Should Ivanka be called to testify?

After all, it is reported that she was the one that was called several times to talk to her father to try to get him to come to his senses and call off the dogs.

She would know more about the details and what was really going on in the White House than anybody else, including Mark Meadows.

But, it would probably make TFG very angry to see his daughter dragged before the Committee to answer questions.

Of course, she could refuse to answer. She could take the 5th. She could argue that she was not able to testify against her father.

But, answers or no answers, a lot could be gleaned from such an appearance.

Most of all, it would show the Trump family they are not exempt from the laws of this country.

She and the whole circus of aides and enablers present, in some form, that day, should be called in.

The list of people that should testify is long. I only hope that this can be all finished up before
the 2022 elections get too close to make any difference.
