(14,959 posts)1) Admit crimes.
2) Invoke the 5th Am.
3) Commit easily provable perjury.
The least bad choice is 2, but they are probably not going to be able to prevent themselves from doing 1 or 3.

And I don't think they can continue to serve in the WH if they refuse to testify.

(25,241 posts)I wouldn't let him off the hook. Wasn't/Isn't his wife pretty active with the Trump Campaign?
Brother Buzz
(36,416 posts)One of the siblings will accidentally 'drop a dime' on Eric.
Eric Trump's wife produces Real News Update, a weekly Webcast that pitches propaganda to support Donald Trump's presidential campaigns. She's smart, but a snake nevertheless.

(53,769 posts)unless he just fired them like trump did at his golf courses because of the hypocrisy vis-a-vis the border crisis.
He should be subpoenaed just to testify about that.

(2,690 posts)Rick Perry should hire this guy as a special assistant. They could have speechless conversations together in which each forgets what he was going to say.
(Well, that's a little unfair to Perry who, at least, remembered 2 out of the 3 agencies he would abolish if elected President. Love the irony involved with the one he couldn't remember, in light of his current job!)

We'll see.

(60,010 posts)They have no exec. Power, they are, by trump's own words, advisors.
Being family does not protect them.
and no way will Cummings or Schiff let them off the hook, cause the whole point is to have the crimes exposed to the public.
you can bet that very smart dems have already planned out every step ahead of time, answered the "what we will do if...." questions.
remember Cummings emphasis on "sunshine"..?
GopherGal
(2,008 posts)Princess Ivanka and Jared are technically employees of the executive branch, right? I don't know what protections executive privilege might grant them in that capacity.
Of course, Don Jr and Eric wouldn't be subject to those protections, whatever they may be.

One can only hope that if she finds herself behind bars, her prison job involves scrubbing toilets.
