The wife of a lawyer tasked with monitoring ethics in President Donald Trump’s business trust was arrested Tuesday afternoon after “suspicious” activity with a Virginia inmate in the backseat of a car outside a jail.

Teresa Jo Burchfield, 53, was outside Virginia’s Fauquier County Adult Detention Center when deputies charged her with a crime of her own. Burchfield and an unnamed 23-year-old inmate were spotted in the backseat of a car, along with a bag of pills and other contraband items that Burchfield had allegedly given the inmate. Burchfield’s husband, Bobby Burchfield, is an ethics advisor to the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, an entity intended to keep Trump’s business and political ties separate.

“The defendant was caught in the backseat of her vehicle with an inmate," according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Fauquier Times. "When the inmate exited the vehicle, he handed me a bag of brown pills (capsules), that he claims to be workout pills."

The inmate, who told police he and Burchfield had been having sex, also had other contraband items on his person, including cigarettes and vitamin supplements, according to the complaint. The inmate told investigators that he and Burchfield had been meeting for a month.

8. Did you read the attached article?

"... the inmate was a jail trustee,
a status marked by light charges
and authorization
to perform work inside
and outside of the detention center ..."

She may soon have to meet with future inmates, if you know what I mean.

[SergeStorms]

40. I was thinking the very same thing.

There's a bunch of Republican women that are going to have to have sex with future inmates very soon. Their husbands.

That's if Mueller is thorough with his investigation. I can think of about a dozen Republican husbands who might be spending some time in prison. At least I hope they do!

Burchfield’s husband is a member of the Republican National Lawyers Association. He served on President George H.W.’s 1992 reelection campaign, worked for President George W. Bush during his 2000 effort to demand a vote recount, and later served on the younger Bush’s Antitrust Modernization Commission. He also chaired Crossroads GPS, Karl Rove’s Republican advocacy group, and testified before the Supreme Court on behalf of the Republican National Committee.

In January 2017, Trump named Bobby Burchfield as the outside ethics adviser to his Revocable Trust, a complicated entity that Trump’s lawyers have used to deflect scrutiny over Trump’s continued ties with his businesses.

28. What a shame this happened with his wife. He is such a good Republican. Makes you wanna sob! n/t

11. Unbelievable!

"Trump organization" and "ethics" in the same sentence, that is.

13. He was in the pokey

And gave it his best shot.

[FakeNoose]

38. He did the hokey-pokey and he turned himself around

That's what it's all about!

16. natural Viagra for the wife.................

17. A Trump ethics lawyer? And we're supposed to believe this story? LOL.

45. Rarer than dodos and unicorns?

18. They were just having a little

Fauquier Times.

19. God! She just blew her career and family.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

23. And an inmate too

I'll close the door as I leave. . .

[brush]

27. You did go there, didn't you?

[brush]

34. You do get some chuckles on DU from time to time.

[dewsgirl]

35. LoL😂

[Cicada]

42. She's rich and talented

Her daughter is in college. She can divorce hubby, get millions, find interesting work, hook up with the boyfriend when he is released from his minor sentence, and live happily ever after.

She can sell the lifetime movie rights.

This may be a blessing in the end. I certainly hope so.

[brush]

43. And what are the chances of all that happening?

Close to nil and none, I'd say. Hubby, a somewhat powerful guy, being in the trump admin, is just going to willingly fork over millions in a divorce proceeding to a wife caught red-handed being unfaithful with a convict in the back seat of a car?

Not likely.

Did you leave off the sarcasm gif on your OP?

[Cicada]

46. Even adulterers can divorce their spouse

And they can get their share of assets.

If you live apart for 2 years you can divorce in Virginia, even if your spouse objects. And why would her husband object?

Does he really want his own fidelity explored? The odds a high powered lawyer has cheated have to be at least 80%. Since he is fairly attractive make it 90%.

I am optimistic for her.

[brush]

47. I'm afraid the odds are not in her favor.

[Cicada]

48. She walks out, files for divorce 2 years later

He can not stop her. And that is the worst case, the 2 year rule.

And why would he drag it out?

She's attractive, smart, successful, accomplished. A doctor's certificate that she's free of STDs and she can cruise her country club and snag someone else's dissatisfied husband in no time.

[brush]

49. Maybe. Age may be a factor though.

20. "workout pills" - What a workout!

[paleotn]

21. Why does the movie ..."the longest yard" come to mind?

And not the new one. The old one with Burt Reynolds, Michael Conrad, Eddie Albert and Bernadette Peters, etc...

32. I swear you can't make this stuff up.

If only it was happening to some other planet.

[kairos12]

33. Lock her up, or him. Never mind.

37. Looks like anyone connected with Trump

even peripherally, is seriously screwed up. What a bizarre story.

41. Did anyone Snopes or Politifact this?

I have no problem believing it, but dayyyyyummmmmmmm!

[MineralMan]

50. Salacious, but pretty much irrelevant to anything, I think.

It doesn't really seem like news I should care about, somehow. How is this Breaking News?

[IronLionZion]

51. Giving him drugs and stuff for sex is still prostitution

It would be funny to see her go down for that. But this has jack shit to do with her husband or Trump.

53 year old Republican women need love too, apparently.
