As Trumps' Legal Jeopardy Mounts, Will Ivanka Snitch On Daddy?

[brooklynite]

The National Memo

Trump cannot be pardoned for state crimes, and absent a federal pardon, once he leaves office, he will lose the immunity he now enjoys as a sitting president from prosecution for any federal offenses he may have committed. And while Trump's attorneys currently are back before the Supreme Court, asking the panel to narrow the scope of Vance's subpoenas, that effort would appear similarly doomed once Trump departs the White House.

What this means for Ivanka remains to be seen. She has not yet been formally accused of committing a crime, or officially been named as a target of any investigation. Moreover, even if she is eventually indicted, everyone—even a Trump—is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Still, as the clock ticks down on the Trump presidency, the first daughter may well be advised to ponder whether her legal interests and those of her father have diverged to the point where it would be better to cooperate with the authorities, fess up, and ultimately turn state's evidence.

Stay tuned. This story is just beginning.

1. It would end Trump his favorite turning on him....

He would have a heart attack with in seconds of finding out ... I can hear it now "you broke my heart FriedoIvanka"....

6. Oh, I have no doubt that Trump

would turn on Ivanka as well. I seriously doubt there is any loyalty in that family. Any one of them will throw another under the bus to save his/her own ass. Kind of a Reservoir Dogs scenario.

2. Throwing people under the bus seems to be a Trump family tradition

The apple don't fall far from the tree. For sure Prince Jared would rat him out.

3. Time to head out to Costco

and stock up on popcorn.

4. Yes.

5. If you put all the Trumps in a circle

then threw a hundred dollar bill in the middle, they'd kill each other to get it.

7. In a heartbeat, if it means no longer having to hear:

"Make Daddy happy, huh, sweetheart?..."

8. Ivanka is too big a coward to turn on daddy and Jared has no guts so no, not gonna happen

Her being raised a Trump is like being a mafia princess, never turn against the family.
