      Face it. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that Trump talked with Putin - in person and with no American witnesses - to come up with his false cover story about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Collusion as President. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/prime-beta/did-putin-help-trump-come-up-with-his-cover-story-pretty-likely …

      Well wife can't be compelled to testify against husband, so until the divorce goes through you'll be out of luck

      No. But if she wants to she can. It's her privilege, I think.

          No. Unfortunately, if the privilege applies (and it may not), a defendant can assert it to prevent testimony from a spouse willing to testify. Part of our long history of men terrified by women's speech ("they're afraid we'll laugh at them") vs women fearing male violence.

          Incorrect. See Trammel v. US, "the witness spouse alone may choose to waive the privilege, regardless of the defendant spouse's objection."https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/marital_privilege …

          Oh wait. What if ICE has her to prevent her from talking to Mueller and that's why they called the cops on Senator Merkey in TX when he tried to visit the ICE detention center? #sarcasm But I'll admit I'm curious about where she's been.

          That's correct, if she wants to she can testify.

          It is her privilege (although some states also have something like a "marital communications" privilege that binds both spouses to the conversation).

          you’re mixing up two different things: she can unilaterally waive testimonial privilege to appear at all, but he can object to her revealing the contents of his confidential conversations with her. However, if the conversation included another person, then no privilege

          The Supreme Court held in Trammel v. U.S. that under the federal rules, spousal privilege lies with the testifying spouse alone https://www.oyez.org/cases/1979/78-5705 …
