We give a perpetual pass to Barron, who's a kid, and Tiffany, who Trump himself forgets half the time, but Trump's three eldest children are a bunch of Marie Antoinette, Patrick Bateman, fake-charity-running sociopaths. This is why we were shocked to read reports that some Democrats were nervous about pursuing the leading members of the Trump crime family.
"Getting to family members I think is dangerous," said Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), a senior member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee. "Only because it gets real personal, real fast. And it risks backfiring.
"Maybe at some point we have to call them in," Connolly added, "but I'd rather let prosecutors look at that."
Republicans would've investigated Chelsea Clinton for overdue library books, but Democrats are concerned about the "optics" of investigating Trump's kids like the common criminals they probably are.

Fortunately, Head Lady In Charge Nancy Pelosi has RVSPed a firm "no" to this pity party. She even scribbled "are you kidding me?" on the back of the invite. No one is going after the Trump children as a personal attack against the tweeter in chief. That's just ridiculous.
PELOSI: They are advisers to the president. They have security clearance. This is not [Trump's] children at home.
She pointed out for the dumb people in the back that any investigation into his moron offspring would result from reliable allegations that they have "violated the law or ethical norms," which we're fairly sure they're doing right now as you read this.

I went to the link and there is nothing there either. If you want to believe an internet blog go for it...

I heard it this morning on MSNBC.
The blogger took some liberties with it, but the part about the "kids are fair game because they are advisors and have clearances" is correct.

They are not middle schoolers. Look at their ages. They are (criminal) adults.

Sorry, I was just using shorthand term to refer to the Trump spawn.
Agreed, they are criminal adults.

(30,764 posts)8. Not your fault.
Everyone refers to them that way. We need to remind everyone, and ourselves, that these are not children. They are responsible for their own criminal actions.

And just as accurate
