Criminals (Ivanka, Jared) meeting with Robert O'Brien and Mark Meadows today at White House







I wonder what brand of evil they are up to. Pardons ? Resume-washing ? Hold the Dictator-wannabe's hand while he cries and rages against reality ?

eta: Pence is in CA. WTF. He needs to be in DC stopping Trump from doing crazy shit.

They are in legal jeopardy, and they know it. At this point they are in full CYA mode.

Would the military go along with a call for martial law?

Michael Beschloss' concern over this made me concerned. My other thought is that the meeting would be about pardons but why would O'Brien be there for that? It's his presence which bothers me.

I've seen speculation about who's running the country with Lame Duck a l'orange going to ground since the election. Pence is off doing the ceremonial military thing in California, and by all accounts he and Hair Furor are avoiding each other anyway. Seems like the Chief of Staff would be one person in touch with whoever is really running the show. And Jarvanka is/are a pretty plausible answer for "who's running the country?" Since Jared seems to be the White House jack-of-all-trades in the Drumpf maladministration.
