I bet it was really more Jill and probably Hunter that was defiant.
Once jill and hunter were assured the gravy train would keep rolling at least until January, they capitulated.
Their gravy train isn't the monthly payout of Joe's $400K+ salary or other related benefits. It's access to Joe's offshore accounts where the big money has been stashed.
That makes the next six months incredibly dangerous for this country. Having only that time left to maximize their ill-gotten family nest egg by selling this country out to its enemies, just imagine what they might do. They won’t be able to sell future influence anymore, so they will have to deliver immediate results. Will they sell national secrets like the Clintons did through Loral, or throw more gasoline on the fire of an impending World War III, or something even worse like promising China they won’t respond if the CCP releases a far deadlier virus than COVID? This is a very dangerous time.
