservation.

Don, Jr. has spent his whole life seeking Daddy's approval and worshiping at his father's feet.

Jr. would be too afraid to cross Daddy.

Don't confuse Trumps with feeling human beings. They aren't.

If he turns on daddy, it'll be in a tell-all book, ghost-written after daddy's dead and fredo jr. gets his share of the estate.
