Quash my subpoena, Ivanka Trump tells NY judge, in asking not to testify against her father.

[ificandream]

Source: Business Insider

Ivanka Trump is fighting hard against being forced to testify against her father and brothers in the ongoing Trump civil fraud trial in New York.

On the eve of a Friday deadline, by which she must agree to take the stand as early as later this month, her lawyer made a lengthy objection to her subpoena.

The objection, in court papers filed late Thursday, calls the New York Attorney General's Office subpoena overly broad.

It also accuses the AG's office of botching how it served Ivanka Trump with her subpoena, alleging a technical foul her lawyer says should invalidate her obligation to testify.

1. Sorry, Vankie, but it's a family affair

Unless you're married you father, you must testify.

Sucks to be a trump these days.

[GopherGal]

5. Spousal privilege doesn't apply...

no matter how much Daddy wishes he was married to you.

Come to think of it, that's probably the only reason he's still married to Malaria: so she can't be compelled to testify against him.

[calguy]

7. Good point

[calimary]

55. That makes total sense.

[BeyondGeography]

26. And in this case the mud is thicker than the blood

[carpetbagger]

68. Not to mention, it's the opposite in Florida...

You don't marry your kids to get spousal privelege. In Palm Beach, rich guys adopt their girlfriends to shield wealth from civil suits.

[Layzeebeaver]

70. Why didn't I think of that?!?!?

Oh wait, let me think...

1) Not rich (Damnit!)
2) Not living in Florida (Thank you sweet risen Jesus!)
3) Not dating someone young enough to be my daughter (if I had one - although... Hmmm... must assume wife would strongly disapprove.)
4) Not stupid (most of the time)

Whew! Guess I dodged a bullet there.

[Evolve Dammit]

105. humor appreciated! Same here

[smb]

83. Don't Give Daddy (More) Ideas

Unless you're married you father

[DENVERPOPS]

91. Ivanka

could very honestly take the fifth......saying she doesn't have to testify, because she cannot be compelled to testify on the grounds she may incriminate herself with her testimony about her father. AND everyone knows that is perfectly believable as the entire family was in on every last grift that took place in daddy's occupation of the white house..........

So let's not waste time, months and months, arguing something that has a foregone conclusion...........

[HariSeldon]

94. Pleading the 5th in a civil case?

The judge can allow the jury to draw a negative inference from the refusal to testify on 5th Amendment grounds: business people are supposed to run their businesses in a way that doesn't put them in jeopardy of incriminating themselves with testimony.

[Jarqui]

103. But making her take the 5th is not good in civil cases

Inferences can be drawn by the judge.

So they should make her to help their case.

As well, the only reason she isn't defending the civil claim herself is the fraud they had her on got wiped out by the statute of limitations.

Some of her motivation here is self preservation in the media because the media will remind everyone she got off on a technicality.

That family including her made hundreds of millions of Americans suffer.
She deserves every bit of discomfort she's got coming and then some while she basks in the money the Saudis showered her with.

[hibbing]

2. Poor little princess n/t

[TheBlackAdder]

88. If Trump gets back in office. . .

.

[MOMFUDSKI]

3. Judge guy doesn't think

she is a PRINCESS. lol

[2naSalit]

4. Sorry czarina...

You did the crime, pay the consequences. You were subpoenaed, comply or else.


Oh, and fuck you.

[MontanaMama]

6. What you said.

Especially the last line...

[2naSalit]

35. I'm having some fun...

Thinking about how she's not going to be wealthy when she's old and how she is going to look when she can't afford the kidney tune ups like she's going to want.



PS I never had any work done, never expected to be Miss America and I'm old and hopelessly wrinkled so I'm already there. Can't wait to welcome her to the club

[MOMFUDSKI]

36. Kidney Tuneups!!!

I can’t stop laughing. Thanks

[Aristus]

40. That is thoroughly and totally evil of you.

I love it!

[LakeArenal]

78. Ummm, they do have $2B tucked away.

I doubt she will need food stamps.

[2naSalit]

87. Somehow...

I bet that's already gone and if not, it could be considered money for fines and legal fees, which will be pricey.

I'm going to dream her old and very sorry.

[brush]

17. Yep, no one told her unqualified behind to take the position of senior advisor...

in the trump admin. I still crack up when I think of her trying to insinuate herself into a conversation of IMF veterans at a conference...the look on their faces (what the fuck is she going on about) as they listened to her for a few seconds before dismissing her as the of-no-consequence, lightweight that she remains.

She had no business being there, or being a senior advisor to anything, except for maybe how to give lap dances to daddy.

[2naSalit]

34. It was surely something to see...

With equal disgust and amusement as she was shown how others really see her. I can't wait until she gets hers... too.

[Beachnutt]

37. She is also a consultant

she was paid by trump inc as a consultant...

[Aristus]

41. God, what a cringe moment.

Wasn't it something along the lines of "Hey, gang! Isn't my Daddy doing, um, like, you know, just a totally awesome job as President?"

I would have been like "Yeah, honey, the shoe clerk convention is in another hotel!..."

[brush]

43. Heehee. Cringe worthy indeed.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

89. She stuck her skank bum

Into an ongoing conversation with something vapid and irrelevant to the discussion:

https://www.esquireme.com/news/36149-ivanka-trump-just-got-ignored-by-worlds-most-powerful-people

[aggiesal]

49. Don't forget they also laughed at daddy ...

at the U.N. when Daddy said his administration has accomplished more in less than 2 years than any President in the history.

[Justice matters.]

65. What an embarrassment that criminal a-hole was there. nt

[3catwoman3]

81. There and everywhere else.

When I see that fugly smirking face, there is part of me that still has trouble believing that ass was actually POTUS - a 4 year prank.

[tonekat]

54. That was priceless.

She was so out of her league and they weren't having it.

[trusty elf]

71. ...

[brush]

72. Hahahahahhahaha! That's about it all right.

Good Photoshop job, btw.

[ChazInAz]

112. Boge moi!

Even Stalin is giving her some skeptical side-eye!

[msfiddlestix]

74. Occupying the White House was a Business Opportunity too good to avoid in Trump Landia

It was all about furthering there "business" schemes.
that was the point of Trump aiming for the potus in the first place.
Of course the attention of his cult followers fawning over him and his daughter was icing on the cake.

[Chainfire]

8. You would think that she would love to testify and set the record straight for Daddy.

[swong19104]

20. Exactly!

If daddy and brothers were innocent, she would love to have her chance to testify and clear all the misconceptions and exonerate her family. Why wouldn't she want to have that chance?

[erronis]

28. This holds for all the perps surrounding tfg.

If you were doing things that weren't illegal, then be proud to testify.

I'm surprised this doesn't come up more in conversations about all of the clowns, hucksters, cons, lawyers (maybe they're all the same.)

[lastlib]

60. C'mon, Sparklepuss, spill the beans!

Daddy isn't gonna live much longer, and he'll be put away for most (if not all) of his remaining time, so you don't have to put up with him much after you spill it. You'll still get your inheritance ( what the legal fees and damages/fines don't take, anyway).

Besides, it may be all that saves your bacon as well.

[Rocknation]

110. Da da da Da da da Da da DAD

Rocknation

[JoseBalow]

9. She doesn't want to tell on daddy

[claudette]

10. Oh no

🤮

[magicarpet]

11. Kiss,.. kiss,... kiss,..

Oh please that photo,...

[Karma13612]

58. I know!!!!

I have one where she is about 16 and they’re in a limo. He’s got her in one of those caveman neck holds.

Can’t believe it wasn’t all over the TV in the 2016 election. I know it’s supposed to be hands off family but this was gross.

He’s a very bad father, among a long list of other failures.

[keithbvadu2]

98. Different kisses

[3catwoman3]

106. Both are disgusting...

…for different reasons.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. That thumb seems to be wandering into side boob territory.

[dchill]

53. He's all over it, so to speak.

[Marcuse]

69. Terra incognito, I'm sure. Their family tree is stable.

[BamaRefugee]

93. *side fake boob territory* FIXED ;-)

[Comfortably_Numb]

18. Damn...I need eye bleach. Them there's two sickos.

[SunSeeker]

50. EEEEUUUWWW

[Skittles]

73. outside of the perviness

I can honestly say my fingers are longer than his. Yup.

[smb]

85. Ugh!

[Celerity]

96. she wants mushroom time

[ificandream]

12. Don't cry daddy ... daddy, please don't cry ...

[magicarpet]

16. Touch me where you shouldn't Daddy.

It will make us both feel better.

Let me sit in your lap,.. let the fondling begin.

Oh Daddy,... you are such a he man.

[Comfortably_Numb]

21. I had forgotten about these incest photos.

[ShazzieB]

56. I had forgotten just HOW creepy they were.

There are degrees of creepy, and this stuff is creepy to the max.

[C Moon]

59. Yeah, I can't look at that. That is fucking creepy!

[Comfortably_Numb]

63. Repugnant

[Hope22]

90. Lol!

Barbs comment always brings a smile! I say we let Ivanka speak at her own trial then. No way her skirts are clean……

[greatauntoftriplets]

66. Don't cry for me, Daddy Trumpie!!!

[3catwoman3]

107. After seeing those photos, my late mother...

…was quite certain that Ivanka had been molested by her creepy dad.

There are certainly no pictures like that of my father and me.

[Wonder Why]

14. Ivanka, you don't want to testify under oath your dad and your brothers are just criminals and liars without any morals? Not a problem.

Just go on MSNBC and publicly state everything you know.

[sarcasmo]

19. Daddy, they made me testify.

[Deuxcents]

22. This whole family demands to be entitled

To be above the law and norms of society.

[Hekate]

23. Dear Crown Princess: this is America

[keithbvadu2]

100. "We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes. It's in our national interest to flatter them."

http://www.newsweek.com/indian-diplomat-compares-ivanka-trump-half-wit-saudi-prince-650206

"We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes. It's in our national interest to flatter them.”

[Hekate]

104. I remember that vividly. I laughed out loud when I read it.

[LudwigPastorius]

24. "Quash my subpoena"

Sounds like what she tells Jared when she’s feelin’ frisky.

[orangecrush]

25. Too bad, princess

You are not above the law.

Bring Jared with you.

[Blue Owl]

27. Show us on the doll where daddy touched you

[multigraincracker]

29. Would flip on him

for some immunity?

Asking for a friend.

[Kennah]

30. Give her liberty, or give her 30 days in jail

[justhanginon]

31. Sorry, Ivanka, the family that grifts together inevitably ends up in court together.

[bucolic_frolic]

32. The Trump family doesn't want to be divided? Rich, after Mexican family border separations

[ificandream]

44. Excellent point.

[wiggs]

33. Like the gop in general, she'll say one thing in public about TFG and do something else out of view. nt

[Scottie Mom]

38. Poor Widdle Pwincess!

See a tear in my eye? NOT!

She got herself in this jam and it's too F/N bad that she has to tell the truth about Dah--Dee. If she saw something illegal, she should have gotten the hell out of Dodge.

JMHO.

[Ziggysmom]

39. I always loved the looks Angela Merkel gave princess trumpette LOL!

?si=Wo460bmBCQzqGViq

[3catwoman3]

82. This clip is really funny, as are...

…the real Merkel eye rolls.

Thnx for posting it.

[The Roux Comes First]

42. Where's the Gratitude for Not Being a Party to the Charges??

But I guess "unaccountable" and "ungrateful" are probably in her DNA.

Not to mention "entitled."

[Tree Lady]

45. You stopped being a family

when you went to work for the White House which we all as citizens control and pay for with our taxes.

[Justice matters.]

67. Yep. Speaking of taxes, anyone saw hers??

A familly of lifetime fraudsters... sure must be some frauds in hers.

[moniss]

46. She is guaranteed to remember

nothing.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

62. Like a certain German guard at Stalag 13

[llmart]

47. Ooohhh...Princess Sparklepony has a sad.

Daddy promised her she'd be the first female President and now all she got was a subpoena. Too bad, so sad. Suck it up, buttercup.

[Hotler]

48. Sean Hannity says, "just comply." nt

[SunSeeker]

51. Tough shit, Sunshine.

You're gonna have to testify. Waiting until literally the last minute to object, and then objecting on the bullshit basis of "overbreadth" and a ticky tacky service objection (after you evaded service), is not going to impress the judge.

[AllyCat]

52. Fine then we sue her too.

[truthisfreedom]

57. It seems dangerous for the court to do anything half-assed

It’s so important for there to be zero wiggle room for these corrupt monsters.

[czarjak]

61. Daddy who?

[ShazzieB]

64. I had to find out what kind of "technical foul" her lawyers are claiming.

Here's what the article says:

The objection, in court papers filed late Thursday, calls the New York Attorney General's Office subpoena overly broad. It also accuses the AG's office of botching how it served Ivanka Trump with her subpoena, alleging a technical foul her lawyer says should invalidate her obligation to testify.

The technical foul? Copies of the subpoena was sent to three of her corporate addresses, but not to her personally, said the lawyer, Bennet J. Moskowitz.

"Each of these three subpoenas listed Ms. Trump's name only in the 'to' line above the LLCs' names and the names and addresses of their registered agents," Moskowitz wrote.

"The body of the Subpoenas requested a 'personal appearance' 'to give testimony' at trial but did not identify any specific employee, officer, or director that the NYAG wanted to appear," he wrote.

I'm no legal expert, but it sounds pretty weak to me. She must be really desperate not to testify to resort to such a flimsy pretext for trying to beg off. Poor little Ivanka. Please pardon me while I blot away my crocodile tears.*blows nose* There, that will do.

[panfluteman]

75. So - Even Trump's Daughter Ivanka Isn't Immune from the MAGA Death Threats!

Heck - for wannabe dictator Donald Trump, this is all out war against the DOJ, the American legal system, and even the US Constitution itself! As they say, extreme circumstances call for extreme measures.

[Skwishy]

76. Entitled rich brat

She is shocked that the law applies to her too.

[peppertree]

77. To say nothing of Jar-Jar

He should be forced to disgorge the billions he collected by shaking down Qatar and coddling the Saudis.

But he really does seem to be above the law - at least thus far.

[LakeArenal]

79. Wi es don't testify against their husband.... Oh wait....

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

80. "I had to testify, Daddy. I look terrible in orange!" n/t

[AllaN01Bear]

84. sorry charlie.

[Maine Abu El Banat]

86. But why on earth

Would she not want to tell the truth about these innocent men?

[Duncan Grant]

92. "American Patriots" - deleted tweet, Ivanka Trump, January 6th

If this were real life, Ivanka would be the most duplicitous and treacherous character.

[AverageOldGuy]

95. Poor Little Princess Sparkle Pony

Reality is a real sonofabitch.

[turbinetree]

97. Hey Ivanka were you sitting at the table when this shit was going on.....

or how about traipsing from office to office....me thinks so.....your eye balls deep into the shit show....

Start this for practice in front of a mirror .....

Do you Swear To TELL The Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth, so help you god......no finger crossed ........

[IcyPeas]

99. A quote from The Great Gatsby:

[keithbvadu2]

101. You were hired and paid as an employee, not a family member. Right?

[MorbidButterflyTat]

102. I can't help

but feel a bit sorry for her.

Yes, her family is criminal scum, but I remember her comment to someone when he walked into some pageant dressing room, and Ivanka casually replied, "Oh, he always does that." That is NOT normal. I have no doubt he sexually molested her, and maybe even raped her. And maybe worse.

She's a criminal, but she's also a victim.

[3catwoman3]

108. I commented higher in the thread that my late mother...

…was certain that Ivanka had been sexually abused.

[Mz Pip]

111. She was inside

And she knows things. No wonder she wants to stay clear of the whole mess. She’s been remarkably silent the past few years, unlike her whacko brothers. She probably could bring down their whole house of cards and doesn’t want to be the one to do it,

[bluestarone]

113. Can she hide in Florida?

Could the Gov. of Florida protect her? Maybe that's her plan.

[Thunderbeast]

114. We need to visit WHY she was removed from the charges.

She was originally a defendant. James separated her before the trial. Speculation was that she agreed to be a witness to the mobster family business practices.

[Kennah]

115. Veruca responds
