Jared is disposable, Ivanka is a red line

This has been overlooked in all the hoopla about Giuliani’s Stormy Daniels revelations but it may be just as important. Salon’s Matthew Rozsa breaks it down:

“Ivanka Trump? I think I would get on my charger and go right into – run into their offices with a lance if they go after her,” Giuliani told Fox News host Sean Hannity when asked about the possibility that the Mueller team would investigate or even prosecute the president’s eldest daughter.
[…]
In his responses to Hannity’s questions, Guiliani seemed to confirm that Trump would indeed try to turn his supporters against Mueller if he called in his daughter.

“If they do Ivanka, which I doubt they will, the whole country will turn on him. They are going after his daughter?” Giuliani asked Hannity.

What would Trump say differently about Mueller than he’s already saying?

As of March, Ivanka Trump’s unfavorable rating has increased by 10 percentage points, from 33 percent in January 2017 to 43 percent at that time, according to an Economist/YouGov poll. Her favorability rating remained static at 42 percent during that same period.

Similarly, while Jared Kushner’s favorability rating dropped from 25 percent in January 2017 to 22 percent in March 2018, his unfavorability rating soared from 29 percent in January 2017 to 42 percent in March 2018.

Trump brought his baby girl into the White House and gave her a title of Senior White House adviser. He sends her all over the world to represent the country. She’s been involved in a number of controversial events having to do with the Russia probe.

If Trump didn’t want her implicated in his dirty business he should have left her in New York. She is a grown woman and is responsible for hr own actions. The idea that she’s off limits is outrageous.

Meanwhile the ancient weirdo Giuliani screws the pooch again:

While Giuliani might be overestimating the public’s affinity for the president’s daughter, when Hannity asked about Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, Giuliani defended Kushner’s character before making the seemingly chivalrous (but actually chauvinistic) argument that men are more “disposable” than women.

“Jared is a fine man, you know that,” Giuliani told Hannity. “But men are, you know, disposable. A fine woman like Ivanka, come on!”

I guess we know now that Trump doesn’t feel any more loyalty for his son-in-law than he does for his former fixer Michael Cohen. Presumably he figures that the father of his grandchildren won’t turn on him if he throws him to the wolves.

I wonder …

There’s more about Ivanka’s involvement in a number of shady deals
