(72,898 posts)Bill Barr says NY AG James overreached by bringing Trump's 'children' into the financial fraud case. Which is rich because they're the same age as Barr's daughter Mary who helped cover up Trump's crimes at the Treasury Dept.

Barron is his "child." Ivanka, Jr., "and Eric" are adult relatives and co-conspirators.

I think Ivanka is going to fly away, she and Jarred do have a lot of money they need to protect, and its funny how we don't hear from either Jarred or Ivanka, maybe they too are trying to run away from the disaster that trump is.

(1,654 posts)She was housebound and legally blind and listened to her radio all day. She really believed he "told it like it is." She went from a Democrat born from immigrant parents, a working mother after her husband died, to somebody who believed the "other people" were going to ruin our way of life. She went from easygoing to being more argumentative and harder to get along with. If she were alive today, I don't know what she would make of YouTube.
But we dismiss radio to our peril. To a large segment of the population, it's still their only source of what they think is real news, but is no more news than reality TV is reality.

(11,390 posts)even when we're up in our sixties or seventies or later. Most of us, though, learned about personal responsibility by the time we were in our twenties.
But I bet Ivanka and the rest will try this as a defense, especially her: I can picture her on the stand, voice all a-tremble and lips quivering, saying she was only doing what Daddy Dearest asked.

Well and truly complicit.
Go after him, go after the offspring, go after anyone who helped the orange stain do what he did.
He couldn't have done what he did all by himself.
He had help.
Lots of help.
