1. Well, we knew they collected way too much to spend on the inauguration

Didn't one of Melania's friends take a bunch, as well?

[hlthe2b]

2. Yup... but it has been reported earlier that the "friend" was more up front about it

and either answered questions from investigators or refused some of the funds or both... Someone will dig up an earlier press piece on it, but yes, the friend appears not willing to go down for the Trumps.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. 26 Million?

At the same time there was a story out of NYC about Melanoma getting a secret Divorce Settlement in that ballpark . Noticed she moved to a house in Virginia with her Parents and Kid.

[True Blue American]

29. I thought it ws Melania's friend who supposedly

Received 24 million, but you can bet there were deals.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Ivanka going down.

(lock her up!)

[Aristus]

7. Maybe they can convince Trump to cut a deal.

Resign (or whatever) or we prosecute Ivanka.

[madinmaryland]

25. Fuck them. Throw everyone of these fuckers in jail.

[Miguelito Loveless]

28. Not even for his main squeeze

Trump loves no one more than himself.

[Aristus]

34. That's true.

8. I've thought this all along. Everytime I hear Trump mention how much money they raised last month

I always think to myself, and how much of it did you pocket. We all know that Trump has all his family running everything and there's no way that this family isn't skimming milk off the top; particularly when you hear that Trump's businesses income has been on the decline for sometime. All I can say is Lock them ALL up.

[Karadeniz]

9. She was warned by the event coordinator that the costs being used by ivanka appeared

Inflated.

[3Hotdogs]

10. There was a time, I believe it was early spring, 2016.

Trump was being interviewed about why he was running. If I win or lose, either way, I will make money.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. p l e a s e get Kremlin Barbie!

[UTUSN]

12. K&R

[dalton99a]

14. The Fat Scammer taught her well.

[UniteFightBack]

15. It's one thing to do this in your private business, but to do it while in government is just fucking

stupid. But alas, they know of no other way, even when it's in their best self interest.

[Newest Reality]

27. Yes,

That's what I have thought, too.

This is the wrong place to do what they are used to and they either don't realize it or it is just far too addictive and conditioned for them to stop what has been a common way of life that worked well as grifters go. The context is just too large and publicly involved to get away with everything over and over again and expect no repercussions like before.

However, that does offer us some potential relief from this highway robbery and decimation parade, eventually.

[NCLefty]

16. Daddy previously got her & "Don Jr." spontaneously un-investigated for felony fraud with donation:

https://www.propublica.org/article/ivanka-donald-trump-jr-close-to-being-charged-felony-fraud

"Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. Were Close to Being Charged With Felony Fraud"

New York prosecutors were preparing a case. Then the D.A. overruled his staff after a visit from a top donor: Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz.

[Hekate]

17. I have long wished for that whole family to be busted so far down they have to return to...

...the ancestral whorehouse in the Yukon and start over.

[malaise]

18. Rachel Maddow was the first person to raise questions about the inaugural money

way back when.

Lock Them up!

[Scotch-Irish]

20. Rachel Maddow is friggin' AWESOME!!

She has amazing skills to ferret out the truth, and put the pieces all together. Our household loves Rachel.

[malaise]

23. She brought this up shortly after the inauguration

when no one else even raised the issue. She knew something was seriously wrong.

[calimary]

19. Lock her up.

[Demovictory9]

21. shes such a fraud. She says nothing as her father proclaims that she created 14 million jobs

when only 6 million jobs in total have been created in the US. And she's responsible?

[Demovictory9]

Pretend Ivanka was not Ivanka. But down on luck. Homeless. Suffering from substance abuse. Goes into unlocked lobby of residential building. Takes shoes. She'd be charged w/ class C felony in NY. Minimum 3.5. Max 15. Shes accused of stealing $40 million.

[Vinca]

24. $40 million "missing?????" Whoa . . . go big or go home.

I'd love to see Princess in an orange jumpsuit that doesn't have a Gucci label on it.

[The Genealogist]

26. Dotard: Ivanka Who? Is she one of those people who bring me my covfefe and berders?

[crickets]

30. Apple. Tree. Obviously. nt

[beachbumbob]

31. Which federal district is in charge of the investigation?

[hlthe2b]

32. SDNY picked it up from Mueller but EDNY is also looking at it.

https://www.vox.com/2019/2/5/18211600/trump-inauguration-investigation-subpoena-sdny

and

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/13/us/politics/trump-investigations.html

[beachbumbob]

35. Both good districts but Barr can squash any investigation

[hlthe2b]

36. He doesn't hold all the cards, especially in SDNY. The arrest of Giuliani's thugs and Stone

trial underscore that SDNY has a few cards of their own.

[beachbumbob]

37. Actually he does as any and all of them work for him,

District attorneys can be removed.

[hlthe2b]

39. SDNY has long been able to use the loopholes and be strategic.

He can't fire all of the SDNY attorneys. And, they have already shown they can be strategic against him. So actually is on paper, but in reality he does not hold all the cards.

[Ilsa]

33. She should start getting used to wearing orange, I think.

Do they wear orange in federal prison, or that dull tan color?

I hope Martha Stewart tells her to "stuff it" if Ivanka asks for advice on living in prison.

[llmart]

38. Oh, would I love to see her penniless and in a prison cell.

Poor little rich girl. Buckle up buttercup. They're comin' for you.
