Dems want scrutiny of Ivanka Trump over Kushners Russian contacts

Congressional Democrats raising questions about Jared Kushner’s campaign contacts with Russia are beginning to ask: What did Ivanka Trump know, and when?

President Donald Trump’s daughter and senior aide has largely escaped scrutiny while Kushner, her husband, has faced intensifying questions about his failure to disclose meetings with Russian officials and associates during the 2016 campaign and transition to the White House.

Those questions exploded this week, amid revelations that Kushner attended a Trump Tower meeting — arranged by the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr. — with officials purporting to have damaging information from the Russian government on Hillary Clinton.

Ivanka Trump, like Kushner, applied for a security clearance this past spring — and as a result, she was required to disclose not only her own foreign contacts, but those of her spouse and siblings as well.

1. The crown princess.

She attends meetings, even when she has no standing to do so. I think their idea is that SHE will be the first female President.

[Hekate]

2. Rightly so. It's a family business.

[Still In Wisconsin]

3. Dear Ivahhnkahh and Jahhr-uhhd:

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 billion dollars.

4. Junior retailer hubby spy

In theaters everywhere.

5. Oooh, she's gonna try to "architect" her way out of this one.

6. The JarVanka Conundrum: republicans gone wrong

...will probably wind up as a book title...

7. Hope she will find a new career, like designing attractive women's separates in

orange cotton/poly, sizes S-XL.

11. I doubt she can draw, fit, cut, sew, or tailor. She steals her designs.

Her only utility to designers is providing other people's money by trading on the little social capital she has and her father's name. I assume she also steals from her employees.

Every person in her fashion orbit would be better served by selling on Etsy or competing on Project Runway or just teaching basic skills to hobbyists and students.

She is toxic, and within a short time, so will be everyone who ever had the bad judgement to work for her. I feel sorry for them -- fashion can be cut-throat. I hope they consider relocating and helping to rebuild the local and custom fashion and clothing industry.

8. About time we got around to Princess Champagne Popsicles

"I'm just going to be the First Daughter" she breathily lied, then sat in for old Pops when he needed to take a Drumph at the G20. Oh and thanks for fighting so hard for women's rights and everything, we really appreciate it Iskanka.

10. "I wasn't expecting this level of viciousness"

It's just starting, Ivanka.

9. She should be scrutinized and questioned (under oath). But I suspect she's clean.

I don't know why I'm guessing, since I'm floored the mob in the W.H. is as corrupt as it is....now, ANYTHING is possible.

But I suspect Kushner and Daddy got together & decided to keep Ivanka out of everything, to keep her "pure." She doesn't seem like the inquisitive type, anyway, or suspecting of outright corruption under her nose.

Then again, she married someone whose billionaire father was sent to prison for fraud, and the son fully supported his father and blamed the prosecutor, not the father for his fraudulent behavior. If she approved of that attitude....
