Trump Ethic Attorney's Wife Found In Backseat Of A Car Doing It With Inmate

http://www.fauquier.com/news/court-records-wife-of-trump-org-ethics-attorney-arrested-after/article_04083c9a-930a-11e7-8f7f-43944bf28329.html

Court records: Wife of Trump Org ethics attorney arrested after tryst with Fauquier inmate

An ongoing investigation into “suspicious” activity in the back seat of a car involving an inmate trustee at the Fauquier County jail led to the Tuesday arrest of Teresa Jo Burchfield, the wife of an ethics attorney to President Donald Trump’s business organization.

Burchfield, 53, is married to Bobby R. Burchfield, a partner at Washington’s King and Spalding, who was appointed as an independent ethics advisor to the Donald J. Revocable Trust in January.

...

Burchfield and the 23-year-old inmate were having sex in the car, according to a criminal complaint filed at Fauquier County General District Court.

"The defendant was caught in the backseat of her vehicle with an inmate...," Dept. J. B. Thorpe wrote in Burchfield's criminal complaint. "When the inmate exited the vehicle, he handed me a bag of brown pills (capsules), that he claims to be workout pills."

After the two were discovered, the inmate, Hartman said, was found in possession of cigarettes, clothes, vitamin supplements and other “unauthorized articles alleged to have been obtained from the female.”

That seems to me little different from Republicans arguing that Bill Clinton's infidelities were grounds for voting against Hillary.

Busting someone for doing the nasty who has a remote connection to Trump just seems a bit too tabloid for me.

what happened in Fauquier County would stay in Fauquier County.

Wife of top GOP lawyer is arrested after alleged parking-lot tryst with Fauquier inmate

Teresa Jo Burchfield, the wife of a prominent GOP lawyer who has served three presidents, was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly delivering contraband items to an inmate after the two allegedly had sex in a car outside the Fauquier County, Va., jail, according to county records. ...

Her husband, Bobby Burchfield, is a veteran GOP lawyer whom the Trump Organization picked as outside ethics counsel to help navigate the potential conflicts of interest between the business and President Trump’s administration. Bobby Burchfield also advised both Bush presidential teams and is a partner in the Washington office of law firm giant King & Spalding.

I never heard of the jail but I'm guessing it's some white-collar MinSec kinda deal. If this was the Pen, someone would be in deep shit over the inmate getting into some visitors car but in a MinSec the trustee inmates sometimes come and go within certain parameters.

Who prove themselves to be trustworthy over some period of time to the warden and guards. The hard-workers, the 'reasonably serious people who just messed up out there and wound up inside'. They're basically free employees of the prison in a sense, they'll do things like drive to pick up a prisoner up from county, with a guard along for the ride, that sort of thing. Maybe shuttle the warden around if he doesn't feel like driving somewhere.
