Shes much less likely to stay loyal than Allen Weisselberg.

The Trump Organization is now feeling the heat, with its CFO under indictment for grand larceny. Prosecutors are clearing to get that money man, Allen Weisselberg, to flip on his boss. But one interested observer says there may be another member of the Trump crew whos even more likely to turn on the Don: his daughter Ivanka.
Both Ivanka and Weisselberg benefited from a similar perk, if that indictment by Manhattan prosecutors and reporting from The New York Times are to be believed. Both were officers of the Trump Organization and simultaneously were consultants for the company, too. Its an arrangement that appears designed to shield all parties involved from paying taxesand could open Ivanka up to tax fraud charges, just like her dads CFO.
Shes much less likely to stay loyal than Allen Weisselberg, says Mary Trump, the member of the family who has famously turned on the clan.

But Allen had a pretty cushy gig where he was. And I think kind of in the grand scheme of things, as counterintuitive as this might sound, I think Ivanka has, one, more to lose and, two, more to hang onto. Her husbands family is legitimately very wealthy, Mary Trump answers.
She sees a number of similarities in the emerging case against Weisselberg and her legal dispute with her uncle, the former president. The kind of fraud thats being alleged here is exactly the kind of thing my aunts and uncles did to me, she says. Patterns strongly imply intent, right?

If she's learned from her father, she'll do anything to save her own skin. (n/t)

Yes, I keep hearing how when she was a teen she would slip into daddy's bed on scary, stormy nights.

Mary Trump has no more insight to Ivanka than any other person reading the news.
