The fact that Ivanka is not on the hook yet says two things to me: first, she's of lesser importance and second, naming her is likely to provoke a Uuuuge response from daddy. They may need to lay a solid foundation first.
Mr.Bill
(24,282 posts)because she's one of the targets.
Jr., Jared and Eric are not?
Mr.Bill
(24,282 posts)are the highest level targets, IMO.

(6,228 posts)investigations are really what trump fears the most. trump can't do anything to stop it either.

(51,584 posts)and look how much is finally being investigated. I hope they somehow nail Nunus for assisiting obstruction as well as the other main GOP criminals.

(51,584 posts)Before he only had to distract from Mueller but now it is multiplied by three with the Dem House and SDNY.
He is feeling scared, angry and paranoid and this is making him even more crazy (I didn't think it was possible) and dangerous.

(12,212 posts)How is the GOP able to keep this law-breaking going on for so long?
Was Snow ever charged for breaking his gag order?
Will Gaetz be charged for threatening a witness? Will it cost him his seat?
And this is small stuff compared to what Trump is doing.

(17,984 posts)The Senate had enough votes to over rule the emergency. There will be a vote. Said he warned Trump not to do it.

(31,981 posts)It simply means the DOJ doesn't have any issues with the documents or people being looked at by Congress. That means the DOJ has already looked or talked to them and the DOJ is finished with that part of their investigation. People seem to think Congress has more power to investigate than the DOJ. They don't. They have far less.

(16,906 posts)So we should ALL lay down play dead huh? Just because(RUMPS DOJ) says this? (NO WAY)

Only Representative Nadler signed it.
True Blue American
(17,984 posts)They signed off. Do not think Nadler would go forward without the approval of both of them. They are being very careful not to interfere in the Mueller investigation. Nadler made that clear on Sunday. I heard him ay it.
True Blue American
(17,984 posts)Just proves the 3 are working hand in hand. Nadler is not doing anything that will interfere with the other 2 investigations.
shanny
(6,709 posts)than Mueller's, and many tools available to it, not least a public podium. If we want to get rid of tRump via impeachment or the ballot box Congress needs to build the case against him in front of Dawg and everybody.

(37,748 posts)Does doing so allow you a pretense of cleverness at the expense of others you may not otherwise have?

Ivanka is not on it but jared is. Spicer is on the list, along with the usual suspects corsi, papadopoulos, flynn & flynn jr, etc.
True Blue American
(17,984 posts)Are aware. That means they were consulted. Nadler made it clear they would not interfere in his TV appearances.

(24,396 posts)That way, the Rs can't claim it was all political...though they will...because they're stupid.
DownriverDem
(6,228 posts)the SDNY investigations more than Mueller's. trump can't stop the SDNY investigations either. Mueller is giving them everything which means the evidence will be investigated even if he gets fired. Focus on the SDNY.
