House Democrats torn over how aggressively to scrutinize Ivanka Trump, president’s other children

By Rachael Bade , Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow Philip Rucker and Philip Rucker White House Bureau Chief Email Bio Follow Josh Dawsey Josh Dawsey Reporter covering the White House Email Bio Follow March 7 at 6:28 PM House Democrats are torn over how aggressively to investigate the intersection of Ivanka Trump’s private financial interests and her service in the White House — an area of inquiry that probably would inflame tensions with President Trump, who has warned...

Presidential children rarely draw the scrutiny of congressional investigators, but Trump’s adult children fill unique roles in his administration, with Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, carrying the title of senior advisers to the president while being heavily involved in policy decisions and Capitol Hill negotiations on criminal justice, the Middle East and paid family leave.

Still, a Democratic aide familiar with the House’s investigative plans said the Ivanka business matter would probably be a focus for investigators at some point. Democrats have questions about whether Trump’s daughter used her official role in the White House to boost her own finances, particularly concerning Chinese trademarks.

“They have to be as accountable as everybody else,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler . “We’ve got to do our job. . . . We are not crossing any lines.” White House officials argue an aggressive inquiry into Trump’s adult children risks backfiring on Democrats and looking like harassment. The spectacle of House Democrats interrogating Donald Trump Jr. or Ivanka Trump in public hearings could prove politically damaging to Democrats, they said.

Time to move on and legislate. Let 2020 elections be the judge.

I agree...adult children are not off limits.$3.2 mil for a job of which you have no experience..?....?

If they actively participate in the regime, they are open for criticism. Leave Baron out of it until he becomes ambassador to The People's Crater of Coca-Cola Formerly Known As Barcelona, drag the hell out of Don Jr and Ivanka.

Like Father, Like Daughter, Like Son in law. So young, and rotten to the core! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I wonder what Ivanka's kids are growing up to be. Can;t be good!

artytrace If they're not sure - I'd be happy to give it a go!

artytrace I think the trump spawn deserve scrutiny at the level of electron microscopy.

I wonder what it means that I read 'scrutinize' as 'euthanize', for a split second.

She gets scrutinised as closely as anyone else. The only thing I would say, is like her Dad, I'd leave her to the end before I open the case to the public.

They should scrutinize with exactly the same aggression they'd apply to anyone else in the same government position who wasn't related to the President. They are adults who voluntarily took senior positions in the administration, they do not get to cry 'Daddy' as an out.

They are NOT the President's children. They are senior advisors in the administration and in the campaign. Nepotism has its downsides.

They’re not sitting at home playing canasta FFS. They have security clearance. They are senior advisors to the president.

Seriously, WAPO? These people are adults who work in the White House. Who in the hell thought this was a story?

I'm not torn at all... throw the book at them! ALL THE BOOKS!

No, not 'torn' at all, but merely being more polite than the Nazis in charge would ever consider being. Dig deep and expose every bit of their corruption and sickness and never let this country suffer something like this again -- we fought, killed, and won over fascists before.

The law applies to everyone no one is above the law therefore what choice do you have?

How many other president's children have worked as advisers in the White House?

Why is this even a question.

Not true

If Rep. Connolly won’t execute his constitutional oversight responsibilities for fear of how the GOP will frame OversightDems doing what they’re sworn (and elected) to do, he has no business sitting on the Committee.

This shouldn’t be that difficult...handle them like any other WH staff that couldn’t get a security clearance.

Pretty simple, really: Just rephrase “children” to “white house administration employees” & it’ll be clear as a GD bell. 🔔

As criminals working for a transnational Christian based hate group.

She’s 37 years old and has a security clearance.

No one is above the law!

The TraitorTots aren't children.

How and why DNC hey are not children. They are 35+ year old criminals. subpoena them

I would say scrutinized in depth

She was given a position for which she's unqualified because of NEPOTISM.

Not children, spawn.

She’s a White House employee. Should be dealt with as evenly as anyone. Or have they all risen to royal status now? Not in my US. We are paying them a lot for their grueling service, (sarcasm) so go ahead and investigate.

Consider that she has received multiple favorable decisions from foreign countries wrt her personal brands and businesses. Would that have happened if she didn’t work in the WH and have an unjustified TOP SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE!!!!

She is a Presidential Advisor with absolutely no relevant experience in anything other than being rich & privileged. It should be further noted that she has a TOP SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE that her “job” doesn’t justify having. She should be scrutinized to Hell and back.

It's not like they are kids or something. They all have been in a position where they can harm the US, so they all certainly need to be investigated thoroughly.

They are adults not children 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is a weak article. Some Democratic lawmakers are concerned with the timing and the fallout from tRump but all Democrats agree with the investigations. Usually the is better than this.

They are not children. If anything, they are taking advantage of being related to the boss. You think Republicans would hold back if the roles were reversed and Chesea Clinton and her husband were in the White House, with the son in law meeting with Middle Eastern dictators?

How about treating them like any other citizen? I’m sure if we can scrutinize Malia drinking wine we can scrutinize Trump’s kids have national security clearances when intel agencies refuse to sign off on them.

The privilege of the children of rich white men is exasperating.

Man, who do you think you kidnapped? ChelseaClinton ?

As aggressively as you would anyone who is not a child? She’s an adult, she’s a senior policy advisor and she has a security clearance. Her relationship with the president shouldn’t protect her from scrutiny.

That’s just stupid!🙄🤦‍♀️They are adults who have been engaging in criminal behavior for years. Go Get Em😡

Why should she be spared scrutiny? Because she’s a woman? She is her fathers daughter!

Do they work in this administration DNC scrutinize away.

AGGRESSIVELY AS H--L! BLOODY EVERY ONE OF YOUR FINGERS FROM TURNING OVER EVERY ROCK!

Considering they're part of the administration, all but Barron are complicit.

They are not children. They are adults. Responsible for the consequences of their choices.

to scrutinize Ivanka Trump, Don Jr., Eric Trump Unless they're looking into Barron, which i highly doubt, they're not looking into ANY children. Stop calling full grown adults children. If you consider them to be children, they have no business in the WH in the first place.

She’s a grown-ass woman. Treat her any other adult that works in the White House.

Why would HouseDemocrats struggle over this? If Trump doesn’t want his kids under congressional scrutiny he should t have appointed them to WhiteHouse positions or employed them in his campaign, or pretended to turn his businesses over to them. RepJerryNadler

***adults that dodged security with nepotism badges. Corrected that for you.

Why be torn? Scrutinize to the max degree! If guilty, LOCK THEM UP to the maximum sentence allowed by law! No one is above the law, right? Uh, right? Hello out there. Right?

Get some guts and do your job.

'lock her up'

This is a no brainer, guys.

What's to be torn over? Turn over every rock, tree and Chinese sweatshop until we know exactly how she's profited from whispering into her father's ear. testify

Here... I will solve this. Did he give them responsibility in his campaign, his companies or the WH? Yes? Ok... proceed to scrutinize.

Why not impeach the president.?

And they play right into the narrative that she deserves special treatment, and she doesn't. Take it to her. If there's too much heat, she can leave the fucking kitchen. She's hanging around because it's making her insanely rich to do so.

Torn? Torn? TORN? Puleeeze.

Answer: JUST LIKE YOU WOULD ANY OTHER LYING CRIMINAL FFS!!

Start with a proctologist and go from there. 'Children,' huh? Gimme a break.

There are people who are grandparents at their ages. Stop calling them “children”. TrumpCrimeFamily KushnerCrimeFamily TREASON

They Are NOT Children! Adult CRIMINALS!!!TheDemCoalition DNC Do Your Job! It Is Called...Being Aggressive!!!

They are adults taking $ from the public they should be held accountable the same as any other ADULT

Go after her! She’s as disgusting as her father but in a prettier package

So it's totally cool to pearl-clutch over almost-21-year-old Malia Obama having a glass of wine, but god forbid this 40-year-old hag who's actively harming the country face any criticism, right? She's a grown-ass woman.

No, no no. Dems scrutinize with precision and purpose. If there's something there-they will find it. Dems are not 'torn'. This is not some 2nd rate romance novel. What's next? Heaving bosoms?

*Adults

Get the fine tooth comb out! Pour over each and every detail.

We will primary Democrats who don’t investigate the TrumpKids

Puhleease. Stop tiptoeing around the ADULT, MIDDLE AGED children.

Don’t look at their last name look at them as people and what their actions, follow the evidence, forget the last name. Do what is right by the law We are a country built on laws

Daaaaammmn . . . That is a really old child

LOCK HER UP!!!

Most MAGAs hate them too so we shouldn't worry.

As usual, the Democrats are too soft.

Put her through the ringer! You would anyone else 🤷‍♀️🤨🤔

The 35yr old children

Simply solved, I bet if it were your kids they would not hesitate to prosecute to the full extent of the law. We have a criminal and his criminal kids doing criminal things.

Her fake campaign was just earmarked to receive $100 million by her sugar daddy. So, maybe it's too late. She will use the money to promote her ambitions.

Just do the right thing. Close the door on the children issue!

They 👏🏼 are👏🏼not👏🏼 children!!! Can’t stand the heat, get out of the White House...

They're fvcking adults over 35

Torn? As in country torn in half, torn. IvankaTrump deserves the maximum for lying to American$ for profit.

Can we please stop calling them his “children”? The proper word is “spawn.”

Ivanka is an adult. She is not a child. Adults who commit crimes to to prison.

No one is above the law, period. I'm sure if it was me they wouldn't hesitate to do everything in their power to get answers. It is time for all of them to grow up & stop treating the Trumps & the rich with kid gloves. We have laws they just have to enforce them.

STOP treating her like some kind of princess! She is NOT a sweet, thoughtful, considerate person! All those pics of her & and her daddy that ppl say are ‘inappropriate’!?! She’s not innocent! She had his number at a very young age and knows how to manipulate him! Sicko

When he appointed them to governmental positions, they were opened to scrutiny as such. Nothing to do with family. DNC HouseDemocrats OversightDems HouseJudiciary

The same way you would scrutinize any criminal govt employee. Duh!

Family of LIARS.

Ivanka and Jared are just here to steal stuff and sell it to China and Saudi Arabia. OTW, they are totally staying out of the way. Dems need to stop making it such a big deal!

Wow. Wealthy, white, beautiful con artists get a pass? No. Go after her HouseDemocrats

I call bullshit.

You could start off first by acknowledging they are GROWNUPS. ADULTS. They are NOT CHILDREN. They've been adults for quite some time now.

Just pretend she’s Ilhan

What the hell is this?

Fun fact: they are adults, responsible for their own actions, who chose to be involved in this administration.

Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Jr. are all old enough to run for president. Donald Jr. has raised the horrible prospect of running. Of course they need to be scrutinized!

They are adults not children. Scrutinize to the max. Simple

I would very much like to see Mrs.Kushner speak during at least one public hearing on Capitol Hill. Bonus points of it's 11 hours or longer.

Yes hi I’ve seen endless coverage of Malia Obama drinking wine so take the gloves off for the 37 year old White House employee

There is nothing to be torn over go after her like any other White House staff member seriously you want our votes and support then do your damn job dems or we will elect others who will that simple HouseDemocrats

Well, this is insane HouseDemocrats. GOP would not hesitate! Get a spine. Be fierce. Do what MUST be done: Investigate. You have the juice! SpeakerPelosi RepJeffries RepAdamSchiff RepCummings RepJerryNadler RepMaxineWaters MarkWarner

Just because you say they are torn doesn’t mean they’re *actually* torn. They probably don’t even think about her at all.

When they are adults and involved in their father's misdeeds, the answer is: Very aggressively.

Why would there be any question? These “children” are adults who knew the full scope of what they were doing.

Like the crook she is? TrumpCrimeFamily ivanka JaredKushner LockThemAllUp

JFC , HouseDemocrats, & SenateDems stop calling them children! They are adults who are engaging and/or have engaged in criminal activity while WORKING as advisors to potus; in other words, they work for US citizens. Scrutinize away!

They are members of this administration. Trump put them in that position. They should get No special treatment.

Let me simplify. Barron - no. Any other Trump - yes. Done.

Aggressively

Why?

Subpoena Ivanka and Jared they are Not Above The Law!!

Come on , don't start this shit. IvankaTrump has three kids - she is an adult. She is on this position because of nepotism, she is corrupt AF like her father and husband, she is still making a lot of business. Go and get her - JUSTICE!!! TRUMP

pgmckim Too much Talk how much longer is this going to go on for?

Why? She's a grown woman. Her position merits the same level of scrutiny as everyone else.

Very aggressively, please. They work for me, allegedly. And, come to think of it, so do y’all.

I say storm the castle .. I mean the White House, leaving no stone unturned! ✊🏽

Move on them like Trump moves in women.

Start with how Jimmy Carter gave up his farm. How he didn't allow Billy to have an 'unpaid job' to circumvent laws prohibiting such things. The Trumpkids had to contort into pretzels just to get in the building without breaking the law (failing hard on security) it's a big tell.

'House Democrats torn over how aggressively to scrutinize Ivanka Trump, president’s GROWN UP SONS and DAUGHTER or ADULT SONS and DAUGHTER', there, better described. YW.

She’s 37..

41, 37 and 35 is not consider children.

Actual children - a 7 and 8 year old - DIED at the hands of this elected king's draconian lack of mercy. But these elitist 30 something dilettantes should get a pass because their daddy is a powerful and vengeful man? Cowards, all of them.

Treat her like you would any normal US citizen involved in such crimes, FFS...

Ivanka, Eric and Dum-Dum Jr. are grown adults who are willing participants in their father’s administration. Not sure what there is to be “torn” over.

She is an adult. She deliberately made herself a part of her father's administration in order to help her own business(es) out & to meddle in anything she chose to despite the fact that she has ZERO qualifications to be in the WH. Treat her like what she is: a liar & grifter.

Very aggressive!!! And that goes for Jared also ... the “JIVANKA” nepotism has to stop ... seriously how great is our security compromised because of these two? Unfortunately we likely don’t know ... stopthenepotism respectourintelligencecommunity

All but Tiffany and Barron should be in the cross hairs of an investigation. If they are interested in being in the drumpf criminal empire, then they need to be punished.

They are adults. They are complicit. They are very likely criminals. No free pass.

The only tear is the one in my eye, poor vanky the first female president

Whatever happened to elections having consequences?

She’s an employee in our White House. This isn’t complicated.

That's dumb. They're criminals. Indict them.

Get un-torn. Ivanka is main boss level. Set aggression to 200%

Lock Her Up! Let Trump have a taste of his own medicine.

THEY👏AREN'T👏CHILDREN👏

RepAdamSchiff do not be torn. We have your back. Our national security is at risk.

Children?

“Torn”. More bs from WAPO

Just pretend Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric are poor people with questionable behaviors, associates, and finances, and then act accordingly. Who their father is shouldn't make one bit of difference. andJusticeForAll

Hopefully, Dem Oversight won't be needed if the kids are indicted by SDNY. Just indict already. We've been watching this corruption unfold in slow-motion. Why wait? cc: NewYorkStateAG

She’s complicit. Scrutinize away!

that she did not EARN. fuck that. she would be washing the same pair of panties in the bathroom washbasin if not for hitting the gene lottery. she is only there because... da... daaaaa... daaaaaaaaaaaaddy *cough* loves her. DO YOUR JOB

They’re adults who are key presidential advisers who are being used as envoys to other countries. They don’t get the “president’s kids” pass.

.HouseDemocrats Don’t let the pretty packaging fool you! She’s just as greedy, corrupt, & dishonest as her father - she just tells her lies while smiling. She knows ALL of daddy’s secrets & has some of her own!

They are adults, it's not like we are talking about teens, they made decisions and probably was ok'd by daddy dearest. Fuck em, investigate them as harshly as you would a black man sitting at home being killed.

Lmao what a joke.

Rich people with government clearance and positions are 'children'? Are you saying rich people are developmentally delayed?

She's fair game. I could see a arguement if she wasn't involved in his polices and stayed out of it. She's a advisor to him with a security clearance. She's fair game for criticism. Especially when she goes on tv and lies. If don jr makes comments in public he is fair game also.

They are grown adults perverting our democracy by selling the White House for profit. And maybe State secrets at the same time. They should ALL be scrutinized. Start with IvankaTrump buying Chinese patents for voting machine, FFS.

She's IN the government, IN a position, Involved in policy and decision making. Also know that the majority of Americans don't agree with her being there. No credentials, no education ( to advise a POTUS ) and no experience sends a very UnAmerican message.

Why are they torn? It’s pretty simple. His children, Barron & Tiffany should be off limits. But children/family members who officially work in the WH & children who insert themselves in the political process or assist in driving policy, are fair game.

ADULTS, not children.

HouseDemocrats If you are, in any way, failing to fulfill your duty of protecting our Constitution and our laws, GET THE FUCK OUT OF OFFICE - NOW!! CC: dccc SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff

88SEATTLE61 They are grown. They are being paid by us... they are fair game if they are committing crimes.

AKA spawn

Aggressively with subpoenas.

Follow wherever the evidence leads.

We have to look at them all, too much family & unqualified cabinet members DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!!!

Well, if they're really torn, I'll tell them how it is. I am not torn at ALL. And if they were children, I would hope to god they wouldn't have offices and security clearances.

WHY is ivanka off limits? If anything, she is MORE corrupt than Jr.

Stop with the word children! They are grown adults and they want to play in the big leagues then they deserve to be punished accordingly! They throw the word children around as if they are still in the nursery! Creepy!

You’re joking right? His adult children are all complicit, we should treat them as potential accomplices and suspects.

The freshmen House Representatives will know how to handle her.

These are adults who think they’re qualified to negotiate & speak on behalf of the United States. They have the highest security clearances & access to US intell. There is no question they should be scrutinized. Is anyone really torn or is this just hype?

If a 15 year old can be tried as an adult, an advisor to the president can be treated like an adult.

Says who? She's a swindler and a hardened criminal.

Scorched earth on all that is trump

One. She is not a child, she has a Office in the West Wing. She works for us as well as Trump and she lies like Trump. She has nothing worthwhile to do or say.

She should retire from her 'job' in this administration, and maybe she wouldn't be scrutinized.

There’s a simple solution here. What would Republicans do if they controlled the House, and the Trump crime family were Democrats. You know the answer. That’s what the Dems should be doing. lockherup

Aggressively. Like rabid dog aggressively. Don’t fool yourself into thinking the grand obstructionist party wouldn’t do it if the tables were turned. Bring all of the criminal activity into the light. They’ve been hiding long enough.

Subpoena enema sounds good to me.

It all depends on how vigorously they plan to defend the constitution. They should be like honey badgers after a hive.

She is NOT Cinderella. She’s an effing thug in heels.

It seems if Dems don’t scrutinize Ivanka et al like they would any other adults working with the POTUS, that would suggest nepotism was at play. Is it?

She is employed by the WH. Scrutinize the sh*t out of her.

Is there another word instead of children? She 37 for Christ sakes, makes it sound like everyone’s picking on a kid. You know, like the ones Trump puts in cages.

Not children. Adults, with adult consequences for criminal activity.

They are grown ass adults who have children of their own. She is not a fragile Princess. She has been busy with trademarks and trying to save her business so she is up to answer a few questions.

What would they do if the country was facing a clear and present danger? Just do that.

Democrats need to step up and get real. As a Democrat voter, I am so sick of the waffling and kid gloves. There is no reason for it, AT ALL—in fact, lives are at risk—and it makes Democrats look weak and foolish.

They’re adults. I don’t give a crap about their feelings. Indict them.

The Trump family lost its rights to be ignored as ‘children’ of a President when they engaged in Nepotism, Hatch Act Violations, Emoluments Violations, self dealing & general venality. TrumpFamilyCorruption

I don't think they're that 'torn'.

They are not children. They are adults. And they are willingly participating in politics or they are on the federal payroll.

I say go for broke. She is not an innocent in any of this nor is her husband or brothers. We are tired of half truths and lies. The American citizens are tired.

Adult Children.

Let the dirt be revealed first. Let it sink into the public. Then gloves off.

allow me to simplify. any democrat who STILL has no balls after whats gone on and would even entertain such a debate deserves to be eaten alive by AOC and the base. thank you.

They need to get over it and do their jobs

Like any other Trump appointee.

Get out the fine tooth comb because NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

Just like they do when bringing down mob family's... leave the children to continue the criminal enterprise

My mom is still living. She’s 80. Does this mean I won’t be charged as an adult if I commit a crime?

Why are they torn? They should ask themselves what would the GOP do if she was Obama's daughter, then do that!

Perhaps they could be referred to as offspring - after all, they are adults.

I can't fucken believe what I'm reading!

Open season on Ivanka. Baron is off limits. Well... that was easy.

The same as you would any Senior White House Advisor 😐

She’s a grown-ass woman.

Gedder done. The sooner, the better, and as deep as possible.

Treat her and her sibs as the GOP would have treated Obama's kids if they were adults! They wouldve rip them to pieces...figuratively. And yall know that's true!

When you go after mobsters, you would of course go after their adult children if they are part of the criminal enterprise. No exception should be made here.

So let’s see: Trayvon Martin wasn’t a child. Nor was Mike Brown. Nor was Stephon Clark. Nor are the thousands of black and Latino kids torn from their mothers and locked up for misdemeanours. Yet grown, fraudulent criminals are...errr...KIDS?! Ok then! 🙄🙄

Isn’t that the way they say it goes? The handbasket-to-Hell is about to reach its destination and the Democrats are concerned about upsetting Donald and his brood.

Uh, the same way any other adult working for the US government with security clearance is scrutinized. No brainer.

This is ridiculous. They aren't children. They are over 30 with their own kids and they work IN THIS ADMINISTRATION. HouseDemocrats get your head outta your ass.

What? She & Crooked Jared are part of the administration and should be treated like any other Govt offical who's potentially breaking the law! This is NOT going after a member of the Presidents family, this is making sure Govt employees respect out laws! TrumpCrimeFamily

Burn them in hell. That’s kinda what I’m thinking.

They are not CHILDREN. They are government officials and campaign officials. In the case of Ivanka, she works for us - as a WH senior advisor - and she is accountable to us. What is there to be torn about?

For heaven's sake, the Trump family gave up any consideration for kid gloves one they became a crime syndicate in the WH.

AllHallowsEve31 They are not private citizens. They have put themselves in the limelight as spokespeople for their father! They are fair game!!

She’s an adult in the administration. Scrutinize her. Don’t scrutinize Barron. This isn’t hard.

She’s not a child. None of them are. They should face the same scrutiny..

Using the word 'children' has a nuance that makes it seem wrong. It's not, and they're not. They're all adults, with jobs. Jobs in some cases which involve them attacking people or organisations that speak up against POTUS. They have undue clearances, influence and media access.

Suggest “stress positions” would be a good start.

No. Quarter. Given.

She’s a WH employee.

Go HAM on everyone in this criminal organization.

No we aren’t If they work in the White House the deserve full scrutiny.

No mercy for these criminals. Period.

Be prepared, she's gonna get pregnant to up the ante on public sentiment. There is NO lowest point with TrumpFamilyCrimeSyndicate

That's total bullshit. Anyone who is a government employee should be under scrutiny regardless of what their last name is.

Perhaps equal to her crimes? HouseDemocrats LockHerUp

Only appropriate way is to scrutinize with vigor!

Why should SHE also be able to shoot someone on 5th Ave. without repercussions?

Why are they torn? This makes no logical sense at all. She is a federal employee it’s their job to scrutinize her.

Shes not a child, shes a senior white house official.

When u play stupid games u win stupid prizes....

They aren't children...they are adults who dove into nepotism freely. They are open to the same kind of scrutiny as any advisor given sec clearance and a portfolio to conduct foreign 'policy'. Investigate and try them. And, if need be, imprison them.

I love hope every comment thread here is 'they're not kids but also all these other objective reasons to investigate the he'll outta them' lol. It's wonderful that most folks see what's up. Your turn, TheDemocrats. -R

Why? Because she is a white woman?

As relentlessly as Rs would.

They are not children.

Ridiculous. They are all criminals so treat them as such Trumpcrimefamily

dancindoti Go after them! They never have warranted special treatment.

Treat her like you treat any of the rest of the citizens of the United States. No more no less

Why? She is no longer just the president's daughter. She works for us 'We the people'. If she can't and won't come before House Dems . She needs to leave the WH immediately!

DO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES OR BE VOTED OUT ALL OF U GROSS MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS OF OUR US CONSTITUTIONIMPEACHMENT STAT

37 years (October 30, 1981) Ivanka Trump 41 years (December 31, 1977) Donald Trump Jr.

They’re intimately involved in White House activity and the Trump Org. Answer: closely.

Why she's in her late 30's installed with Republicans asleep at the wheel or right out corrupt. It was IndictChaffetz and GowdyRedacted at House Oversight, they had 1 goal, get Clinton. Republicans have nothing to offer! So they smear. 🖕🐘

They are all three criminal con people and grifters. They are complicit in conspiracy against the United States. They are middle aged.

If she were an adviser in any other Administration in any other time in history, would they even be asking this question? This is ridiculous. It's either she's a presidential adviser or she is the daughter of the president she can't be both.

Do it aggressively. She is no less guilty than her father, brothers, and husband.

The have already benefitted from nepotism from their father, don’t suspend the rule of law for them, too!

Stop calling those 40 year old or darn near 40 year old ADULTS - children. Baron is the only child, the rest are Donald's adult offspring or GROWN kids. is part of the problem. SpeakerPelosi RepCummings AdamSchiff JerryNadler be tough on those criminals.

Trump's 'kids' are 35 and up. However they are not brain surgeons. Ivanka needed extreme prep time for a short puff interview on GMA. Congressional hearings, where their statements would be scrutinized, would be their kryptonite. MuellerReport

Democrats want to lock children in cages!

THEY ARE NOT CHILDREN THEY ARE TRAITORS THEY ARE NOT THE 'president's' CHILDREN THEY ARE MOBSTERS THEY ARE MOBSTERS LIKE THEIR DAD MARK BURNETT TURNED A TURD INTO A TORPEDO AIMED AT USA CONSTITUTION

They're not children anymore. They crossed over that threshold a long time ago. They're adults now and should be treated just any other adult is treated.

Long overdue.

Tell them not to be. Ask them how the almost unrecognisable GOP would behave

Shouldn’t be torn, she is an adult working in the Whitehouse lining her own pockets.

Treat plastic Barbie like every other corrupt criminal would be treated.

Go after them all.

HouseDemocrats scrutinize! They’re not the president and if they’re doing illegal shady crap, then it’s free game

The Republican’s haven’t hesitated to do everything in their power to destroy American democracy for the last 40 years. I understand the concern about timing, but Trump’s Jared and Ivanka are government employees, and are not exempt from scrutiny.

This isn’t difficult. Equality. Subpoena. Go.

Torn about how Ivanka should be subpoenaed, investigated, and possibly indicted! If this were ChelseaClinton and Republicans still had the House majority, they wouldn’t be torn about anything! They would be chanting “Lock Her Up!” like they did with HRC!

investigate

They should be treated like all White House employees, they wanted those jobs we didn’t want them in those jobs

She’s an advisor! Has already been implicated as shady via the Trump .Org. No reason to assume she follows the law given who her mentor has been from day 1. CREWcrew OfficeGovEthics Protecting America is 1 priority...not protecting his kids.

House Democrats are still too weak.

do it. it's the law.

only 1 of his offspring is a child the rest are adults

Enough of their reticence ...Indict them. They are the spawn of the devil and know exactly what they are doing. Laughing alll the way to the bank, for now

As in 'Children of Presidents should be off limits'? To compare someone who is an advisor to the president, who influences, and creates policy, to children or teens in the White House is absurd...

Pretend they're Chelsea Clinton or Malia or Sasha Obama. Republicans have no problem criticizing them for far far far less.

Nepotism should NOT be a shield! wtf?

she's a staff member. They should treat her like every other staff member.

Why? Senior WH aides need to be scrutinized!!

Why would they consider treating them differently than any other adult? They deserve no special treatment.

Why? They work at the White House?

As hard as you would any other ADULT thats screwing over America. They are NOT children. Stop referring to them like they are.

ADULT children.

Spawn. The word you’re looking for is spawn.

😨'Golly, how should we scrutinize them?!' 🤔'I dunno. Like, um, ANYONE ELSE who potentially committed a vast number of crimes and has been ransacking the United States in plain sight?'

Ummm. Ivanka works for him. Duh 🙄

INDICTTHEMOTHERFUCKER

She's an adult and she's a high ranking government employee. Scrutinize her exactly the same as anyone else who shows every sign of being utterly corrupt.

Indictment and arrest would be good practice.

What is infuriating is that the Post is using suspect, biased, Republican sources to support the idea that there is some rift in the Democratic Party over the investigation of criminal activity in the White House.

Chris_09765 Why?

Investigate away. These criminals deserve no breaks. They accepted these positions with the intent of personally benefiting from them.

They should be scrutinized as aggressively as anyone working in the highest levels of our government and constantly breaking the law and lying about it would be. If it's not too much trouble. Thanks.

The 3 of them lost the privacy right once they each opened their mouths.

They are not 'children'. They are adults who have made their own decisions and need to be held responsible for their actions. This isn't Barron, it's full grown adults who have committed crimes.

Oferdachrissakes, torn over WHAT? These grifters are NOT CHILDREN!

If they have a role in this admin they are fair game. Why can't you go after Ivanka's corrupytion? Duh. Leave the actual children ( Barron ) out of it.

Only one of his spawns should be hands off and that would be his youngest anchor baby Barron. If the ADULT spawns are old enough to be cleared to work in that wh, then they are old enough to be scrutinized to the fullest and be 100% ACCOUNTABLE for their actions!!

Seriously SpeakerPelosi? This shouldn’t even be a question.

When realDonaldTrump is comfortable with nepotism (and so are the GOP) that invites scrutiny of his (adult) 'children'

Why? This is ridiculous.

Vigorously, that’s how. In this context they’re not children, but senior presidential advisers. Treat them that way.

They're adults...

As adults, they chose to gain money and power by criminal acts. Investigation is needed.

tazarae20 They are grown ass adults that think they’re untouchable. They are his spawns not children. They chose profit and self interest over their country and should be held accountable. Found guilty, funds should be confiscated to help pay off deficit and support programs for country.

i cant take anymore of the democrats hand-wringing. its exhausting and disheartening

tazarae20 Last time I checked America wasn't being ruled by a Monarchy. Nepotism Ken and Barbie are unqualified adults and should be treated like every other employee. Ivanka is Imelda Marcos masquerading as Florence Nightingale.

You mean adults?

Why is this even a question?

tazarae20 Did they really use to burn witches ?

Another baseless search by the Democrats to try and destroy our president. And now family. If the Dems do this, I hope they are legally persecuted. The Democrats are destroying their own party.

The only “child” is Barron. The rest are grown, grifting adults🙄

LOCKTHEMUP

Democrats should be screaming, “Nepotism”. The GOP would be if the reverse was happening.

She’s a middle aged woman working in the WH. You don’t want to get scrutinized? Don’t ignore nepotism and surround yourself with family in a gov’t job like a two bit dictator

Children are prosecuted as adults everyday, these Adults should not have special treatment.

They are not children! They are adults who know right from wrong. Don't try and minimize them by calling them children. They should be prosecuted like any criminal.

Jesus, Dems just *live* in a defensive crouch, don't they?

they are GROWN. older than me. this shouldn’t even be a question

It's not complicated. The GOP may be comfortable with impropriety, but we did not elect a Democratic House for them to be cautious in pursuing this bc it's Trumps children. Wrong is wrong. Treat it like you would any other staffer with invalid security clearance. Do. Your. Job.

IvankaTrump works in the WhiteHouse which is funded by TaxPayers that’s it

Like the criminals they are, HouseDemocrats. It's not difficult

Expose the wrong doings, nepotism, llies, and financial hanky pankies. Don't be lame, his 35% will never vote for you.

They are adults and made the decision to be criminals so should be treated as same.

They should be scrutinized more since they are his family, and got the jobs even either the nepotism rule. They're robbing our country. Scrutinize away!

HouseDemocrats shouldn’t need any discussion, as to whether to investigate IvankaTrump she has committed criminal acts, & lied to Congress. Her and her husband should be investigated and charged if any evidence implicated them.

This is not hard!!! If she works in the Whitehouse, and did something wrong, treat her like everyone else! She’s a grown a$$ woman!!

Why is this a question? She's not just a 'daughter' anymore. She's an employee of the United States. KamalaHarris CoryBooker ewarren SenGillibrand SenSanders

Oh for the love of all that is holy, they all get treated equally. Stop with the poor little girl syndrome. She’s an adult. THEY’RE ALL ADULTS!!

They’re not children.

Why? Are they gonna piss off his base? Who gives a shit. Those people are unreachable. I have a tip- stop calling her his daughter, and treat her like the compromised security threat that she is. Grow a pair. Ffs. ENOUGH!!

How aggressively? How about VERY. They're adults who've committed crimes alongside the POTUS. Go after that shit like a dog goes after peanut butter. It's your job too, so there's that.

THEY AREN'T CHILDREN. They are grown ass adults living a stupidly privileged life! The rest of us have consequences so do you!

If they go after the Senior Advisory to the President, it’s fair game.

The fact that this is even a question is exactly why a President’s children should not be allowed to serve in his/her administration. They are not above the law.

They’re not children. They’re accomplices.

You haven't been listening. They have said they Trump spawn aren't off limits. I'm paraphrasing.

They are over-privileged, under qualified, adults who have security clearance they don’t deserve. Grill the motherfuckers.

Here’s an idea...if they broke the law, indict them

Here we go. Typical hand wringing from the spineless centralists. Grow a pair or be replaced. The last election should have taught the Dems something. These are not “children” and shouldn’t be above the law. Christ sakes.

We ain’t seen nothing yet like the Obstruction of Justice that will happen if Ivanka is under investigation.

She is 27, a criminal and a white house employee. Go all in.

WHY?! Nepotism at its finest. She deserves the scrutiny

Stop thinking of them as 'children' but rather as corrupt and treasonous White House advisors and part of the crime family. Why on earth should they be exempt just because their name is Trump? More reason to look at them. Add Kushner, too. He's really bad.

Why would they give her MORE special treatment? Enough with the BS. Treat her like any other person.

She's an adult woman and senior advisor to the president- that earns scrutiny by fact of position. The only thing her being trump's daughter is relevant to is the fraudulent way she acquired security clearance for herself and her shady husband

HouseDemocrats The same way you would scrutinize ANY OTHER Criminal. Ivanka is a criminal. Doing Crimey stuff. As is her treasonous husband - you know, all the money laundering & secret selling to Saudi f’k Arabia. TrumpFamilyOfGrifters

That’s bs! They are part of this banana republic government. They must respond for their actions, publicly. What’s to be torn about?

StupidWatergate ReallyStupidWhitehouse

Torn? Really? One Dem just said the optics don't work, but didn't reject investigating them, and all the rest who were quoted agreed with Pelosi. Where is this 'reluctance' you speak of, other than on the GOP side?

No one is above the law...

How is this a question? They're adults. They're complicit. They have security clearances they shouldn't have and are very likely colluding with hostile governments for personal profit.

Torn about what exactly? They’re criminals. Arrest The Mother Fuqers!

Why She’s no different then anyone else.

They have been entitled from day 1. Treat them like the citizens that they should be, and yet, are not. Prosecute them. Jail them.

Psssssst rachaelmbade PhilipRucker jdawsey1: MafiaLeech-Don-TraitorTrump = same age as BernieSanders Nepotism Barbie IvankaTrump is almost 40 Years Old...in between GretaThunberg & JaneGoodallInst Listen to gaslitnation AndreaChalupa sarahkendzior AND TRY AGAIN

They chose to work for the government so they are fair game.

The...the adult who is heavily involved in his business and political dealings and who a ts as the unofficial first lady? ...yeah it's a mystery why she's under such scrutiny

They are not children. FFS

While ivanka sold us out to China so she can do more business there so she can pay the workers in China $62 a month for working 50+ hours a week. There should be no question on how to investigate the deals her and her hubby has made since her daddy was put in office by putin.

Perhaps there's some recent history of how aggressively Congress might scrutinize a woman with a high security clearance that they could use for reference.

They should treat them like the adults they are.

They are adults who made the decisions to follow daddy on his illegal acts and lie about it. They should be questioned, tried and if guilty, convicted like anyone else.

They're adults. Nail them to the fucking wall.

no doubt not immune to investigation but that goes two ways. many are reluctant to proceed forward because it lifts more veils and covert means to pass along dirty deeds using family as henchmen for either party. investigations are political angles rather than going for truth

Why? She's a middle aged adult who has a high level position of power in the WH, not to mention her husband w/ his questionable security clearance.

granny1543 Go after them with everything you've got. They are corruptly feeding at the public trough.

THESE ARE NOT CHILDREN FFS. They are adult grifters who deserve the punishment any grown person deserves when they break the law.

I’m afraid to even read this article because the question itself incites my fury at the Democrats. These are adults participating in a family run criminal enterprise. They have corrupted our democracy and exploited its highest offices to line their pockets.

She is a grown ass women who knows what she is doing. If she helped her father commit crimes then go after her. She is not an innocent child.

So any adult child, regardless of criminal offenses, should not be investigated or that only applies to whites, or only applies to those who are from wealthy families or only applies if the father commits crimes (which then it is considered inherited and so the child is helpless?

What They are apparently members of the White House team and subject to the same consideration and scrutiny as everyone else. What is wrong Democrats ? I know RepAdamSchiff tedlieu and others will do what is required for the sake of the country.

What bunch of crap from this whole line of tweets.

Why don't you treat her as you would a Black or Brown person. They had no confusion when they tried to censure Ilhan Omar for telling the truth about Israel but when it comes to a white woman from a criminal enterprise family, they're torn? Is she above the law?

HouseDemocrats SenateDems go at them as hard as the GOP went after every single Democratic President for centuries, including Clinton and Obama. 'All is fair in love and war.'

They are White House employees. They work for us.

If they are children, why do they have security clearances? They are adults, not children.

Why is she getting trademarks from foreign countries if Donald says America first? Receiving something of value for a government worker is not right. She must resign NOW!

👏🏻They aren’t children 👏🏻

She's a grown up paid adviser to the President. She's not a little girl who needs to be sheltered from the 'mean' Democrats. They should go after her as aggressively as they need to. She's fair game.

Is it just me or is that sentence poorly written 🤔

The TrumpCrimeFamily must be removed.

As a private citizen, I demand to know what the threshold is for me to commit federal fraud, theft, and collusion before I’m subject to legal action. If the Trump grifters have a threshold, then it damn well applies to me. equal f*ing rights.

ADULTS who choose to break laws.

Scrutinize. Ivanka is on the public payroll. She needs to be checked just as any other POTUS appointment is. If I’m paying her salary (as a taxpayer) then I want to be sure is above board.

Children? Gosh...they are parents of children. Ridiculous!

aurarivera11171 If anyone thinks the two boys are anything more than hair gel and brown lipstick, well.... Ivanka is working for the government, so oversight is in play. The boys will go to jail for other crimes or just live the shattered lives that will be.

It’s because they are garbage people

She is on the payroll. They all deserve extreme scrutiny.

MissesBun Bullshit.

She's two years younger than French president macron... she's not a child

Scrutinize HER & Jared as any other advisors would be Scrutinize brothers as any other liars would be This is why there are nepotism rules

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

When someone applies for a security clearance they are requesting scrutiny and affirming that nothing compromising will be found. It's all on them. This is a made up issue.

A 'child' playing with 100 million of our tax dollars.

Adults. They are adults. WTF?

We see black teenagers as adults, but not 37 year old white women?

One is in the employ of the White House, and the other two represent their namesake corporation. They are to be put under the microscope and held accountable for their actions.

They’re grown adults...

HouseDemocrats THEYRE NOT CHILDREN.

TrumpCrimeFamily

SharonJ44257163 Why is the House torn? They are the spawn of the devil. Pursue them with zeal. Throw everything into the pot and be relentless. This is war against an immoral president and we need to wage it until an acceptable outcome is achieved. Trump himself would do no less to any of us.

PINHEAD IS EQUALLY GUILTY!!!!! SHE IS AN 'ADULT'. SHE'S GREEDY. SHE'S MARRIED TO THE ANTI-CHRIST AND HER CRIMINAL FATHER IS HER 'MENTOR'. Stop pandering to the moronic!!!! SenateDems You'll lose EVERYONE that way.

Just unbelievable. Further shows it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you vote on. You're all a bunch of power hungry, sycophantic system maintainers. Whatever keeps the rich and powerful rich and powerful is all of your end goals.

If IvankaTrump is big and brave enough to hold her White House position she is a big enough girl to withstand ANY amount of scrutiny. The fact she is POTUS daughter should NOT be a factor; HE is the one who put her there.

Please.

Not only are they adults, but they hold office in the white house and have security clearances. tRump himself places them there because he truly believes he is not just president, but king. No one stopped him. They are fair game.

Waste no time. Spare no dime. Investigate all aggressively.

Headline fix: herding cats is still impossible

She's not a child, but just like daddy, she's also a con artist and a criminal.

I am tired of Democrats bending over.

House Democrats should without reservation leave Donald’s CHILD (Baron) out of everything. But seeing as he doesn’t have any other “children” I say we scrutinize Ivanka as if she is a government employee (cuz that’s what she is).

They should always scrutinize the WH. Maybe don't have family work there, if you don't want Congress to do oversight on them! It's literally their job to look!

janet_yackle Why? They are making decisions in an official capacity. Investigate, interrogate and then indict them all!

They are grown ass men and women, not children.

She’s not a child and she holds a position in the White House. Fair game.

She's a 37-year old, White House senior staff (alleged) billionaire heiress. She's also married to the guy who's job is to fix the world. She's not a child.

She just got a patent on voting machines in china... not exactly a child. She knows how to work the system.

It's presidents

They're not children, they Donald Trump's co-conspirators.

What's to be torn about laws are clear. If she has broken any then she must be treated like any other citizen.

She is an adult that has an office in The White House, she should be treated the same as any other government official.

By children you mean the 37 yo billionaire White House advisor & businesswoman? Or maybe the 41 yo millionaire businessman? The implication is that they're teenagers. THEY ARE ADULTS, responsible for their actions.

She's adviser, treat her like any other employee!!

Bitch is almost 40

She's not a high school student. She's a presidential advisor. (There's a difference.)

She is an employee of the government. Second she worked for the administration, House’s job to scrutinize everything.

A child is under 18.. she, Eric, and Junior are adults..so no, they don't get a pass.. should be investigated..

Ivanka Trump is employed in our government so she is not a daughter she is an advisor to the President and should be under scrutiny for her role in the corruption in this administration!

She is a grownup who purports to be a successful businesswoman. She works in the White House, she is fair game. Should not go scot free or gbabyflt.

They are criminals. Dems need to start to play hardball.

Senior Adviser

“Adult offspring,” please!

Seriously? 'Aggressively' investigate? What kind of inflammatory rhetoric is that? The 'children' are adults working in taxpayer-funded government jobs with security clearances. It's not like they're kidsincages. But they should be behind bars. TrumpCrimeFamily GOPCorruption

ivanka, jared, and don jr are all 100% fair game as they’ve involved themselves heavily in politics. eric’s role in trump business criminality should be explored as well. leave tiffany and baron alone.

They are goddamn adults, with agency and responsibility, and need to be held accountable as such.

Scrutinize, she should be, got a job in White House and top security clearance because of nepotism. That should be illegal you should get nothing handed to you with no experience in government.

They’re👏not👏children👏

How aggressively are the gop going after AOC ?

Oh hi the 'children' in question are middle aged. Ivanka and Jared have security clearances and work in the WH. Jr. and Eric run the corrupt businesses. Scrutiny of all of them is vital. Why should any of them be above the law? I don't get what the drama is here for Democrats.

Pelosi working her magic* again. * Pelosi has no magic, and needs to be replaced

Time to get over the angst. If they r corrupt it’s up 2 congress to reveal. Btw Ivanka & jr were 1 campaign donation away from being criminally charged. See soho condo caper

I fee like there is a discernible difference between the Bush daughters and the Obama daughters and Ivanka. 1) She’s 37 years old 2) She CHOSE to work for the administration and 3) Her and her husband’s behavior has been questionable and that’s being generous.

Seriously

This is a woman who is nearly 40 and has government clearance she didn’t earn.

She's almost 40.

Once she took a job in WH she gave up her claim to shield herself from oversight & scrutiny. If she's really a genuine business woman, especially a NYC businesswoman, she should be able to take it. I spent 30 years in NYC - if you can make it there . . . (Hint, doubt she can)

Adult family members placed in power is nepotism, leave Tiffany and Barron alone.

They’re corrupt adults so investigate them.

She’s not a child. Who hired this writer?

SpeakerPelosi tedlieu AdamSchiff RepJerryNadler RepSwalwell AOC I hope this isn’t true

If it looks like there may be evidence then investigate. They’re grown ass adults. No one forced them to commit a crime if that’s what they did.

she's 37 years old.

What the Hell is wrong with Democrats? They crucify their own as the GOP demanded but cower before Ivanka?!! It’s no wonder they lost the presidency and two houses with this cowardice.

She's almost 40, not a 1st grader so cut the crap.

I don't understand why this is even a question. Imagine how the Republicans would treat Obama's girls or Chelsea if they were in the same positions? Enough for God's sake, Rome is burning!!!

How about House Democrats 'do the right thing' instead of 'doing what's right' and investigate the ADULT Trump children... VERY AGGRESSIVELY! SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff RepSwalwell RepMaxineWaters

Here's how aggressively. Enough to melt her plastic face.

The Trump kids aren't special.

Hell yeah they better be aggressive! Our courts failed the american people with Manafort’s sentencing. Congress cannot be lenient anymore.

Ivanka collects a paycheck, paid by our taxes. Scrutinize the ever living hell out of her. What is this crap?

SpeakerPelosi scrutinize all the kids who WORK for their Dad and those who have committed crimes that have been uncovered.

They would do it to you

Ivanka embedded herself in daddy's administration.. ' I will be a champion for women and children around the world' Not clear how top level security is required for said role..coupled with numerous trips to visit the Saudi Prince. LOOK VERY CLOSELY. liar

Ivanka,jr. & Eric Are NOT CHILDREN . This is why I am not renewing my WaPo subscription. THIS is biased headline writing that comes from the editor. What is your game here? Tired of this baloney.

These 'children' are grown adults and in their 30s+.....

Aggressively. Scrutinize them aggressively. They are at the center of everything. They get their money from the same laundry.

These people are adults not 12 year olds. They know exactly what they are doing.

Gray bearded children?

You know they’re not actually children, right? They’re all in their 30s and have chosen to grift along with their dad. And ivanka has been given a security clearance, so scrutinize away! And if she’s as dirty as her dad and husband, send her up the river.

She is not a child, and hasn't been a child for decades.

...as hard as possible?

They work for the government, for us. She isn't a child. She skates unless there is thorough oversight and investigation of her unwarranted security clearance and her illicit business dealings with China and the UAE. Go for it.

Connolly's comments are embarrassing, he's more concerned with optics than with justice. Despicable.

His offspring are ADULTS! SpeakerPelosi, do your thing!

They’d be investigating his advisor not his child. And can question her in closed session. When he chose Ivanka for the job and she accepted it with security clearance etc, she became a public servant.

Within an inch of her corrupt life

Ivanka Trump is not a “child”. She’s a 37 year old woman and a female version of her father, just as greedy, just as self-centered and just as criminally inclined.

Equally . Equal scrutiny should be applied to all of his inner circle and associates.

White American trust fund babies like IvankaTrump DonaldJTrumpJr and EricTrump are forever young 👸🤴

Lock her up

Children. In their 30’s and 40’s.

Ivanka is a government employee. Dumb and dumber run the company that’s been described as a crimnal enterprise and that their father profits from. Roast them alive.

If Ivanka Trump were a woman of colour, there is no way that people would even be regarding her as existing within the frame of 'child'. This is one of the unconscious elements of white hegemony -- women of colour stop being innocent children at age 18, but whites at 45, maybe.

HouseDemocrats SenateDems -Two are funded by tax payers to do family business w/foreign entities -One working in the WH, as is her husband -Both of them have TopSecret clearances & are deeply involved in our domestic & foreign dealings Why the confusion? Nepotism has a price!

Oh please! A criminal is a criminal. Investigate her already.

SHE ISN'T A CHILD. Ivanka is a grown ass criminal. She's also WORKING in WH. SCRUTINIZE. Scrutinize the shit out of her and the rest of the crime family. TrumpCrimeSyndicate

We are waiting for someone to hold any of the damn trumps accountable. Any of them. How about that? How about a whole day where we call them by name? Treason, Bleachin, and Nod

If adult children of the president can't come under any amount of scrutiny, then maybe this is why nepotism should never be allowed

Like the criminal she is. End of. She is not a 'child' She is an adult perpetrator of crime.

They are adults who engaged in widespread criminality on their own and in coordination with Trump and other already indicted, convicted, or those in plea deals.

You mispelled adults.

Almost 40 year old woman who has classified security clearance

If they are true 'senior advisors' now, or whether they're criminals, now or in the past, they must be held accountable. Just pretend they're a 12 yr old black kid selling CDs, like the one police arrested and charged.

They 👏 are 👏 not 👏 children!

Stop referring to them as children. Use their titles, then ask the same ?'s about investigating. e.g., 'Ivanka Trump, senior advisor to POTUS, will be investigated for her business deals with foreign, hostile governments.' No-brainer.

Why? She's not a child. Go forth, Dems, find crimes.

Those Democrats probably have their own talentless failchildren who owe all financial and career success to their corrupt parents

They are government officials that have been granted unfettered power by the President. That investigation needs to scrutinize every iota of detail they can uncover. It doesn't matter if they're the president's -grown adult- children.

As in, between very aggressively and extremely aggressively?

They are not children. They are middle-aged, work in the White House and/or Trump’s businesses, and were all involved in his campaign for president.

She's a middle aged woman

Not children. Grown adults who CHOSE to take positions in WH. Fair game.

Well I hope they get over this quickly! They're criminals...period! NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

She’s an employee of our government and hardly a “child.” Feel free to “scrutinize.”

She is almost a grandmother with top security clearance. WTF is wrong with you, OversightDems? You were elected to clean all this corruption.

Um, no, not so much.

Could you do more articles about how the Republicans are doing nothing to stop this insanity in the WH

They aren’t children.

After the Trumps molt, they are no longer children.

They’re adults. Treat them as such.

But ppl can go after Hillary’s babies

So much lib bias ....

She's older than I am. They all are. And I'm old enough to know about consequences. Tear into them. Eat the spoiled brats for breakfast. They're not children, Ivanka is an 'advisor'. No different treatment.

They are ADULTS and CRIMINALS what's to decide. TrumpCrimeSyndicate LockThemAllUp

Why? They are grown ass people. Actions have consequences.

He has adult spawn creeping up to middle age that certainly need to be scrutinized.

They are working in the administration so they are fair game.

The should start by realizing SHE IS NOT A CHILD

Are you kidding me Be cool to the literal 12 year old, sure, but the rest of them are literal adults. Some of them are actual White House staff. If they want to avoid criticism, they could try not doing nepotism

The same you would any other criminals with security clearances. With urgency for our nation’s security.

Ivanka is a 37 year old criminal that failed a security app. full steam ahead. HouseDemocrats

We are in the midst of a national meltdown and Democrats have more to worry about than whether or not Jarvanka feels a little discomfort. Do your job honestly and ethically; everything else will fall into place.

It's really easy. Scrutinize Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric since they actively work for their father or have inserted themselves into our political discourse. Leave Barron and Tiffany alone.

She is an adult woman. If you do that logic, then everyone is someone’s child.

This is simply absurd. They are adults who have clearly proven that they need to be thoroughly interrogated.

Have you tweeted your congress member about this? These people were not elected. They are citizens that need to be investigated. Come up with a plan on the nuc football and go for it.

Traitor Donald’s children are paid government employees! Investigate them as such!

moonmagic66 There should be no confusion. Treat them like other suspects. Indict them. Charge them in NY. (No Pardon!) Arrest them. Build the case. When they lie, because they're good that way, lock them up for perjury and shut down the organization. Prosecution

She's old enough to work in the White House and sit in for The President at meetings and have a security clearance. So, just because she calls him daddy, that doesn't make her a child.

They are not children. They are adults. They work for him/administration.

Senior Advisers to the President of the United States. They willfully placed themselves in positions during his campaign and after his election. Only Tiffany and Barron do not need to be scrutinized.

The same extent Republicans go after AOC. It’s only fair.

Just think Republicans would've thrown the book at Chelsea if she was doing the same thing.

They aren’t children, they are co-conspirators in treason.

Ivanka is a government official, not Donald J Trump's daughter when in the White House, there for, anything HouseDemocrats need to investigate is fair game. Democracy

They’re adults...

If Repubs didn't resort to cheap voting tactics Dems would have this next election in the bag.

They are NOT “children.” Call them “offspring,” or “spawn.” Or, even better, one of my favorite archaic legal terms: “issue.”

Like you would any other criminal.

Children?

She is not a child, she is a co-conspirator.

She's a big girl now, she can handle her own legal liabilities.

they are adults, not children and there are more than enough reasons to actively scrutinize their behavior. they should not be above the law because their father is the president. the same goes for him.

Children?! Oh come on, Post

If they are suspected of committing crimes why should they get a pass on being investigated? Especially in the roles they have in this administration who has shown to be corrupt. These 'kids' have gotten passes all their life. It's time for them to answer to their actions.

Iamcmaxwell I’m not torn for one second.

I banks & Jared work in the White House and use it to enrich themselves. DJ & Eric are adults conspiring with D on hEr to make money off his presidency. Crooks, adults, they aren't children

The same way any other crime-committing, security risking, adult would be scrutinized.

And she's a white house employee. There's a reason why you shouldn't put your kids in the WH. Nepotism, corruption.

If Obama had recruited half his family into the administration can you imagine the outcry?Trump’s blatant nepotism and recruitment of unqualified advisors has been diluted by so many other scandals. They need to be held accountable, according to their current positions

I'd see the dilemma if Ivanka, and all but Barron, were children and not middle, or near middle, aged adults with security clearances in the PEOPLE'S House!

Trump's 'children' are grown a** adults who are CHOOSING to break laws. Treat them like ADULTS and investigate them. TeamPelosi RepCummings AdamSchiff RepMaxineWaters HouseDemocrats

They definitely deserve scrutiny, but the question of whether doing it right now would help or hinder going after bigger fish is a valid consideration. Best bet would perhaps scrutinize Kushner, which would probably bring up reasons to investigate the others.

Take off the kid gloves! They are grownups... well sort of.

Let’s not be polite here. Girl doesn’t deserve silver spoon treatment. Treat her like the grifter she is. Trumpcrimefamily

If she can't take the heat she should get out of the kitchen. This is why you don't hire your children into these jobs.

Get her.....we seen just the other day how easy she lies..apple fall not far from tree...she just as grimy as daddy...

If you don’t investigate their potential criminal activity now they’ll still be around to attempting to perpetuate a Trump political dynasty

Throw ‘em in a cage

Maybe they media could start by not referring to ADULTS as CHILDREN

They are not children. They are adults who proclaim to be Masters of the Universe and hold Sr Advisor positions in the WH with TSCI clearance. I don't care what party, people with that level of power and access to our government deserve the highest level of scrutiny available.

They are not children! They are all adults who have taken roles in Daddies administration! They need to be held accountable!

Nobody's torn. Stop making up sh!t to sell advertisement.

To the fullest extent of the law, that's how. IvankaTrump for instance, appears to have been breaking the rules all around the world. Why on earth would she get any kind of pass? DaddysGirl doesn't cut it.

“Torn” 😂 how about full throttle? Hmm?

Well they shouldn't be (torn).

Yeah, I don't think Barron even gives a shit.

These children are all close to or over 40 years old.

Yeah his adult 'children' who work for the administration like any other

She's a corrupt adult with a cute face. The guards will show respect, but who cares?

This is ridiculous! Step on their throats HouseDemocrats

As a 37 year old 'child': go for it.

If you're legal adult age, you get all the scrutiny you deserve. Next.

They're not children. Investigate the fuck out of every single one of them.

CNNPolitics TheLeadCNN She looks so sweet & loving & innocent, doesn’t she? It takes a LOT OF PRACTICE TO GET THAT RIGHT FOR PUBLIC OPINION! Don’t fall for this latest TRUMP SCAM!!! THE WHOLE FAMILY’S IN ON TRUMP’S FAMILY “BUSINESS”!

CNNPolitics Sorry, no sympathy here for the SPOILED ADULT OFFSPRING OF A CRIMINAL, ALL OF WHOM WANTED TO STAY IN THE “FAMILY” BUSINESS! THEY HAVE BEEN REVELING IN THEIR FATHER’S DIRTY DEALINGS! They need to pay for their foolish ACCEPTANCE of his CRIMINAL INSTRUCTIONS!

👏🏽THEY👏🏽ARE👏🏽NOT👏🏽CHILDREN👏🏽THEY👏🏽ARE👏🏽ADULTS👏🏽

So Democrats are hesitant to scrutinize 37 years old white women, when 15 years old black boy gets 5 years in prison for stealing $100 shoes. Trump

HouseDemocrats SpeakerPelosi Don't be stupid. Don't be cowards. The GOP investigated Hillary & Benghazi for years & got nothing. Do what you were elected to do. Legislate & investigate! They are not children & not above the law. GOP did no oversight for 2 years. ArticleOne

Will it make it easier for them if they imagine her to be black and Muslim?

I’m 37 and despite my juvenile sense of humor, I am not a child....so neither is Ivanka.

What's to be torn about? They are criminals just like their crappy father.

This is so bizarre. What are they afraid of? The pres might get angry on twitter or not endorse them for reelection? Why ate they worried about making trump angry? He’s *constantly* angry anyway. Do your job you cowards.

Increasingly it seems WaPo is moving towards bending the knee to Trump

“We can’t be seen to be too harsh on nepotism and patronage.”

No rush, I feel like IvankaTrump is still finding unrestricted access to US top classified information useful and profitable. 'IVANKA TRUMP SAT IN VLADIMIR PUTIN’S CHAIR AND SPUN AROUND WHEN AT KREMLIN'

Umm like they're anyone else.

ew, what's wrong with you.

Adult children working in the White House are open to scrutiny. Adult children who fundraise for their daddy and talk shit about other politicians are open to scrutiny. No one scrutinizes Tiffany and Barron, because they aren’t trying to game the system.

I cannot believe this is a question. Do the investigation, analyze the evidence, follow up accordingly. They are not special.

How about to the extent available evidence compels them? Ivanka and Da Kush are part of the Administration, so they're a must. Jr. antagonizes a lot of politicians. That kind of thing has consequences, right or wrong. Welcome to the cruel world, etc.. Not sure about Eric.

“Children” she’s almost 40.

WTF, then they should have scrutinized them before they became senior advisors with security clearances.

She works in the whitehouse. Fair game,

She's a criminal first. Everything else comes afterwards.

Hopefully, they scrutinize those grown-ass brats like Sherman scrutinized the Georgia countryside.

17 years old:

The children are the ones being held captive in cages, not some 37 year old flunky.

She’s not a child.

Junior is over 40. Ivanka & Eric are in their 30's. Stop infantilizing them. They're adults, period.

Torn?!? Who's torn? They're SR. WH ADVISORS...RIP 'EM UP...if they didn't want the scrutiny they shouldn't have taken the jobs...

You guys misspelled “criminals” again.

She is a grown woman and works for the administration. This shouldn’t even be a debate.

VanWACitizen Can't wait for your next article titled... 'Republicans would never target Chelsea like Democrats are doing to Ivanka'. Sometimes you are simply pathetic!

They are our employees. They are criminals. That’s all that matters.

VanWACitizen Seriously? You wrote this? How aggressive do you think the republicans would be if Chelsea Clinton was in Ivanka's position? Ivanka, Junior and Eric are not children. They're adults and have taken on a public role in politics. They are fair game and deservedly so!

They’re criminals. You’d better go after them. If my children were criminals there’d be no question!

They are traitors. Stop calling them children. They have offices in the White House.

WTF. They are not children. They are full grown adults physically though mentally is up for grabs

Not a child.

The only trump child who shouldn't be media fodder is Barron. All the rest are adults and fair game.

These are grown folk not children. They haven’t been scrutinized enough. Obviously.

Pretend she's black...

If children is the guide under this regime, they ought to all be separated and kept in cages to play by the same rules.

IFixedIt House Democrats torn over how aggressively to scrutinize Ivanka Trump, and other adults named Trump

The Sh*t doesn't fall far from the Assh*le

Everyone is someone's child. If that gives you pause then everyone is exempt from scrutiny. If his relative works for the US or has access to government secrets they're subject to scrutiny.

She made a conscious decision to work in Daddy's administration. That absolutely makes her fair game for scrutiny. That she and her husband both work in his administration and that they reportedly made $80m last year DEMANDS scrutiny. FirstCrimeFamily TrumpCrimeFamily

CHILDREN?! These grifters have stuck their hands in daddy’s business, as well as the country’s. If they didn’t want to get found out they should’ve stayed in their own lanes.

FatNixon’s offspring are full-grown adults who are actively participating in his corrupt administration, like the kleptocrats they are. They should be scrutinized *more* aggressively, not less. TrumpCrimeFamily

.HouseDemocrats Ivanka, Trump Jr and Eric are not children , they're full grown adults in a full blown criminal enterprise.

Heavily

They work in govt so I guess like anyone else? And she’s almost 40 not a little kid.

They need to be investigated & then jailed. Stop whining, Mueller’s getting closer realDonaldTrump FLOTUS DonaldJTrumpJr EricTrump IvankaTrump notmypresident

Once Ms. Trump put herself at her father’s side she was open for scrutiny.

We're talking about his ADULT daughter, right?

Torn? Torn? Holy shit! You either pursue it hard, or you're complicit... Bury them!

Why ? ?

Almost middle aged woman.

They are not children

Drag her

Please stop. This is beyond ridiculous. It's w/journalistic integrity that you should refer to everyone except Barron & any under-18 unidentified rugrats as trump's ADULT children. There is a difference. I am pleased my taxes pay for MINOR children ONLY. Adults weren't elected!

Think the question needs to be asked is: If it was the other way around, how aggressively would they scrutinise the dems?

Um, they have big time jobs in US government.

Why? What makes any of the trumps exempt. Damn dems do your job investigate all of them. You know they are ALL dirty.

HouseDemocrats, just pretend you're Republicans and she's Hillary Clinton. THAT'S how aggressively you should scrutinize her.

Hello House Democrats: Remember who elected you.

She is 37 years old and a criminal.

The adults who are play-acting government officials/unnamed advisors are worthy of scrutiny.

The majority of Americans aren't torn! They're as complicit and crooked as the day is long; they were only able to hide it better when they lived in their gilded cages in NYC.

To the full extent of the law?

cc: PervyPhantom

As a Democrat constituent, I'd like to instruct my representatives to scrutinize her VERY AGGRESSIVELY.

No I think most really want Kremlin Barbie to go down

I think the Dems should worry more about how it will look if they don’t haul the TrumpCrimeFamily before the House and then into court. Dem TrumpAdministration

They are ADULTS. They have made their choices and now they need to live with them just like the rest of us.

Get over it. Ivanka is a senior advisor to the president.

What, is Joe Manchin upset?

Turn the screws on the lot!

“House Democrats torn over how aggressively to scrutinize Ivanka Trump and her brothers.” There. See? You *can* craft a headline without referring to grown men as “children”. (Note that *nobody’s* looking at Tiffany.)

How about calling them “offspring” or, better yet, “spawn”?

You seem to critize Tulsi just fine. Who's *checks book* a year younger than Ivanka.

Bullshit. They chose to ‘work’/grift in this ‘admin’ - PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEM (asking for a friend 🇺🇸). Seriously, American taxpayers are PAYING to be ripped off by this family of GRIFTERS. We get nothing in return ( no infrastructure, economy is tanking).

JudyWoods8 THEY'RE NOT CHILDREN. Ivanka & Jared occupy high profile positions in the White House while Don Jr. & Eric were intimately involved with the campaign. They deserve every bit as much scrutiny and oversight as any other public servant or presidential associate.

If they were not involved in government, then I would say leave them alone; but, they are so they asked for it.

JudyWoods8 Gee, ya think her spa services trademarks in China might raise an eyebrow now that the Happy Ending Lady is in the news? YA THINK?!?

Ivanka trump chose to take an active role in the administration, they should go after her as they would anyone else who needs to be investigated for unethical or corrupt behavior- and that girl is up to her ears in corruption thanks to daddy. TrumpCrimeFamilyMustGo

Replace scrutinize with “charge with felony”.

I'm wondering how the ' kids' mother is feeling today! Pissed at daddy?

Go get her, if they don't, they are sending a message that prez's family gets immunity bc of nepotism. Criminal is criminal. Law doesn't say the rules change for the wealthy and connected.

They're middle aged adults

They are grown ups

Are you kidding?

They about 50

They are not children and Ivanka works as an advisor so we have every right to criticize her. Just because she’s a woman, doesn’t mean she is harmless.

I recall the 60Minutes interview when Ivanka Trump definitively said she would not be going to Washington and would not be working in the White House....She is not above the law and must be held accountable.

Cripes! People are getting serious jail time for silly things, I think treason, money laundering, influence peddling, and so on may be worth some consideration.

Bullshit the Dems need to investigate her! She's in the WH and A advisor to the Pres. They all need to be investigated . Trump put them in that position and they took the job! Investigatenow

They are adults

Trump has ONE child and four adult disasters

I though today was spring forward, not April Fool’s day 🤔

Ivanka tough learning to be the Toughest GodBlessAmerica

His 'children' are adults who chose to work for their dad's corrupt administration and unethical company. What is there to debate?

It’s bad enough we have learned the Prez is above law. I will be damned if his spawns are too. DEMS Pack your Bags if you do not bring these folks to full justice. RepJeffries KamalaHarris adamschiff RepSwalwell RepMaxineWaters SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi Montejp231 RT

WHY?!

I do not agree with this take. I am on board with children of presidents being out of bounds. However, once Ivanka (and Jared and Don Jr) took positions as White House staffers, they are fair game for appropriate and necessary media scrutiny. No question.

They shouldn't be torn. Scrutinize them like any other employee in the administration that needs scrutinizing. Jesus fuck, TRUMP put his children in those positions. If they're found to be doing something wrong, that's on HIM. Notice Tiffany isn't involved in any of this shit?

They better not be torn! This pond scum took JOBS in our WH and...they must be clothed in Orange!

Dems man up. She’s an adult and part of the administration. Do what you need to do.

They're adults. One of them has an active role in this administration and the other two are still far FAR too closely linked between their father's administration and their father's private businesses (remember how y'all made Jimmy Carter give up his peanut farm?) TeamPelosi

She took a seat in his place at a G7 conference among other world leaders.

I will help you out... pretend she is a young black male. 😐

Stop with the mysogeny. Pretend she is a guys

She's a grown-ass woman, just like her siblings. They are adults who made adult choices and they suffer the consequences. Drag her.

acupoker The House of Representatives (as well as Senate) needs to do their civic duty and honor the oath they took to protect the Constitution of the United States to make sure the Executive Branch works within its legal boundaries (period)

This is idiotic. If there's reasonable suspicion that they've done things worth investigating, investigate them! If there's not, then don't. It's not rocket science.

acupoker No one is torn over Democrats investigating the TrumpCrimeFamily Not one Democrat Zero Zilch Nada

Stop it! They are adults (except Barron) and need to be described as such. They are equally criminal in their actions.

I don't understand. If she broke the law then go after her, hard. Why is this even a question? Dems showing their weakness again and it's sickening.

When your charity is shutdown, when you swindle people of their money, when you lie or misrepresent the truth, when you have knowledge and participate in corruption why worry?You play you pay, children have died, people have been poisoned, is this what we have come to represent?

She's not a child. She's an adult, with an office in the White House and a job 'advising' the president. And she's making money from every guest that stays in a Trump-branded hotel. She's one of the most powerful women in the country, so yes, she's fair game.

Children? I know they are pretty ignorant but I I think they should be put on trial as adults.

They’re not children. They are involved in the criminal organization. They are as shitty as the old man.

A 37 year-old is a child Who knew.. 🤔🤷‍♀️🤔

Please dems let this one go?!? She’s not the real threat compared to what she sits next to.

He has other children besides Ivanka? Who knew? 🤷🏽‍♀️

No, we're not torn at all. Thanks for asking.

Nobody is bothering Tiffany or Baron, just the 3 adult spawn that are committing treason.

They are ADULT children.

We realize they are minors, but can they be tried as adults

Forget they're his children because it's a crappy policy to hire your kids. Let's say they're his advisors and executives

They're not his children. They're public servants.

Those sociopaths don’t care about people so why on earth would we care about them?

SpeakerPelosi RepCummings Stop it. Ivanka, Jr., and Eric are not children. - Donald Trump Jr., 41 - Ivanka, 37 - Eric, 35

She works for the country. Show no mercy.

Unlike other children of presidents, they “work” in the White House and they are adults. Therefore, they answer directly to the American people. Barron is a completely different situation...he is a child & should be left alone.

Children are not responsible for their parents crimes,until they line up behind the parent and fully support them,work with them,excuse them,lie for them...could be explained as “brainwashed”..but not release them from being part of investigations and eventual🤞charges,let’s hope

SpeakerPelosi They are adults who deserve *increased* scrutiny because they have been given positions they didn’t earn and clearances anyone else in their positions would have been denied. PullNoPunches NationalSecurityFirst TrumpCrimeFamily

WTF You're talking about adults, not 'children.' Czar Snowflakes 'children' are closing in on middle age. Jesus F Christ, what is wrong with your paper?

WT actual F

Washington Post is disappointing me more and more recently. Becoming an extension of Fox News.

Democrats were torn over whether to mention Russian election tampering, too. Let's put on our hip boots and get the job done! There is no time to spare!

Children?

They’re adults, one of whom has a White House position. You treat them like the criminals and sociopaths they are. How hard is it? Obviously Tiffany and Barron have nothing to do with any of it, but the adult children are culpable for their crimes and grift.

Wtf are they afraid of?

And why are they torn? After all she is a paid staffer right? She claims she is a staffer to the President therefore she doesn't deserve any special exceptions or privileges. Straighten your backs Dems and take a stand! We the American people deserve answers and transparency.

Don't ever underestimate the Democratic party's ability to shoot themselves in the foot.

At least one of those 3 reporters on the byline uses Ivanka as a source. It's called returning a favor

WTF is wrong with pansy Democrats? Scrutinize Ivanka and Don Jr like you would any other criminal. Because they are adult criminals. Just like daddy.

HouseDemocrats need to get over it. She's racking up patents (including voting machines) for her corrupt family business. IvankaTrump is every bit as guilty as her treasonous father. She is a GROWN WOMAN.

Follow the facts wherever they lead. The kids committed fraud selling condos and faced prosecution in NYC until their lawyer bought off the DA. They got away with that one, and it didn't seem to dissuade them from following in their Dad's grifter footsteps.

Stop calling them children!! WTF!? Don Jr, Ivanka, and Jared are all middle aged adults. Eric is creeping up on middle age and Tiffany is an adult. Barron will be a teenager in a couple weeks. Don’t play this game for them 🙄

Children? Children? She’s not a child and she’s an official advisor. What a bunch of malarkey.

They are Presidential advisors sitting in the White House. They represent this country for no known reason to other world leaders. Treat them like you would anyone else doing the job. And someone please put Ivanka in a Congressional heading and ask what her job is.

Pretty sure “torn” is the wrong adjective here.

40 year olds aren’t children

She’s 37 and has top secret clearance.

I was under the impression that people like to work for everything they get. And that includes working your way up to a position that can be scrutinized 🤷🏽‍♂️

Bull! Go for the juglar before these grifters continue in office in 2020!

They’re old enough to know better. Look under every stone.

Ivanka and Jared work for us. That's it, end of argument.

I think the accurate term for the Ivana trio is 'spawn'. Either way, they're all deeply linked to this fiasco and do not deserve being ignored.

HouseDemocrats, Investigate ivanka, what’s fair is fair! No one is above the law, remember?

Oh For F*** Sake Donald is the one in Diapers His “Children' are middle aged grifters not helpless little kids GFY you should more correctly use the terms, 'Trump’s Son’s and Daughter'

When they get arrested they won’t be charged as children they will be charged as Adults..

“Children”

We’re alll attacking Reps Omar and AOC but everyone is upset if we go after Ivanka. Stupid.

Not torn at all. They're being paid as advisors. They're adults.

When did Cillizza start writing at WAPO?

If she’s old enough to be a senior advisor in the White House, she’s old enough for the oversight that goes with the job. The Oversight Committee is obligated to scrutinize her.

You mean how to scrutinize one of his senior advisers, who also happens to be an adult?

They're in the corruption up to their necks. They're not children, they're adults and should answer for their actions.

Pretend they’re not rich white people.

She is an administration official

Why not treat IvankaTrump like a 37 year-old grifter?

Torn about what? Get some vagina and let’s Rock....

These are ADULT children of the President, one works in the White House with her husband the other two are knee deep in Trump businesses! The only two Trump kids undeserving of scrutiny are Tiffany & Barron period!

She's an adult person employed at the White House... what's the problem?

She’s either a competent professional woman who can validly be criticized, or she should not be representing the country with foreign leaders. Pick one.

Any of a US President's adult children who work in the White House should always be immune from criticism. Signed H.W.B.

Hey, if they work for POTUS and continually speak for him they are fair game. Which means Barron and Tiffany should be left alone.

Hello! Ivanka & Jared are not children. They are adult grifters.

Oh, FFS! They are NOT private citizens. They work for the government. With the president. In the West Wing. With bogus security clearances. This isn't hard, folks. And

They’re grown adults who have all more than likely been involved in unethical if not downright illegal activity. Investigate the SHIT out of ‘em. TrumpCrimeFamily

Name the House Democrats because they need to be publically corrected..if they exist of course

Baron is the only child. The others are grown up and ivanka is in the administration. why have a qualified person when you can give your daughter a job?

If Trump and his children and son-in-law aren’t prosecuted, convicted, and jailed with harsher sentences than what some non-violent pot dealers in this country receive, then you can say goodbye to all respect for government and the judicial system.

Baron is a child. The rest of them are all adults. Stop infantilizing them

I am sorry but she is supposedly a 'senior advisor' to the President of the United States. As such, she should be treated the same as any other member of ths administration. Trump's unprecedented nepotism should not prevent constitutionally required oversight.

Ivanka is an advisor in the presidential administration. It is an official position. She is not off limits.

Mmmmmhmmmm 🙄

SHE IS AN ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL

They are adults (not little kids) and she and her husband are both official members of this administration. The fact that Daddy is President does not give them a free pass - at least not until he pardons them. 😄

Children in the dictionary defintion kinda way, but not in the “woman and children first” kinda way. 😂

Oh jeezus Christ. She is an adult with her own children who is financially benefiting from her position in the white house. This take is ridiculous...

Sorry, WaPo, not believing your clickbait for an instant. A presidential advisor, or campaign exec, no matter the familial relationship, will be treated as such. Nobody's torn.🙄

Calm down. She’s an adult and “works” at the White House.

Scrutinize her, Eric and Jr as the adults involved in corrupt politics and business that they are. Leave Barron alone, he’s a kid. Leave Tiffany alone, she stayed out of the mess. It’s easy.

Skimmed though the article to see who exactly is torn. As expected it was a bunch of nameless aids. Good thing the elected members in charge are taking their oath of office seriously.

They're not children, they're adults that chose to work in the WH, lie to the American people, disregard national security & commit crimes. Fuck those pieces of shit. They deserve to be thoroughly scrutinized & to be harshly punished.

If she's old enough and independent enough to act as an agent of the state, she's old enough to be investigated by Congress.

She an adult who is, however inexplicably, a high-ranking government official.

Also the :

1) They are adults 2) Ivanka works in the White House. She shouldn’t get additional nepotism privileges and should be held accountable like all other government officials and employees. 3) These adults are running Trump’s biz

FFS, they're not minor children who through no choice of their own are exposed to scrutiny due to their parent! They are adults who have voluntarily chosen to work with and defend their criminal father.

Why is this headline being written as if it’s an existential crisis? Ivanka is an adult and works in the White House. Eric and Junior are also adults and are running the Trump organization. Only Tiffany and Baron should be off limits.

Why should they be treated with kid gloves given all that they've done to help the country?

Ummm, just like any other person in this position. Nepotism put them there but shouldn’t offer them any protection from crimes, “if” committed.

Don't they hold official White House positions? And aren't they grown adults?

Yeah maybe the Republicans will stop being nice to them

She's a grown woman and damned near forty; I think we're past the point of treating her like an innocent child instead of the willful fucking criminal she is.

She works for the people. She’s no longer “children”

She's well into middle age. Don't infantalise her

If she is a child whose parent has committed a crime, in the estimation of many people, put her in a cage.

Rip her to fucking shreds! She and the rest of her family deserve nothing less!

Ivanka is NOT a child. She (and Junior and Eric) are complete adults with agency and responsibility for their illegal actions. Barron is a child, we leave him alone.

She’s a “special advisor” to the president, older than AOC and the same age as Ilhan Omar, not a civilian. Full steam ahead on the aggressive scrutinizing.

BS - she is the Special Asst. to the President! When she is working she is working for us (god help us) and is subject to the same level of accountability and scrutiny as any other employee!

She’s and adult and she’s WORKING in the White House. No comparison to former presidents’ progeny.

My two cents: VERY aggressively.

“Children”

Go get her!!!!! She chose her job.

They are not, in this context, his children. They are his advisers. They should be treated like anyone else in that position, &that includes having their actions &motives scrutinized. This is still a democratic republic, not, as they’d have it, an autocracy or a banana republic.

They are NOT children. They are adults appointed to positions of power in our government. They are accountable to us.

Torn Children Wtf!?

Go for the juggler, she deserves it 🙄

She’s part of the administration! She’s not just his daughter. She should be held accountable as well!

I'm more worried about the ACTUAL children this admin is killing/hurting.

88SEATTLE61 Torn, are they committing crimes is yes No conflict, pursue crimes with investigations

Why? White women are allowed to be criminal these days ask Marthha Steward.

Child... who just so happens to be one his advisors. good god wapo!

House Democrats to be focus of new HBO documentary, Finding Mar-a-Lago.

'Torn'?

Yeah, I seriously doubt that.

SHE ISN'T A CHILD; SHE'S AN ADVISOR. For fuck's sake, what happened to journalistic integrity?

Everyone is a child to someone...

Why are they torn? These people are all crooks

That would be Baron right? All others are adults and already following in daddy’s swampy footsteps. They r up for grabs!

'Children'? Offspring suits better. Or brood.

Double standard much? They are adults and should be investigated and tried as adults. We try children as adults for fucks sake

Not me.., investigate the hell out of ALL of them

You mean his 37 yr old 'child'

You do the crime, you can do the time.

Those old men need to get over the she’s just a sweet little thing..NO NO NO she is not your sweet granddaughter . Put you blinders on-Look only in 1 direction. Stay focused...She’s EVIL....(spoken by a little ole lady)

Can we all agree to call them all spawn? Solves the “children” confusion...

Just let AOC handle the questioning part.

Wtf? Why torn?

AGGRESSIVELY, as is warranted!

Fixed it!

FFS- HouseDemocrats We all know they are all corrupt!! Do your damn job!! 😡 It’s not like you’re going after Baron!!

AOC is younger and gets much more grief on an hourly basis.

They are NOT CHILDREN! She is 37! DOBETTER

House Democrats need to grow a pair.

That's absurd. In this case, they are not children of the president in the traditional sense that would make them off limits. They are high ranking members of the administration and should be treated as such. They are not bystanders like Obama's kids

How many previous CHILDREN held important roles in our government? It’s not the child part that needs to be scrutinized..it’s the other part.. 🤦‍♂️

Terribly written headline. She’s either his daughter or the senior advisor. She can’t have it both ways and you shouldn’t enable her hopping from one to the other when it’s convenient.

Every day in every way. They are a crime family.

she’s an employee of the white house. she isn’t a child. this is insane.

Start with Ivanka’s security clearance

She's an adult adviser to POTUS, with a security clearance daddy got for her, she has an office in the WH. She's no different than any other corrupt member of this mal-administration. Uday & Qusay are helping violate the emoluments clause daily. Investigate them all!

She holds an official position so she should be fair game. And the other two morons are always speaking about political things so they should be as well. They can’t go on fox criticizing dems and policy and then hide

She's a 38 year old billionaire with a paid, unelected government position. She's not a 12 year old blameless child. Get your act together, TheDemocrats

Just do it SpeakerPelosi If they’ve broken laws, they need investigated and indicted. We’re tired of this.

Why? They’re criminals. Treat them all as such.

IvankaTrump is not a child

She’s a treasonous grifter.

They shouldn’t be. They are all fucking monsters.

Look at that large 37 year old child

They may be HIS and Ivana's children but they're certainly not children to the rest of the world. Get a damn grip!

This headline is exactly why I hate msm! And why is sponsor TYT & TheNorthStar.

Don't buy into the crap of Ivanka conveniently switching from calling him the President to my Father. If they want a role in the government, they deserve to be treated by anyone else in the government.

Have they tried not committing treason? Or are we just signing off on nepotism?

They aren't children.

the only real decision to be made is, do they throw one book at her, or two?

As aggressively as the House scrutinized Benghazi. And make sure to scrutinize Jared too!

She’s not a child. She’s a fraud. An adult that works in the WH. F-ck protecting IvankaTrump.

She's a charter member of the Trump crime family AND a government employee. On both counts she should be held accountable by not just the oversight committees, but by the DOJ.

She is part of Trump's administration.

Barron? Zero. None. He’s a child. Leave him out of it. But everyone else is an adult, so I don’t understand the statement.

For crying out loud grow a set and just go after these MFrs

No they are not torn. The DC press is. Trump “kids” are not kids. They are adults working in the WH and for the org. Fair game!

Z Cam E2

She's adult working for the government.

The GOP proudly put actual children in cages. His kids are adults. Hang them high, or not at all.

RUSSIAN MONEY LAUNDERER..LOCK HER UP😡🇺🇸

Amazing how there wasn't this amount of pearl clutching when they went after Hillary as first lady.

Nobody is FORCED to work in the White House.

How about: as aggressively as possible

The right has been harassing the kids of presidents, who actually were kids without official positions for decades. But now actual members of the admin are off limits, when they happen to be members of the presidents family? ('happen to be' in this context means nepotism obv.)

Ivanka is a big girl, she can handle it.

She’s not just a president child, she’s apart of the fucking administration

Leverage that shit

They aren’t kids. They have been committing real adult crimes for a few decades now. They are also his business partners. I guess what I am saying is fricking find out all the bad shit they’ve done and jail them for it.

'House Democrats still haven't grasped that Trump and the Republicans are the enemy'

Why? Because she’s a WOMAN?! Fuck that! She’s not a victim. She’s on the top of her game, people. She knows exactly where she is in time and space and gives not one shit about anyone else. No sympathy. None.

They are adults and are responsible for their own part in the family decades of crime including using their current positions to benefit themselves

Pretend she isn't related to the President. It should be irrelevant that she is his daughter. She's 37.

WTF they are a national security threat. DEMS need to stop being cowards and show no mercy

They were merely family, but are now complicit thanks to nepotism. Be aggressive.

She’s 37, Fredo Jr is 40, Fredo the Lesser is 35. They aren’t “children”.

Let me help make that decision Ivanka Trump Wins China Trademarks, Then Her Father Vows to Save ZTE, May 2018

She is a senior advisor with a security clearance. What's the dilemma here?

She's in her late 30's. She's not a child. She has top level security clearance. I'd say they should be very aggressive.

Please quit referring to realDonaldTrump’s offspring as “children”

Well, they might have the emotional intelligence of children...

When she's sitting at the table at international trade talks, we're supposed to take her seriously b/c she's an official of the tRUmp administration. But when she's being investigated as a member of the tRUmp admin, we have to treat her like a family member-hands off?! LockHerUp

The simple answer: VERY.

As aggressively as you would anyone else. They’re grown-ass adults and likely complicit.

Children? I thought she was his girlfriend?

Why does this shit keep coming up?

They’re his progeny but they aren’t children. Treat them as you would any other grown ass criminals.

How about we start by not calling them children. They are adults. Adult children of Donald Trump.

I mean they should just go for it. But on the other hand they need to strategize bc this could blow up in their faces.

Why? $% Nepotards! They are deeply involved with BenedictDonald's scams and by default the PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT! ForThePeople HR1 Nepotards

I'd go with 'aggressive as fuck'.

They're not flippin kids. They're like 40 something.

Why? What the fuck's the problem? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

She’s not a child. She inserted herself into our government. She’s fair game.

She is a WH senior advisor with a security clearance. Investigate thoroughly!

HouseDemocrats , as aggressively as you would scrutinize any other 37 year old adult you have cause to and who has been placed in a government position via nepotism, with zero experience or qualifications for said position. That’s how aggressively.

She's a grown woman, a few years shy of being officially middle aged. She's got a security clearance and she works as an WH advisor. At what point do we stop treating her as a child just because she still calls POTUS 'daddy'? At 50? At 60?

Last time I checked, 37 is old enough to be President.

Children Thirty-seven years old?

Offspring not children

Grow a pair and go after the whole family. Even the blacksheeps, Baron and Tiffany. That will fire him up.

Ivanka Trump is a middle aged, grown-ass woman. She’s almost the same age as I am. She deserves to be held accountable.

Trump’s nepotism brought Jared & Ivanka into government. Trump, himself, decided to include Jr & Eric in corrupt practices once in office. Trump made the decision for House Democrats, himself.

Get over it. It’s not OUR/YOUR fault that realDonaldTrump needs family to hide his illegal activities. PROTECT THE PEOPLE, not grown-ass kids of the “president”. cc TheDweck WhiteHouse TheDemocrats SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi VP PressSec GOP GOPLeader SenSchumer

Torn? She’s a member of his administration. That’s all the reason they need. Don’t be spineless. 🙄

Your country regularly shoots black teenagers caught with a small bag of weed but you wonder how to scrutinize a 37 year old with a rich dad?

They are adults.

Would America go after Hitlers kids?

They’re FEDERAL EMPLOYEES!!!!!

White privelage much? She is 37?!

Fuck that.

And yet perfectly ok letting republicans rake AOC over the coals on a daily basis because..?

how aggressively is the SDNY scrutinizing these “children”? maybe democrats can take their cue from that investigation.

No one is above the law. Ivanka and Jared hold official positions in the Trump government therefore they are not free from indicated investigation just because they happen to be the daughter and son-in-law of the President.

Democrats are such cowards

If they hold public positions they are subject to public scrutiny.

NOT A CHILD.

She’s a senior advisor to the President. She doesn’t get a pass

They are adults accountable before the law and the US public whose funds they use regularly to advance their own business interests when ostensibly on affairs of State for which they were appointed not elected. Nepotism

It's frustrating to hear the same rhetoric from Democrats as we have from the Republicans: is it fair to treat the criminal offspring of the president as poorly as a regular criminal? Are you kidding me?!

If only they took such care in criticizing Muslim congress women!

just don't be fooled, or we'll all be in another fine mess of a trump evil plan

Dear Dems wringing your hands over investigating the Trump Children of the Porn. Ivanka is 37. Kushner uses a lot of moisturizer, so he looks about 15, but I’m guessing he’s on par with Ivanka. As for JR. & Eric - emotional age of 8 collectively. In other words, INVESTIGATE them

Other than Baron they should be fair game.

Trumps adult kids are voluntary participants and therefore subject to oversight.

She's a grown woman and presidential adviser. Everything right up to the Yellow Pages to the head is in play.

If Republicans don’t bat an eye when separating actual children from their parents at the border, why should Democrats worry about Trump’s adult children?

I say go for their jugulars. If they are criminals, we need to get them the hell out of our government!

He has one child who should have immunity from scrutiny, and it’s not Ivanka, Eric, or Don Jr.

SpeakerPelosi The answer is Very Closely. Do your fucking jobs. They are not above the law

She’s not a child.

They need to be scrutinized as much as every other person who works in this administration. Anything less is giving them the special treatment that Cheeto Benito expects you to.

Do we even have to state the obvious?!?! This is the problem with the Democrats. Even after everything trump, his family and the GOP have put us through, they’re worrying about ruffling feathers and making people upset. 😡😡😡

Is the work at the White House an after school job?

N E P O T I S M

They are adults. They are criminals

Why They are grown adults.

Answer: Very

*adult children

The tiny humans in cages at the border are children. Trump’s offspring are adults, or ‘whatever.’

That should say his adult children.

1, she’s not a child. 2, she has a job in the White House. 3, the criticism relates to her eligibility for a security clearance, her conflict of interest in marketing her brand and getting trade deals, and her lack of qualifications to perform any legitimate job in the White Hs.

Answer: very, as if she was a WOC caught with an ounce of weed or driving while not white. Can't believe this is a serious topic.

Ivanka, Eric, and Junior are adults, and be viewed as such. The only one to be off-limits should be Barron.

They should be investigated BECAUSE they are his kids. That makes the whole thing worse! If we act like his kids are off limits, it's a monarchy.

Give them what they deserve! They know full well what they’re doing. They are adults.

Lol she is 37 years old and part of the administration. So she should get special baby treatment because they’re related? Awh needs that safespace, I guess

What's the argument not to hold them accountable for any crimes they've committed?

If only she weren’t pretty and blonde, then no one would be torn.

37. Way too old to be separated from her fam at the border like her Russian owned daddy is doing TO ACTUAL CHILDREN.

Children

JFC, they aren’t going after Barron or Tiffany. They work IN THE ADMINISTRATION AND RUN THE TRUMP BUSINESS.

37 year old child

They’re f**king adults who are responsible for their own reprehensible actions.

She’s not children - she’s a criminal

SHE’S NOT A CHILD - SHE’S 37 YEARS OLD AND INSERTED HERSELF INTO PRESIDENTIAL OPERATIONS!

She’s not a child, she can get the harshest form of treatment someone who’s achieved her level of thievery deserves.

STOP CALLING THEM CHILDREN! THEY ARE ADULTS WHO MAKE BAD DECISIONS AND HAVE BEEN SELLING OUT THE US.

The only choices to be debating are super aggressively vs super duper aggressively

They 👏 are 👏 not 👏 children 👏

This “child” is nearly 4 decades old.

spawn. not children.

She is not a child, she is 37 years old. Like an adult. Like any other adult. That is how you question her.

They are adults that are using their positions to steal from the US, time to step up and do the right thing. Go after these criminals

THEY ARE NOT FUCKING CHILDREN THEY ARE ADULTS CONDUCTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Stop say children dammit.

Oh I doubt that. Follow the money. If a future Dem president is dumb enough to behave like this, scrutinize them, too. TrumpCrimeFamily

Don’t back down because she’s daddy’s girl.

'Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday, arguing that Trump’s children are not off limits to investigations. “They are advisers to the president. They have security clearances. This is not their children at home.”

Ridiculous. They're part of his administration.

I have never seen or heard any democrats say anything like this. The mere hint of a mentality such as this is a joke.

Well I'm against family separation. If he goes to jail, they all should join him.

THEY ARE NOT CHILDREN

You misspelled demon-spawns.

They are part of his administration and should be treated as any other person working in the government. They are adults and know exactly what they are doing.

Important for Dems to make sure they work with Ivanka's nanny to insure she has gets regular diaper changing and frequent naps while under investigation.

Dems better toughen up.

How about saying ‘the other adults’, not ‘children’. They’re old enough to prosecute just like the rest of the crooked administration!

Ivanka, Eric and Junior are all adults, HouseDemocrats TheDemocrats.

Nepotism should be scrutinized VERY aggressively.

ffs they are adults!

Stop calling them children for FFS! They are adult and experienced grifters, and already have blood on thier hands. They belong in prison for raping our country!

But AOC so is fair game...?

If she is a child then I’m a fucking toddler, and I should get only the best treatment.

She WORKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!! She is government employee first, daughter second.

'Children. Who have Children.'

'Children'?

She’s in the whitehouse. She’s fair game AND a criminal. lockherup

Who are these Democrats? We need to have a come to Jesus.

She’s almost 40, not a child.

They’re not children. They’re adults. They made their choices. There are always consequences for your choices!

SpeakerPelosi RepSwalwell SHE IS A GROWN ADULT. It’s sexist to treat her differently. SO GO GET HER.

They're all adults.

'adult children who are active parts of his administation and likely conspirators against the country' ftfy

They chose to be in the position they are in. They're also ADULTS. GO FOR IT!

'Children'

Children? They’re adults

They should not have special handling.

BS

They’re adults and they’re criminals. Eviscerate all of them except Barron... and maybe Tiffany.

Why are you calling them “children”? This is SO WEIRD

She is employed by the government and has top security clearance. Scrutiny is required.

is 37 the new 17?

SHE IS 37, FOR GODSAKE. SenateDems and HouseDemocrats need to grow a spine. She’s playing grown up games, not hopscotch.

Laugh out loud worthy

She's the same age as IlhanMN and you didn't seem to be super torn about scrutinizing her

These aren't children.....These are grown, grifting, stealing, conning ADULTS and they should be treated as such!! If that offspring has paid ONE DIME of proper tax, colour me shocked!!

She’s 37 years old 🙄

She's 37 years old and works in the Whitehouse. She deserves to be held accountable just as much as her dad.

If there is one unifying message it might just be to hold Don jr and the Kushners accountable. In fact much of 2018 election was about that.

Seriously 'children'? By using this term in your headline youre are implying that Dems are unfairly targeting a poor defenseless child & not a 37yo unqualified proven liar benefiting from nepotism. BTW Actual elected officials AOC (29yo) & IlhanMN (37yo) get far more scrutiny

She isn't a child.

They’re adults who either work for the White House or run Trump’s companies. The only one who can seemingly be left alone is Tiffany, and Trump doesn’t claim her as a large adult child anyway.

Oh dear, poor IvankaTrump, can she not “architect” her way out of this? Bless her cotton socks!

Any of them who have been involved with any governmental or political actions deserve the scrutiny that their actions require. Any ones who haven't been involved need to be left alone. Simple.

She’s 37. And got a public job (which no one can define) through nepotism. Democrats are so tragically gaslit.

Should be as aggressively as she is using her daddy’s position to line her own pockets which is about as aggressive as it gets.

So nepotism not only works, it's protected. HouseDemocrats get your act together and deal with this adult felon.

Treat her the way any White House employee should be treated. She’s not special.

She’s a woman, not a child! And look, she sits at the table of power. Make her accountable.

As a Leftist, I can't begin to describe how joyful I am at the direction theDemocrats are taking. Perhaps next year they'll implode for good, and finally the REAL Left can get something accomplished around this goddamn place.

While Republicans had zero problem going after Chelsea Clinton since she was 13. Dems need to get a backbone.

She is an employee of the White House and 37 years old. She is fair game.

Exactly why a president should not be able to grant security clearances to employ family members in the WH

If it’s believed they’re complicit in committing a crime why would they, should they, be treated any differently?

They have roles within the Trump organization shaping the policies of the federal government so no matter how young or old they are they are not immune from criticism.

Oh, f'cripesake, give it up, already. The Russiagate sham is crumbling around you, so let's find something on his kids. You can't challenge him on policy, so this is all you've got. Yeah, they're spoiled, entitled hellspawn, but JESUS CHRIST, ENOUGH WITH THIS BULLSHIT.

THEY ARE GROWN-ASS ADULTS❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

Ivanka is an adult that now works for us. She should be open to intense scrutiny, if she doesn't like it or has something to hide she must go back to the private sector and stay the fuck out of politics. Openness and transparency is only threatening to those with something 2 hide

She’s a grown ass woman. She’s not a minor or college student. WTF

They shouldn't be torn at all. You get what you pay for.

They have no right investigating his children, but she is a ’senior advisor’ and they have an obligation to make sure she does the work she does (whatever that is?), ethically and with integrity.

Try the '100%' setting for a while and see how it works, you can always tone it back down (a little) if necessary.

Middle-aged people are 'children'?

There should be no 'torn' here. Make the case. Use the facts. Stop being such wimps and terrified of Republicans and the media. Stand for rule of law. It's not that hard.

HouseDemocrats who are skittish remember: Donald unilaterally awarded IvankaTrump & her half-birthed pollywog husband security clearances and adviser jobs

SHE IS NOT A CHILD.

She is a 37-year-old adult woman.

Separate her from daddy and throw her in a cage until they figure out what to

Just treat her like she's a 12 year old black boy

'Torn' can't be accurate, seems hyperbolic here

The only one off limits is Barron. And MAYBE Tiffany; she seems not to have a hand in anything. But the other 3 either took jobs in the campaign, the White House, or are still running the criminal empire. They are fair game. Indeed, investigating them is mandatory.

Ivanka's nearly 40 and she's a criminal. LockHerUp

Not a child...

simple... he brought her into this mess and she stayed to reap $$. Go get her...she had a choice to do right or wrong and chose to do wrong. I want her seperated from her kids.

She works in the white house and has a security clearance. Anyone else at that level and there would be no question. If they don't investigate her they are basically saying the way to avoid scrutiny is to go full nepotism.

I mean, sure they're adult criminals who knowingly defraud taxpayers; but - because they're the offspring of the most vile, unscrupulous cockroach to ever occupy the Oval Office - we need to approach this gently.

Stop calling them children, which conjures up youthful innocence. Use a more objective word such as offspring. Spawn would also be OK in my book.

Democrats being absolutely useless yet again

They are basically henchmen.

She works in the White House and is riddled with conflicts of interest. The fact that she is related to the president is no reason to shield her from scrutiny. If anything, it should *increase* scrutiny. Nepotism is not an aegis.

This is why nepotism should never have happened. Hold her accountable just like anyone else. She is a senior advisor to the fake president. She doesn’t get a pass.

She’s 37 years old. She’s not a child. She’s a temp employee of the federal government. They need to get over this patriarchal idea of “protecting the little woman.”

Ivanka, Don Jr & Eric are adults. Do better with headlines.

She's not a child. She's his adult daughter, a chip off the old criminal.

‘Republicans Torn Over How Aggressively To Scrutinize Malia And Sasha Obama.’ Filed under: Headlines That Never Happened

They are not children

Remember how reluctant the GOP was to call Michelle Obama a “Wookiee”, over and over and over again Cc: SpeakerPelosi

Like any other adult working in the WH. Not rocket science.

She's a white house staffer. It's not like she is unaffiliated with the administration except by blood relation.

They are grown-ass people

Considering she’s an adult woman who is involved in the workings of the White House, I’d say they shouldn’t be. She’s not a child. She’s made her choices and can face the consequences. complicit

I think this is the story dems want circulated to pressure trump and possibly gauge his limits by his response to this. And I’m fine with this.

Chelsea Clinton must be pissed.

Children! They’re all adults. Come on

Ivanka Trump is a grifter and narcissist just like 'father' who willfully sold-out America for self-enrichment, put U.S. security in jeopardy. It is imperative that HouseDemocrats 'scrutinize' each member of TrumpCrimeFamily to full extent of their power.

She is a grown woman. They are grown people.

Treat her with kid gloves, I mean she's had SUCH a tough life so far, give her a break!! Way to go after the truth Dems!!

Children, nope! Adult daughter of the president...not a child! Sick of this idea that she should be treated with deference. She works for the government, for us, not her father. He put her in that position, but nonetheless, she’s a taxpayer paid employee now and is fair game!

She is not a child.

She's almost 40

As aggressively as you would any paid WH advisor. Her nepotistic relationships should be irrelevant. Act consistently and transparently and with integrity- let the political chips fall where they may. Hedging projects bias.

The child is 37 years old and an appointed advisor to the President with a bogus top security clearance. They should scrutinize her doings upside down and sideways

DONALD TRUMP Children 37 years (October 30, 1981) Ivanka Trump 41 years (December 31, 1977) Donald Trump Jr. 12 years (March 20, 2006) Barron Trump 25 years (October 13, 1993) Tiffany Trump 35 years (January 6, 1984) Eric Trump

totally. there’s so many things to scrutinize it can be hard to know where to start

Not calling out your Dad for degrading women is showing your truth to all.

They are not children. They are spawn.

Just do it! She is no different than her corrupt and crooked father

These 2 make me sick.

Why is the question? They are as corrupt as their daddy.

She's just another gov't worker a civil servant that has no special permissions when it comes to security clearances. Nothing else matters now if you want to talk father and daughter we need to look into the nepotism law and slam dunk the white house as appropriate

Screen them like a heroine dealer at intake for jail.

AGGRESSIVELY, FOR FUCK'S SAKE... AGGRESSIVELY!!!!

A) They're not children B) They work for us and need to be held accountable for their own actions C) They're not children D ) If they weren't related to Trump, there would be no question they'd be investigated E) They're not children But most of all... THEY'RE NOT CHILDREN!

At this point, we need to see the transcripts of every politician: DNC & GOP!! Until then, go sit on the time out chair and write a 1000 word essay, in cursive, detailing what you did wrong along w/ a sincere promise to never do it again!! Ivanka equality nodessertforyou

Trump has locked up other peoples kids in cages and wants his to be protected. Get Real.

WTF. She's part of the administration. She should be treated as such. Republicans wouldn't hesitate for a second. Democrats are so weak. They never learn. Show no mercy. If anything happens to Trump's precious daughter it's his fault! LOCK her up. LOCK Jared up. LOCK Trump JR.

She is FAR from innocent. Investigate her full steam ahead.

I say throw the book at IvankaTrump infact. Throw the entire library at her.

WTF & WHY DNC, how are women to argue for parity when YOU'RE perpetuating the sterotype that women are NOT, nor should be considered equal! Ivanka's position was not earn but given to her. She's corrupt, smug & has evaded scrutiny because she's blonde?! equality hypocrisy

maybe they should read some of DonaldJTrumpJr tweets....bet they'd feel otherwise.

They are Happy & satisfied with each other. Father and daughter, They share so much with each other U sie it How they look At each other & flirt!

Is she torn supporting her father’s reign of dangerous malignant narcissism?

WHY If she was a male, would this even be an issue? Her position was given to her, not earned. She's incompetent, smug, corrupt & has evaded any accountable for her actions because she's blonde? DNC You're perpetuating stereotypes you say are wrong! IvankaTrump EqualRights

That is literally the dumbest sentence I’ve ever read.

Pathetic!

She’s his right hand man. Why treat her differently from her brothers? You don't expect her to tell the truth though, do you?

TermLimitsNow

If Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr and Eric are in fact using the US government to pursue their OWN FINANCIAL interests at the expense of this country, they should be investigated. It has NOTHING to do with whether they are DT's kids. They are adults and should be treated as such.

A criminal enterprise must be investigated. If anyone appears to be involved, they should be investigated. As we have seen, there is no one trump won’t use to get what he wants and all his children have participated and benefitted from this. They are not exempt.

If she's broken the law, then I don't see what the dilemma is.

Show no Mercy.

Torn They are NOT above the law‼️

Get her an the rest

Democrats look soft because we're worrying about the 'optics' of punishing criminals

It better be agressively.

Criminals are criminals. End of story Prosecute

Why torn? Bring Ivanks in, ask her questions. Get the denials on record. Follow the Cohen playbook.

Tip-toeing is unacceptable. Investigate thoroughly. TrumpCrimeFamily

Charge them and let the justice system work beginning with the multiple Lies, false statements on the federal forms submitted to the government

House Dems are only interested in political motivation to the detriment of our country. Can’t let them have any power.

Torn, seriously? They don’t care.

The Democrats have my permission to treat them like the blatant criminals they are

Are they 'torn?' Or are they people with different perspectives discussing what strategy would be best to take?

Yeah what about Tiffany did Tiffany get top secret clearance?

This is wapo trying to stir outrage to create a narrative they want. This isn’t journalism. This is your war.

These are not little children. They are grown adults! If they committed a crime they need to do the time. Any adult who does a crime should be investigated and charged. Children who are not adults need to be left out of politics of course.

They should not be 'torn', they should be investigating all of the corruption, no matter who is involved.

Torn? Rampant nepotism.

Our law and order President would never condone special treatment for his kids, if they are guilty, lock them up! maga

If they broke the law, they need to prosecute maga

Well, except for Barron, they're not children, so thinking of them as adults might help.

Ridiculous.

All the grandchildren of Communist

They are criminals, so the answer is 'to the fullest extent of the law'. I swear to God, the DNC are trying to lose the next fucking election that is only theirs to lose.

Just like you would any other criminal, aggressively. Why is this even a question?

House Democrats should scrutinize them as they would scrutinize any member of Trump's team. They should not get a pass.

Why Why are they torn? They need to investigate everyone in this admin who has a relationship with Trump. What the actual f**k is wrong with Dems?

For what

Mental Patients

I guess that hate bill bullshit doesn't apply here?

Treat 'em like the criminals they are.

Just another example of rich white privilege!

They are adults not children treat them accordingly!!

They need to look at everyone that is potentially guilty of committing crimes no matter who they are!

Don’t back down now.

L O C K. T H E M. UP❗️

Torn !? SpeakerPelosi DNC DemocratHouse RepAdamSchiff - you treat them like any other traitor to our country. Why the double standard?

Luke 6:31....”do unto others”.....

Lock them up

Were Republicans torn over how aggressively they scrutinized a former First Lady? No. Put Ivanka under the microscope!

Dems are showing Americans part of how dictatorships work: Investigate citizens in search of a crime vs. investigating crimes in search of perpetrators. We already learned w/ Kavanaugh they don’t believe in due process for all. I hope voters remember in 2020. realDonaldTrump

If they really want to see Trump unhinged worse than Mueller makes Trump unhinged the Democrats should investigate Trump's kids but especially Ivanka as she is the clear favorite of Trump.

That's disgusting

His legal-age children have openly and extensively participated in all these lies and corruption. Therefore, they should be shown absolutely NO mercy. Hands off, Barron. Don't even joke about his as if he were an adult. He's just a kid. A child. He deserves our compassion

Grow a pair of freaking balls! Do the right thing..if scrutiny is called for then do so..🤷🏻‍♀️ not sure what the dilemma is...

Some women follow their path and fight with the violence they have inside .....Happy Woman's Day. Guglielmo S.

They. Are. Not. Children!!!!

The Democratic Party has become nothing less then a group of Brown Shirt thugs. Get over your election loss and get a job so you can get out over your mothers basement.

Uh, let’s see... they’re part of a crime family, soooo... all the way? That sounds good to me.

The family members are employee's (!) of the Government and should be treated the same as all others .

Take it all the way. You’re setting an example to the people for gods sake! And the Manafort sentence isn’t helping!!!

The same. Why should she get special treatment.

I AM SO TIRED OF WIMPY DEMS. THERE IS A CRIME FAMILYIN THE WHITE HOUSE. GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH SELF DEALING IS GOING ON, HOW MANY SECURITY BREACHES THEY’VE WROUGHT. GET THEM OUT OF THERE! Even if GOP won’t convict, you need to do the right thing. IMPEACH.

There’s nothing to be torn about! They are adults who violated laws, like their criminal father! Impeach, indict, charges filed, prison...and more! I’m sick of this pity crap! Grow a set, Dems! Do your jobs!

Go hard...she's as corrupt as her daddy...no wonder the supposed First Lady is always a no-show..

Really, they want to disrupt Ivanka,, and they let Omar openly commit hate crimes while serving in Congress. Does that really make sense?

They are sneaky little folks that do the same stuff regular folks get locked up for, but they're getting away with it bcuz of donnie? 🧐

Poor Trump.. except Putin and there is nobody to trust.Venezuelan trap for trump

Lock them up.

They need to go all in on Ivanka

Why?

Why? They’re acting as government employees.

Nepotism is as nepotism does.

Why? Crime is crime whether your make or female.

Follow the evidence, the rest will take of itself.

So the Democrats are going to scrutinize a person who has done more in 2 years for women and creating jobs for free! than any Congressman! Well, I don’t think this is going to go your way lol. Go ahead it will be fun to watch the sinking ship.

If the crime fits there is no alternative but to investigate and if guilty prosecute. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW , NO MATTER WHAT REPUBLICANS THINK

I guess scrutinize them like you would any other adult you think may have committed crimes, violated ethics rules or lied to officials in their capacity as campaign workers or White House staffers. Like, this isn’t hard.

Some folks are trying to put a kind of clampdown on Trump, whatever way is of no consequence

No they are not. Democrats are premiere Misogynists...watch how they treat her...watch how misogynistic the Democrat women will be - acting as agents for Schiff and his homophobic buddies...

these 'children' are adults and as such must be held accountable for everything they do and say like any other adult in the real world. if Trump can't take the heat he should get out of the kitchen.

Dems 1939 all over again.

you either support the laws of our country or you allow special people to break them over and over and over ..........

Very

Bully is the word, MSM are bullies, and people see through your bullieshit

It's really a family affair and unless all members are questioned, information will be incomplete.

I thought this was an onion headline. Wow

So disgusting!!!

You are all fake News crap! Every president since security clearances were developed have requested special clearances! You should criticize all the 7000 retired government employees who still have clearances!! Assholes!

Why, she is the most like her father of the 3 first born?

Toss em to emalument clause. Let it be your guide.

Well, they can keep lowering the bar but, they should keep in mind, Trump could easily win re-election and, based on their performance since they got back the House, they could lose in 2020. Do they really want to place themselves in this position?

They are adults!! For the love of god! Stop referring them as children!!?

You should probably just investigate anyone who commits a crime, no matter who they are...

No one has a right to break the law, not the President nor his children.

Pretend they r NOT his children and treat them like anyone else who would hold those positions. Pretty simple to me

Keep it focussd on criminal actions and not just scandals

The Democrats are not torn, they’re merely strategizing...

Jared and ivanka are fair game for sure, they are part of the administration

I have a lofty idea! How about just leave the people in the Big White House alone! Get a damn life, for crying out loud.

Regarding Barron, none.

She could have gone back to her Ivory tower; she didn't. All forms of greed ,no matter the person, deserve scrutiny!

I may be old fashioned but I like to see evidence of a crime before I investigate. What is the crime she is accused of? WitchHunt Perjurytrap IvankaTrump

TheDemocrats They are adults! No one is above the law, not even them. Lock them up!

If they work at the White House or run a Trump business, they should be scrutinized like all his other cronies. The only innocent ones are Tiffany and Barron.

Leave Tiffany and Barron out of it. The rest have involved themselves with government policy

Trump's children aided and abetted Trump in his criminal acts. They profited from what he did. How can they not be indicted just like their daddy will be? If they did the crime, they should do the time (old line, but it stands true). Jared, Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric should go.

Why? Any who knowingly do wrong are not above the law, unless it's the family and friends of Trump, why not them and only us! Truth be told, it's the law of the prince of darkness, who is now ruling powers of earth. Revelations 12:7-9,12 Truth be known reasons why things R as R

Look at her jewelry line,apparel line,ugly red hatsmade by toddlersin sweatshops inNicaragua+kickbacks fromvendors washed thru Deutsche Bank

if you went through a full day of committee hearings that might be punishment enough

No they are not. They could give a damn. They would love to see them all in jail and Trump’s empire destroyed. The WAPO believes the same.

What makes her an authority on anything?

These so called adults need to grow up and take accountability for their roles in the scam on the American People. They are not qualified nor were cleared to work in the capacity 45 wanted, so they broke the rules and laws because they DON’T CARE how it looks. Crooks for life

Rip her a new one, just like any other criminal! Additionally she should get the rough ride her daddy encouraged police to give to their charges!

Dear sir...what is electrocution? i heard in arab countries... in terms of punishment they electricute and also eye for eye?... which is not judicial ..it is tit for tat.. a kind of revenge....

Would you like to see the right go after Chelsea’s financial shenanigans, or young Miss Obama’s drug usage? This will not turn out well for the left.

She has no business being next to him.

Not really, no

Lock her up. She’s at the center of the criminal conspiracy. Take away her kids and give them to a decent, moral family.

Treat them as if there were Obama’s kids.

Sure go after them and seal your fate and give us POTUS 2020!

Way less then there own racist muslim extremists they elected. That's what happens when you entire communities are over run with illegal immigrants. Go to her community and do an ice sweep.

These kids are not above the law, if they broke the law they need too be accountable,period. If they have pertinent information they need to give it. America has no Princesses and Princes .

So as a mother I would tend to lean on the lighter side.....BUT.... in this case, since they seem to be put into very powerful roles willingly, then it should make them subject to the same scrutiny that any of the rest of us would be under in those roles.

Get her! If she can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. Blond and pretty and white doesn’t make her innocent.

That is silly. She works in the WH.

No one is above the law!

They should scrutinize themselves🤔

As aggressive as aggressive gets - he shouldn’t hire family and then commit crimes as a family

Grow a pair and do your job

They are adults. If they did anything criminal, they should be held accountable. What’s the problem?

Thank you SpeakerPelosi for a sensible, succinct, and rational statement.

Except for Baron, they are NOT children.

They are not 'children'. They are working for us. Investigate.

Why? Go after her. She’s much more culpable than hillary and she’s useless

It would help if you stopped calling them children as though they were Hansel and Gretel.

Nepotism! Nothing to be torn about just do diligence! dumpgop

Washington Post wants the communist democrat party to waste taxpayers money on inquiries against the President and his family Twitter is purposely delaying the president's tweet notifications

Torn? 🙄 SpeakerPelosi

'torn'? No, trying to calculate their poisonous malice without having the nation hate them for being malicious and destructive. Y'all are total weirdos.

Follow the law

Such a double standard. Get this right progressive Democrats that want my vote; you prosecuted Ilhan Omar, but are now soft on a white woman of some illusive political place?

Very Aggressively. Problem Solved.

What’s to be torn about? They worked on the campaign and his daughter and son-in-law are currently working at the White House. Scrutinize away!

They stepped into politics eyes wide open with hands out!

No, they’re not. But, you hope to sell subscriptions.

Be aggressive- that’s how to get to him. Besides, they are dirty.

Nobody LIKES to hurt peoples' kids, But, in this case, it appears both Jared & Ivanka are using the White House to enrich themselves. In that case, you must do what is needed.

Don't take a poll, do what's right. Investigate their asses.

IVANKA is an UNELECTED UNQUALIFIED shoe designer HEIRESS how embarrassing for the USA 🇺🇸

Just because men somehow find that fake chica pretty is no reason not to scrutinize her questionable biz practices and more questionable security clearance

They are adults not children. They are supposed to keep the family's business out of the WH. they don't. Ivanka spent a weeks vacation with Putin's daughter during the campaign. That should tell you how aggressively to pursue the truth no matter where it goes.

Let’s get this straight, Donald J. Trump’s ‘children’ who are in charge of TRUMP ORG. are not little kids. They are GROWN ASS ADULTS! If they broke the law, they go to jail. Even Ivanka. If Ivanka broke the law, she goes to jail. Even if she has children of her own.

They are right in there raping the country, secret meetings, business loans and trademarks. Throw everything at them.

Since they took jobs with the Government they should be held to the same standard. Again, if they didn't do anything wrong it shouldn't be a problem answering questions.

Why treat them any differently?

She's a grown adult

Why? They want to run in these circles and pretend to have any kind of credibility, then they are fair game

Let's start investigating the democrats, starting with Waters, Pelosi and Schumer. Maybe Booker too with the sexually assaulting men.

😂😂😂😂🤢

Do the legally right thing.

There’s no debate, they are criminals like their father.

Think about all the China branding she accomplished on taxpayer dimessssssssssss.

Go big or go home.

house democrats won't touch Ivanka. Barr and the IG are going over declassifying documents on request from the president this will show how corrupt democrats where in 2016 and 2017. This will stop the house dems since they will have to prove there innocence.

Simple. By applying the LEGAL DOCTRINE of Respondeat Superior, i.e., Vicarious Liability. Their 'blood relation' is a red herring.

JFC! She is a part of the administration, not a child. When the hell are Democrats going to grow some balls and start acting like a party that really wants to win!

Ivanka and Jared work for the white house. They should be treated exactly the same as any other WH employee

Burn them to the ground.

How the hell can House Democrats be torn about Ivanka Trump?

Putrid people of hate attack others & their families who differ over opinions.

The desperation of the Dems because they have nothing is getting comical...😂😂😂

Just pretend she is a 15 yo black kid. HerEmails LockHerUp

Nothing to be torn about. They are adults. If there are reasons to investigate, investigate.

LOCK THEM UP

They should be scrutinized because they are as corrupt as their father. Corruption runs deep in this family!

What is with this tip toeing around going on? Is there some script that all media is following? Is this a soapie?Some Day time drama!? Get on with it ! - If she's innocent fine; she is a personal advisor correct ? Ok ! , then we know thus far all his advisors are suspect. AOC

They have done just as many illegal things as he has. And they are serving in the White House WHERE THEY DON'T BELONG. No one elected them, no one asked for them to come. They must be prosecuted, just like Dad.

Excessively!!!

They are not children.

This is a no brainer. What’s to be torn about?

Just like they would anyone, that's how, these crooked people aren't special, they think they are because they are all silver spoon morons who don't realize they are simply silver spooners. No special treatment, they want to play gov officials then they get the full dose.

I’m not torn. If they’re dirty they are the same as any other criminal and should be prosecuted

Very. Very aggressively works.

Daddy’s little girl 😁

They are not acting as his children but members of the administration and should be treated as such.

Just pretend it is Hillary and do what the republicans would do.

follow the rule of law and if they have committed crimes they should be put to justice.

GOP would show no mercy if Chelsea worked for Hillary.

I can solve that: very.

Ivanka is Daddy’s girl.

Democrats do you job. Investigate his kids They are adults that should know right from wrong.

charluv2011 LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! IvankaTrump

If Malia Obama or Chelsea Clinton were in the same position as Ivanka, the GOP would not have hesitated to rake them over the coals. Come on Dems, grow a set! 🙄😏🤔

They’re adults and part of the criminal mob Trump family. Put away the velvet gloves!

They wouldn't spare my ass if it were me!!! Throw the book at every last one of them. I can't even believe that this is a thought!

ChelseaClinton sure got her share of “scrutinizing” and so did the Bush girls so .....

JeezusfknKrisp ☠💣☠

Be careful. Your setting the future

I don’t understand the problem. We’re talking about a crime family!

They are adults. This “trumps children” stuff is nonsense

I don’t understand this at all. If a strong suspicion of wrongdoing is present, then INVESTIGATE. If the investigation provides evidence of a crime then prosecute. If no evidence is found then say so and move on. Simple.

it takes some real trash to go after a man's kids just because you don't like him

I’m sure they can find some Jews to hate.

Scrutinize She is a govt. emplyee

Let's go all the way.

Lying is Not Trivial Even Though Regularly Spewed. By Trump Family & WH! The Taxpaying American Public Deserves Truth & Must Get It! US Democracy Must Preserved! NOBODY Should Be Above The Law; Money, Fame, &/or Position Should Not Impact Justice! No Excuses & No Exceptions!

The NAZI had no such schism with children ... Obuma put children in cages ! .... Why would the party of KKK' not use zyklon-b

An utterly unqualified person has been given access to our nations most classified information , and you have to wonder how aggressively to scrutinize her?

Lock them up

IVANKA IS A PRESIDENTIAL FUCKING ADVISER!

Snowflakes are so funny

Lock them up.

The Manafort sentencing and the hands off approach to investigating Trump’s spoiled kids - it sanctions the mafia presidency

TheDemocrats are in-line to repeat history

Ivanka and Jared are aids to the president. Investigate them accordingly.

A display of sexism from Dems If true.

They’re as crooked as he is.

HouseDemocrats Shouldn’t be difficult-she has been in a position that SHE definitely is not QUALIFIED for & obtained a clearance because daddy insisted & wasn’t ELIGIBLE for-NEPOTISM As aggressive as possible~ASAP

They are not children. They are rsponsiblefor their corrupt actions as adults

Treat them like any other White House employee because that’s what they are.

Uh why? They put themselves under the spotlight by taking jobs in the WH.

Jared is a must as is Donald jr as they have done severely damanaging acts to usa

Democrats should scrutinize themselves. They can’t adhere to, nor enforce on themselves the standards they expect from and demand of others. They withhold consequences when it concerns their own yet hide behind the very standards they eschew when they feel like attacking others.

Do NOT criticize Ivanka Trump. She may be an alt-right Neo-Nazi sympathizer, but she is also a WOMAN, and those two cancel out. It's not that difficult, people.

They should scrutinize their own party. Plenty of dirt to be found there.

If they are advising, reading documents, testifying before Congress, running campaigns, appearing as a US representative overseas— then they get scrutinized. They aren’t “children.”

Do what you were elected as a whole to do. Get to the truth of our democracy being attacked. Go where the facts lead.

gutless as usual, just like passing on Fox for the debates. DNC is going to blow it again. I blame them not the Russians

These investigations in search of a crime are a disgrace to our country.

Torn over how aggressively to scrutinize Trump children? You mean it could be worse You people are trash and hypocrites. FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople

thats whats wrong wth th hous democrats in a nutshel. if ther is a job 2 b dun efin do it. thy spend mor time fidling with wht 2 do with a freshmn rep. who steps in it. wht wood th GOP do, thy'd go 4 th jugular. ths prez is ruining our country rip him & his stuck up kids 2 pieces

Ivanka Trump is an adult. She has led a life of privilege and has learned to exploit her good fortune. If she has been involved in criminal activity, she needs to pay a price.

Pretend they’re not his children. Because that’s called “nepotism”.

Investigate fully! They are part of this administration! They are not children! They are adults and accountable just like anyone else!

They’re members of his administration. They should be scrutinized as much as any member of his administration is, their daddy status should have nothing to do with it.

How about... very aggressively

For the last time they ARE NOT CHILDREN!

Why are they torn? Ivanka & Jared are in official government posts. Complete disclosure is appropriate. If they don’t like it, then they should resign.

Question what did DJT have to promise for Ivanka Trump to get Chinese trademarks. There should be a congressional investigation

It’s safe to say the base is going to show up on Election Day not only to vote for Trump but to vote against Socialism, Green New Deal, Open Borders, 3rd Term Abortion’s, legalized prostitution, Slavery reparations, free stuff for everyone even if they are unwilling to work.

SHE IS NO LONGER AN INNOCENT CHILD! TREAT HER AS AN ADULT!

Adult children. They’re adults. They don’t have to be and don’t want to be handled with kid gloves.

They’re adults and be treated as such!

She ia s member of the administration stop being weak and soft..you received a mandate in 2018..do what the people that elected you want

Karma is enough.

Are you kidding? Between this and the Manafort sentence, white privilege is alive and well. You can break all the laws you want as long as you make money doing it.

Why do they need to do that....

No special treatment. She an employee. Period

Get this criminal mob family out of our revered White House

Oh, for God's sake -- realDonaldTrump's daughter & her husband are 'senior advisors' & part of his administrative team. Why shouldn't they be scrutinized just like ANY OTHER member of his administration Plus they have security clearances, right? 🤔 TrumpAdministration

Scrutiny over wrong doing should follow one thing.... the wrong doers regardless of who they are!

Lmao, Keep it up guys. You’ve forgotten your history. The House Dems are going to get Trump another 4 years. Keep on doing what you’re doing.

GO AHEAD AND BRING IT......TRUMP2020!!

REPUBLICANS want her scrutinized too, ethical ones that is.

Crime Family.

Treat them like the criminals they are.

Since when? They routinely mocked his youngest son not to mention the rest of the clan. Why would The be “torn” now?

Ivanka Trump is a lovely, talented and brilliant woman who is a credit to the White House and this country.

I support & pray for our president but I don't support relatives/family ( no matter who they are) working for 'any' president. Just puts out there more issues & possibly problems so why go there. Dems need to scrutinize their own!

Dumb

Why the fuck?!? If a crime was committted they need to be held accountable to the law of the land. There would be none of this fucking handwringing if it was Obama’s family defrauding Americans. They say we have two parties, but we don’t. Not until justicedems replace old wood

Lock her up.

If they are that close, maybe you could arrange for them to have cell close to each other when they go to prison.

Aw...coz she's white and purdy?

Let's see: What would Trump do?

They are as culpable as their Father

Are they still considered 'children' when they have (questionable) security clearance and are negotiating with foreign agents as reps of U.S.? Asking for 330 million citizens. Bernie2020 to end this madness.

Why would they be torn? Not aggressively investigating the ones who are on the federal government’s payroll is an overt endorsement of nepotism as a way for a President to shield himself from congressional oversight

Well I am not torn.

I can understand. Just peeking at Eric makes me queasy.

Please. Just fuckin imagine if Chelsea Clinton was serving in the WH with a security clearance granted to her by Hillary, who lied about it. The only debate on the right would be whether to pursue the death sentence or just life in guantanamo

JAIL❗️

How about just as aggressively as they do Chelsea? Which is not at all.

Have them testify under oath

No exemptions for criminals.

Trumps children are clean and wear nice clothes - neither quality should mean they are above the law. However, let the law convict them and don’t play politics

she's a fckn crook... I would nail her... where's the accountability for her private email servers... especially after they berated Hilary. SpeakerPelosi oversight extends to IvankaTrump ... do you job please!

Ivanka is in administration so she’s fair game. Tiffany/Barron are off-limits.

Treat them, the Trumps, like any other criminals.

Get down to the business of helping the people in this country that need it. Fix what is broken. Tighten security. Fix infrastructure. For God sakes, DO SOMETHING. Fry the big fish but get this country running or does big $$$ prohibit that.

I heard trump want to fuck Ivanka at some time

Why are they being viewed as the presidents children? Why are they not being viewed as citizens of this country that broke laws? This would mean that all men are NOT created equal and that 99 percent of Americans would be treated differently than the 1 percent. Welcome to the USA

Argh!!!

If this slanderous and shameful, wasting tax $$. All by the new klan socialist/Communist party

Torn If she is a criminal like her father, she should be scrutinized; we already know she is a liar

They’re adults

They shouldn't be and Pelosi tweeted that she wasn't. They're adults who committed crimes.

He put them in a position to be scrutinized.

She broke the law! There should be no separate justice! The entire family is corrupt to the core! TrumpCrimeFamily

Democrats be wimps.

Avoid them altogether? Isn't nepotism bad enough without you cowards giving them the royal treatment? They are federal employees without paychecks. Throw the gawd-damned book at them if their transgressions warrant it.

Treat them with the same consideration as he treats migrant children.

They are officially part of the administration, scrutinize away.

HouseDemocrats please go aggressively after Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr and Eric. They are criminals hiding in plain sight behind their crook of a father. We are a nation of laws and they MUST be enforced equally. Nepotism Ethics TrumpsAreCorrupt Lies ProfitingOnAmericasBack

Nail these traitors HouseDemocrats SenateDems SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler

and maggieNYT will be outed as the biggest TRAITOR of all to America!!!!!!!

OFCOL... yes, she's cute. That's meaningless people. Don't get taken in.

If you suspect she's committed a crime, prove it! She shouldn't be treated any better than anyone else!!! That's what's wrong with our justice system, they give the people with power and money a lot smaller sentences!

We’re in a moment where we are seeing the damage that occured when people got a pass for being famous, rich, charming or talented. People have to question their biases about her engineered looks+behavior when she has, behind that facade, engineered cons if not worse

ARRRGGGHHHH!!!

Why?!? They have fake security clearances and using the power of the US Govt in order to induce foreign entities into line their own already (inherited) wealthy pockets. I could go on, but that seems like enough for 'aggressive scrutiny'.

They are living in DC and working in the White House; I don't think any hesitation is warranted. 😐

Just tell them to bring it on . . . . she can handle the liars!!!!! FISA will stop all this shit show anyway.

It’s okay to ask questions. It can be done with respect.

Dems are dead in the water. And they know it. And I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Very aggressively. Why are they even debating this? She is a WH senior advisor.

The main reason is they do not have anything. Democrats will look horribly rotten attacking the most liberal members of the Trump team.

They aren’t babies. They are co-conspirators and active participants in the crimes that Trump Co. and Trump “charity” committed.

Why is it different?

KITTYBAYOUTSFAN Roto rooter them, financially.

Nobody's above the law.

LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!

Why go soft on her when she's as corrupt as her father?

Treat em like the criminals they are !

Lock her up with daddy! He'll love it.

Ivanka should be dealt with in the same manner as any other U.S. citizen. Why don't the laws apply to Ivanka or any other Trump?

Get the microscope out. She was appointed to a position way out of her scope based on Nepotism.

If they don’t, nepotism will remain alive and well.

So aggressively that a Trump will never seek public office again.

SpeakerPelosi why not scrutinize her security clearance and her trademarks in China

SpeakerPelosi: please lead. This fake center dem fringe needs to drop off or get back in touch with what it means to lead a party and a country into a new evolution.

It's easy: tear them to shreds. And make sure Mommy and Daddy both see it.

Advice, Do not tread on Her

Her book quote - This is who IvankaTrump is

Americans believe you do the crime you do the time.

She’s not special. Scrutinize her like republicans scrutinized Obama’s tan suit. Just because she’s pretty, doesn’t mean she isn’t a filthy crook like her father.

GOP would eat Chelsea Clinton alive if she was there. Stop the insanity

this is witch hunt for the purpose of getting trump at every turn sir. you at post are still a loser paper, you have no good writers who only write for democrat slamming trump at all costs.

Why would they be torn? Emoluments Clause. Seriously your stories and opinions have really sunk to rock bottom at times. This is one of them.

Ivanka Trump wasn’t aware of the astonishing amount of illegal activities taking place around her?

Criminals should be prosecuted! Let's not forget her email issue! realDonaldTrump is the president and he isn't above the law either!

Bring it.

No they’re not.

What’s to be torn about?!

She is....

All the way to her trial. Unless you want to be caught up by n the corruption of the trump crime syndicate.

trump is a strong believer in nepotism

If the Trump kkklan is guilty, you go after them.

Why is this hard? Their job is oversight. She’s a WH employee, despite our norms and ethics. She is not above scrutiny.

Stupid article.

They are not children. They are adults who deserve scrutiny.

Get ‘em

I say do your job no matter who they are...a criminal is a criminal!

Reading her book should help.

Generally the bigger the douchebag the tougher the scrutiny, so Don Jr should be at the top of the list.

Grow a spine. Criminals need to be dealt with.

As the investigations into her father's presidency and business dealings are now bumper to bumper on the beltway and beyond Ivanka hedges her bets. The first daughter has signed an exclusive deal with the other big man on campus. GOD

Go hard or go home.

She is complicit and she need to suffer at the hands of the law. No one is above the law, including Trump and his family!

Give them the scrutiny they deserve. What is it that makes them ineligible for a security clearance?

Bad timing WaPo....in case you're not following the news.

why? think emoluments clause and see how torn u should be.

More left wing propaganda sickening

LOCK HER UP!!

No one is above the law.
