While defending President Donald Trumps daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump, President Trumps lawyer also took a swipe at her husband, Jared Kushner.
During an interview with Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening, Rudy Giuliani said the whole country would turn on special counsel Robert Mueller if he went after Ivanka Trump as part of his probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. But Kushner? Not so much.

Uh, yeah, Mr. Noun-Verb-9/11, I'm good. I'm not going to raise a pitchfork in defense of Ivanka. I've got better things to do.

(58,785 posts)Who's spreading the idea that this even COULD happen on the left, and why? Besides the GOP, their dark-money masters, rightwing media, and the Kremlin, of course.
I've read in Politico that Mueller is probably staying away from Ivanka as a dont poke the bear until you have to strategy, "trying to interview Ivanka Trump would be like lighting a match to the highly combustible Donald Trump,...
Not because she isn't known to have engaged in criminal behavior in business before 2016 and to have been present, and perhaps actively involved, during events under investigation.

both part of the Trump syndicate and have no special privileges. She's not a child, ffs. She's 36, almost 37. And she's not beloved by all. She's as big a crook as the rest of them and Giuliani is as ridiculous as ever!

(2,009 posts)If Mueller has anything on Princess Ivanka, he's gotta hold those cards until the end. Overtly going after daddy's little girl might trigger his firing, so he'd want to have as much as he can get in the hands of pardon-proof state prosecutors by then.

(4,558 posts)On a side note, I'd read that book when it came out during the Reagan years. As much as I did not like Reagan as president, I never really felt any critical anxiety from the book. It "felt" like fiction that really wasn't terribly plausible. I recently watched the first season on Netflix, and I must admit.. With the current administration, and the way they seem to be headed it really no longer feels all that far-fetched and implausible a possibility.
While watching it and wanting to both cry and scream, I couldn't help but wonder.. just how many 45 supporters watched it and thought to themselves "this is the way 'merika should be!"

(34,467 posts)1) Being non-sexist or feminist means that you do NOT treat women differently from how you would treat men in the same situation. Being a "benevolent" sexist is still being a sexist. And I don't believe for a minute that Giuliani is benevolent. He is just grasping at straws to deflect.
2) #1 means that criticizing Ivanka Trump's bad behavior, or Sarah Huckabee's lying, etc., is NOT sexist, unless you would give a pass to Sean Spicer, etc. I recall Spicer's being criticized (and beautifully mocked on SNL). Therefore, THEY ARE FAIR GAME.
See Professor Samantha Bee's latest show for further explanation.

duforsure
(11,885 posts)And can't be gone after by Mueller is like saying because I'm president my kids are above the law with me. To me these kids involved in the White House if criminals are subjects to the rule of law no matter who they are. Suggesting anything different dt can't be the law and order candidate then if he thinks they are also above the rule of law. If dt is above the rule of law , then he'll make many of the most corrupt people , including his kids, overseeing all the corruption. Like he's trying to do right now with many of his appointments. He's really likes the most corrupt ones, just like Putin did in Russia. The American people if found she has committed crimes will demand she be treated and charged like everyone else would be. Anything else in unjust.
