1. Closer and closer.

[bigtree]

2. yep, these are cleanup subpoenas

...testing the evidence they've already presented to the grand jury by forcing the principals to account for it all (or not) before jurors.

End game, with challenges, claims of privilege and other squirming, this time in front of the GJ.

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. With a perjury trap on the side...I like it! Nt

[3Hotdogs]

33. Nah. "On the advice of council ................."

[bigtree]

36. the jurors will weigh those responses, as well

...against what they've been told by others, or what they believe they know.

Staying mum might keep the damage from piling on, but in many cases, the damage may already be done in testimony before the grand jury.

Also, there may be opportunities or efforts to immunize one or both to overcome any reticence to testify, all of that in front of the jurors, as well.

[Fiendish Thingy]

39. If they answered the same question under oath for the J6 committee...

And that testimony is certainly admissible evidence, I don’t think they’ll be taking the fifth in front of the grand jury. Same thing for privilege claims.

[3Hotdogs]

40. Do we know how they responded to the committee?

[Fiendish Thingy]

42. They showed some clips of both of them answering questions during the J6 committee hearings

Didn’t you watch?

[3Hotdogs]

44. No. I have the hots for MTG. I was in the bathroom, relieving sexual tension thinking of MTG

while Jar-jar and Princess Sparkle Pony were testifying.

[ecstatic]

46. Yuck

[Scrivener7]

3. YES!!

[Tetrachloride]

4. Going to chop some onions.

Go visit some crocodiles.

Take some acting classes.

That’s my story.

Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former President Donald Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner have been subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith, ABC News has learned.

The subpoena for the couple is specifically related to the special counsel's probe of Jan. 6 and the activities leading up to that day by the former president and his allies regarding efforts to overturn the election, sources told ABC News.

A spokesperson for Trump and Kushner did not respond to ABC News.

The news was first reported by The New York Times.


This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

26. "A spokesperson for Trump and Kushner did not respond to ABC News."

You know they're rich, when they hire a spokesperson to not respond. You'ld think they could not respond on their own.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. I would think at this point

any "spokesperson" would need to be a lawyer!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

32. Yes, a lawyer AND a CPA

Instead, they hired Marcel Marceau to answer the phone.

[BumRushDaShow]

35. He probably did a good

(faked) job of it too!

[Hekate]

9. Better & better....

Now where’s our little friend who’s counting the months alleging *nothing* is being done by DOJ?

[betsuni]

28. +1

[MiHale]

49. Chuckle...

[Mr.Bill]

10. This made me think of something.

With all the MAGA idiots talking about Biden's memory and cognitive issues, just watch how much Ivanka and Jared don't remember once they are under oath.

[GGoss]

11. K & R !!!

[Auggie]

12. My immediate thought? It's perjury time.

[SheltieLover]

13. I'll bet the catsup is flying...

[Peregrine Took]

14. All hail Jack Smith. He saw what needed to be done and he did it. n/t

[Mickju]

15. I like it.

[peppertree]

16. It's a dirty job - but someone's gotta do it

[JohnnyRingo]

17. I know what daddy's gonna tell them.

But can they ignore it and hope it just goes away?
I wouldn't think so, but this is unprecedented.

[peppertree]

19. I can imagine the conversation:

"Stall'em, Jared - always worked for me."

"But, Donald. I could end up in jail!!"

"Quit bellyaching. A little time in the slammer might put some hair on your chest."

"Eww. Plus - do you realize what they feed people in there! To just think of what it would do to my skin, my thighs!"

"Ugh. You're worse than Ivanka."

[JohnnyRingo]

21. Hahaha

Or he'll just talk to Ivanka. Jared who?

[peppertree]

22. Ah, yes - his Tootsie.

Cheeto is one sick puppy.

[calimary]

48. His "daughter-wife" as I've heard her described.

[peppertree]

50. Sounds about right

His 'dwife' with the lacy dwapes.

[70sEraVet]

34. Daddy's gonna say, "I dont know them. I think they used to make coffee. The blonde is cute though."

[iluvtennis]

18. LMAO

[Tarzanrock]

20. Dirty fingers and unclean hands

Dirty fingers and unclean hands -- the fun is just beginning.

[burrowowl]

23. Kick!

[ShazzieB]

24. A subpoena for Javanka, hurray!

[bluestarone]

25. I cannot say for certain, BUT

I bet the questions are already chosen. Plus they already have the answers. NOW we'll see if they match up.

[OMGWTF]

29. THIS! THIS! THIS!

Lawyers never ask a question that they don't already know the answer to.

[GB_RN]

43. Correction...

Good (read: Smart, intelligent) lawyers don’t ask questions they don’t already know the answers to.

By all accounts, Jack Smith is quite intelligent.

[3Hotdogs]

27. As my students would say,

"FUCK 'EM UP !"

[lindysalsagal]

30. Rembering her playing Jacqueline Kennedy, at the Vatican, with

Elected officials. The Darling Princess. Maybe not worth it today!

I hope she saves her own skin and throws the monster under the hum-vee-sherman-tank-757-bus.

[TNNurse]

37. Can't he get a warrant for their arrest if they do not comply???

[MissMillie]

38. Getting closer and closer to the target

that's what I noted to Al just last week.

I know it seems like forever--it feels that way to me too. I'm hoping this means he's making an air-tight case.

I imagine it will still be a few months. I think it HAS to come before the DOJ's self-imposed 90-day rule. If the first primaries are in February or March of next year, then before Thanksgiving. (Hopefully WAY before Thanksgiving.)

[republianmushroom]

41. So Jack wants to ask them some questions, that is all.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

45. This makes me smile

47. drump will commit even more crimes in response to this news

He cannot help himself. Is there even a point of keeping track of all the crimes? Lol. That's why investigations of him never finish. It's just too much.

[SayItLoud]

51. Next up will be:

The SLOBFATHER.

[Scrivener7]

52. The tabloids say their marriage is imploding. I wonder how that will

shape things.

[Pepsidog]

53. Forget J6, I want to know about 666 Bldg. lease and the 2B invested by Saudis and quid pro quo.
