Keep in mind that she is not really allowed to return to the Duggar family home except under special circumstances, and has been pretty open about distancing herself from the family for mental health reasons.
Go Jill, Go!
Joe also posted a family photo AFTER Josh’s news broke. So it was either a news distraction or Joe doesn’t GAF.
Could have been a timed photo to release then.

I stopped watching the show years ago. Is there a good summary somewhere of what direction Jill has taken?
People reports on her fairly often. She wears pants, drinks alcohol, sued the show for backpay, and her kids go to public school!

I am very impressed that it hasn’t been leaked.
Definitely this and/or fraud.
Why wouldn’t he have gotten bail if it was tax/fraud related?
News outlets are reporting that federal marshals have confirmed he was arrested by Homeland Security, which doesn’t sound like tax fraud to me. My guess is manufacturing/distribution of child pornography and/or sex trafficking.

I never doubted that Anna was scared and threatened, and now seeing that creepy mug shot makes me think even more that she’s in a really bad situation. I bet JimBob threatens her life.
This is apples and oranges. Anna can get out of this marriage. She can stop having children. I would be worried about him molesting their children after the last scandal. How can she stay with this creep?
I think the comparison to Elizabeth Smart is a bridge too far, but I would not underestimate the degree of reproductive coercion in fundamentalist "Christian" contexts. She likely cannot access birth control, and has been brainwashed to believe that birth control = abortion = baby murder. Marital rape is not considered rape within their teachings. Young women are not educated and have no employment prospects. The road out is harder than you seem to think.
And they also teach that WOMEN are to blame for men's actions. Anna is at fault for her husband's cheating. If she had been more devoted to him and more submissive and more "available" for sex, he would not have cheated. She has been conditioned to feel shame for Josh's actions.
