1. kick

[RockRaven]

2. They're f--ked. They are definitely going to be asked no-win questions, where their options are:

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.

[exboyfil]

11. You shouldn't be able to remain

in government if you invoke the 5th.

[lagomorph777]

28. Turdilocks and Turd Jr are goin' DOWN!

[calimary]

37. True but that will just raise more questions.

Like I’m feeling any sympathy...


NOT!

C’mon, Karma!

[central scrutinizer]

49. Thoughts and prayers

(None of them for the grifter spawn)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Public, I hope. nt

[lilactime]

5. I'll be extremely surprised if they show up.

[flibbitygiblets]

36. Same here. Then Dad just pulls a distraction and the goldfish-attention-span media moves on

[brush]

47. Don't they have to show if subpoenaed?

[uponit7771]

54. Don't think they're into the whole law of the land thing seeing their dad doesn't give a damn about

... it

[brush]

56. Could become a huge national crisis if the refuse to show...

and then US Marshals come for them.

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

[uponit7771]

60. +1, I thought this the other day; would MAGA Cult stand behind the children not testifying

... the cult love their dad but does the cult love the kids as much as they love the dad?

[lastlib]

61. I suspect they love the kiddies as extensions of daddy........

And those damned librul Dems have their *NERVE* going after them to get daddy.

[uponit7771]

53. +1

[dawg day]

6. Public PLEASE!

I want to see Ivanka's plastic face start to crack.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Throw Jared Kushner into the mix and we'd have a Trifecta

And parking Eric Trump behind them for moral support would be comedy gold.

[global1]

9. It Might Be That Eric Knows More Than We Suspect....

I wouldn't let him off the hook. Wasn't/Isn't his wife pretty active with the Trump Campaign?

[Brother Buzz]

12. Eric is totally involved and that's where the comedy comes in....

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.

[brush]

48. He employes many undocumented workers at his winery...

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.

[lagomorph777]

29. Yes, Turd-In-Law and Eric The Turd would really make this a party.

In fact, let's do a panel hearing! Watch 'em tear each others' faces off!

[Leghorn21]

8. YEAH!! Also, Cohen mentioned these two names yesterday during AOC's queries about MF45 tax

scams: Rob Liebman and Matthew Calimarri (sp)

We’ll leave the light on for you, Rob and Matthew, whoever you are!!

(Ever since Rick Gates turned out to be such a HUGE goldmine of info, I now keep my eye on “the little people” I never heard of before!)

GOOD TIMES

On edit, here’s Calimari:

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. Calimari is an ex-bodyguard who Trump elevated to top position in the Trump Org.

He is thick as a rock, I kid you not.

Once he was on the Apprentice, supposed to say ONE thing, and this was the result:

[RVN VET71]

25. Wow!

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!)

[TheBlackAdder]

27. On the school bus, he had the back row all to himself: Row 6.

[lastlib]

62. The thought of that duo playing with subatomic particles (DOE) scares the living HELL out of me!

[TheBlackAdder]

26. LOL! Thanks for the laugh! He's a fucking moron, no wonder he's a Trump Org biggie.

[Leghorn21]

32. Thank you d! This video is on the link I posted so I just saw it this morning and I said

ERMAGERD, ONLY THE BEST, BABY!!!

Anyway, I hope his hearing is TELEVISED, know whut I mean??!

[miyazaki]

41. They're gonna fry that big squid. nt

[dustyscamp]

45. He looks like Ernie from Scarface

https://goo.gl/images/YP8Tuh

[Bettie]

10. Princess Ivanka won't

testify in front of the commoners! She'll stomp her little foot and say "I'm a government official! You can't make me, peasant!".

[RVN VET71]

40. If they are subpoenaed, they'll use the power of the Executive to get deposed privately.

I can't imagine the Prince and Princess of Darkness being forced to sit in the same chair as commoners, my god!, and answer rude and probing questions from Democratic politicians!


We'll see.

[dixiegrrrrl]

55. that won't work.

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]

59. Executive Privilege?

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.

[SHRED]

13. No Jared?

[mcar]

14. ...

[yaesu]

15. Since they lived on 5th Ave they will probably take the 5th when called to testify. nt

[rurallib]

16. Will Jordan and Meadows be on the lookout for lies by these guys?

[erlewyne]

17. They are in the clear.

They got Mutch and Gym backing them.

[ffr]

19. Finally! Constitutional leaders following their constitutional duties.

Fucking Mitch!

[rickyhall]

20. Ivanka might look good in jumpsuit.

[lame54]

24. It's all in how you accessorize

[Blue Owl]

31. And swap out that vacuum for a dirty prison mop

n/t

[LibDemAlways]

57. Guaranteed that Ivanka has never touched a

vacuum in her life. However, at some point she may have pointed at one and ordered a servant to use it. Cleaning utensils are for the little people.

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

[zentrum]

21. She'll do a charm offensive.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. I want to see that

It will also be interesting to see the tap dancing to try to avoid having to testify.

[lame54]

23. Do it before they're indicted...

Then they can't use the excuse of an ongoing investigation

[malaise]

30. Yes!

About time

[Miles Archer]

33. ...AND...

[Iliyah]

34. Oh my gawd. I can't can't picture them

testifying under oath. Junior doesn't appear capable nor does Ivanka.

[Cousin Dupree]

35. Ivanka will use her best little girl voice, bat her eyelashes and maybe cry a little.

Poor little princess being questioned HARD by those Dem meanies.

[tclambert]

38. You know they're gonna perjure themselves.

[dalton99a]

39. Finally.

[certainot]

42. make it so! soon!

[mia]

43. If Trump loved his children,

he would resign rather than expect them to lie for him.

[Soph0571]

44. BOOM indeed

[kentuck]

46. Weisselberg first!

Follow the money...

[Totally Tunsie]

50. Need to hook them both up to lie detectors during their testimony.

Damn things would be humming like the electric chair!

[C_U_L8R]

51. She just lied on tape about Jared's bogus security clearance

I'd love to see some serious cross-examination.

[dixiegrrrrl]

52. New York had her and Jr. on fraud charges and Vance was bought off and dropped charges.

[Scurrilous]

58. K&R

[Pepsidog]

63. They will lead 5th or exert, improperly, executive privilege.

If they show at all. I maybe wrong, but during the Bush presidency didn’t some administration officials simply not show up?
