1. I learned to do laundry from my grandma, Ivanka learned to launder money from her dad

[Roland99]

19. Wonder if they'll move Mar-a-Lago to the Ozarks?

hehe

[lastlib]

28. (it's gonna need to be closer than that to Leavenworth......)

How does it feel, SparklePrincess?

"Ah, princess on the steeple and all the
Pretty people they're all drinkin',
thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all their precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring
You'd better pawn it, babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags
And the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you
You can't refuse
When you ain't got nothin'
You got nothin' to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets
To conceal
How does it feel?
Ah, how does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?"

--Bob Dylan, Like A Rolling Stone

29. Awesome response.

[rustysgurl]

35. We're about 30 miles from Leavenworth

I wonder if the economy around here's going to be affected by all the supplicants and toadies who will come to stand outside the gates and worship their imprisoned "Royal Family"???

[niyad]

55. Get your concession stand application in early!

[catrose]

20. She did say out loud with live mics that she got her moral compass from her father. Believe her!

[CTyankee]

2. Oh, boy. Hope we hear more and more come out as we watch him do a pardon for all his

family members and let the others hang out to dry...

[ancianita]

30. He can't, on this one. Her case is in SDNY's jurisdiction.

[Me.]

33. Isn't SDNY A Section Of The JUstice Dept

and thus federal?

[ancianita]

38. So I'm wrong. Dammit. Fooled myself again. Couldn't the offense fall under state jurisdiction

though, because of state money laundering laws and if the crime was committed in the state?

[Me.]

39. Wishful Thinking Fools Us All

[ancianita]

40. So does that mean that no charges at SDNY on Trump will escape pardons, either? Then

that means that the only state charges that escape pardons are those made by the NY AG.

Is that the extent of it? Because if it is, that family has gotten away with SO much federal crime.

[Me.]

57. If It Is A Federal Case The Pardon Will Be Effective

THe thing is, we don't know enough about the case yet to make a determination on what chance there is for her to pay for her crime or if she will be able to escape. Everything is conjecture at this point.

1. For one think, I think it depends on what jurisdiction is declared

"“A Civil court has jurisdiction to decide a suit if two requirements are fulfilled: The suit must be of a civil nature. The cognizance of such a suit should not have been expressly or impliedly barred.”

The jurisdiction of a legal case depends on both personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction. A court must have both subject matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction over the matter to hear a case. Subject matter comes first"

A way she could be caught up would be if it becomes a RICO, or racketeering matter. I Believe the AG of NY is looking to tie them up with that charge in civil court in NY.

"A civil RICO action can be filed in state or federal court. Both the criminal and civil components allow the recovery of treble damages (damages in triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).

RICO authorizes severe penalties of fine and imprisonment. The maximum punishment for an individual on a single RICO charge is imprisonment for twenty years (life if any of the predicate acts charged, such as murder, would permit such a punishment), and a fine of $250,000 or twice the proceeds of the offense"

[ancianita]

61. Thank you.

[Me.]

64. BAY

[marble falls]

51. If it becomes a civil suit, no one can stop it. Pardons mean nothing.

[secondwind]

52. I believe the SDNY is not federal

[Me.]

54. Sadly, In This Case, Is. It's The NY Part That's Fooling Everyone

"The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (in case citations, S.D.N.Y.) is a federal district court whose geographic jurisdiction encompasses eight counties of New York State"

[CTyankee]

34. Oh, good. I wonder if my Trumpie neighbor is gonna do a whole Facebook posting on how awful

that is. I also wonder if there are any "extenuating circumstances." Hmm...

[LiberalArkie]

43. Trump has been doing it for years, throughout the Clinton and Obama years and SDNY

never did anything.

[rickyhall]

45. Maybe longer.

[ancianita]

50. Yeah but now, SDNY's got at least four more years of evidence, so maybe now they will.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

63. The difference is, now they have someone who will pardon these crimes.

[James48]

3. Well, imagine that!

Who could ever have guessed ?

[KS Toronado]

[soothsayer]

4. This is getting good

[abqtommy]

5. This is the new tRUMP normalcy. (YAWN)

[SWBTATTReg]

6. I suspect far more 'dirty laundry' is going to air/be made public once the idiot is out of office...

and they should be made to pay for their crimes...all of them...

[calimary]

11. Yes. ALL of them! Every last rotten seditious one of 'em!

[ResistantAmerican17]

7. Ceramic Barbie is fake eyebrow deep in illegal shit.

Time to pay the piper daughter/wife.

[Botany]

47. "Ceramic Barbie"

Fake teeth, fake nose, fake hair, fake breasts, and fake what ever else.

She learned biz from Daddy. Check out "Trump Condos" Baja.

[ResistantAmerican17]

58. A picture that makes my point better than I ever could.

Thank you!

[LiberalLovinLug]

59. In 20 years she'll look just like daddy!!!

Using a free aging app. I added the orange.

[MoonRiver]

8. And the grift goes on...

?t=8

[kysrsoze]

9. The brothers are just stupid small-time grifters, but Ivanka is nearly as much a criminal as Dump.

Her name is all over Dump's money laundering schemes.

[calimary]

18. And I hope her name is eventually all over subpoena documents and

maybe an arrest warrant, too!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see her wind up behind bars. And daddy wouldn’t be able to pardon her any further by then.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

10. No wonder he wants a "blanket pardon" for his kids. What about Melania? She's been subpoenaed.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. He's recently discovered she's stupid and old, too.

So pretty sure everything will be her fault very soon.

[Arne]

22. Mix some Blood money with that my dear.

[servermsh]

12. FYI, the linked story is from 2017 n/t

[Princess Turandot]

13. FYI This happened in 2017..

This is the article that the tweet references:

https://www.newsweek.com/ivanka-trump-diamonds-caught-alleged-money-laundering-scheme-757168

[mr_lebowski]

15. But is the court filing mentioning the diamond story ... new?

[Faux pas]

14. Kickin' with disgust!

[MyOwnPeace]

16. Has ANYBODY stepped back and asked:

"Why would a "president" need to pardon his children?

Well, not anybody that's been awake for the past 5 years.............


PS: Does anybody remember this question coming up at the end of the Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (I), Clinton, Bush (II), Obama administrations?

[Bev54]

17. I remember reading something about this a few years ago

when they first came in to office. Had something to do with a partner or employee of hers. Is this something new in that case or new altogether?

[LiberalFighter]

23. There isn't an honest bone in her body. Most of her body is fake or reshaped.

[LiberalFighter]

24. Maybe the bank should file in Dubai and get her extradited there?

A pardon won't help her there.

[Hekate]

25. I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you

[safeinOhio]

26. Anything in there that a state AG

could go after?

[LaMouffette]

27. Just seemed appropriate!

[samsingh]

31. Lock her up

[ancianita]

32. No matter what year, more charges are likely to be filed by SDNY, which makes

Momma Ivanka a cautionary tale for her children.

[Vinca]

37. Princess might be headed for the big house and I don't mean a castle somewhere.

[FakeNoose]

41. Ivanka has been knee-deep in this from the beginning, so has her husband

I figure this is a two-fer because Jared is an guilty as she is. He has been Chump's international bagman for the last 4 years. No doubt that Chump would burn Jared and send him to jail if he had to ... but darling Ivanka? NEVER!

[Rice4VP]

42. LOCK HER UP!

[Callado119]

44. Hopefully she'll soon be trading that tacky orange dress..

..for an orange jumpsuit. She’s earned it..

[Lonestarblue]

46. The money laundering from the Azerbijan project in 2015-2016 also needs investigating.

Millions were poured into a high rise that has never been occupied. Ivanka Trump managed it for Trump Org. Here’s an article from Crooks and Liars. https://crooksandliars.com/2020/01/ivanka-trump-azerbaijan-tower-and-money

It’s a site that leans far left, but Media Bias rates their reporting as mostly factual. As I scanned this article, something interesting popped out for me—the name Qasem Soleimani, the very general that Trump had assassinated in a surprise raid. Soleimani was certainly not one of the good guys, but he had been doing a lot to fight ISIS, so we had some shared goals. I never really bought Trump’s reason for why he had to be killed. Perhaps there’s something else behind this story. I suspect that the Trumps have been part of international money laundering and criminal elements since the late 1980s when Trump’s numerous business failures meant that he could no longer get money here.

All the Trumps need to be investigated because if Donald does not run in 2024, then either Jr. or Ivanka will. We do not need another Trump in the White House ever.

[NellieStarbuck]

49. Wow. Interesting.

[NellieStarbuck]

48. Well, it appears that Vanky actually likes to wear orange, so . . .

[birdographer]

53. No pardon on this, right?

Since it's SDNY, his blanket pardon for all his kiddies won't affect this, will it?

[lindysalsagal]

56. If Ivanka's kids sold girlscout cookies or candybars for charity they'd find a way to launder the mo

money from some corrupt russian gangster.

[tanyev]

60. There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

But diamonds are a girl's best friend, Vanky.

[Blue Owl]

62. Ivanka be incarcerated

[moonscape]

65. The whole family will be pardoned, but ...

they will be unable to resist committing crimes after leaving office.

It's what they do.
