Ivanka Trump calls legal inquiries into Trump business political ‘harassment’
The president’s daughter was responding to a New York Times report saying investigations now include tax write-offs that appear to involve her.

Ivanka Trump on Thursday called New York state investigations into her father’s business dealings “harassment,” seeming to confirm that the probes now include tax write-offs that appear to involve her.

“This is harassment pure and simple,” she wrote on Twitter, linking to a New York Times report of recent subpoenas on the Trump Organization. “This ‘inquiry’ by NYC democrats is 100% motivated by politics, publicity and rage. They know very well that there’s nothing here and that there was no tax benefit whatsoever. These politicians are simply ruthless.”


As President Donald Trump prepares to leave the White House, the tweet by his daughter, a White House adviser, could signal the family’s coming defense against mounting inquiries by state authorities.

there is no way the barbie doll princess can be a contractor and an employee of the same company at the same time. You are one or the other. This is not harassment; this is finding out the truth about this outlaw family.

So, STFU Ivanka.

It only works for a little while, eventually your pile of crimes topples down on you. Ask every crook and despot in history.

A) Find an attorney who can make your case without bursting into laughter in court, and

B) Take your chances with the New York and American Judiciaries.

She would collect large sums of tax-deductible money from Trump's company for "consulting services" from Ivanka's company while Ivanka was actually working for Trump's company. This scheme is illegal as they come

with a lot less evidence and we think you’ve started crying and wailing for nothing.

Think of what Hillary went through and put on your big-girl panties and tough it out—if you can.
