Now that Ivanka is getting a fancy new D.C. crib

[MrScorpio]

A place with all the bells and whistles needed for some off the politically beaten path low key confabs and powwows with high profile people, I'm quite sure that making a note of who goes in and out of that mansion should make for really juicy copy.

Hopefully some eager beaver reporters will see this new Trump auxiliary headquarters for what it is: Corruption Central. Connect the dots to conflicts of interest in the new administration. We have a privately owned nexus of Trump's business affairs, right in the belly of the beast for anyone to take notice of.

Insider trading, bribes, wheeler dealer government contracts... The sky's the limit.

If I were an editor, I'd hire some well worn paparazzi types to keep track of Trump's well heeled spawn. Pictures, we need lots of pictures, especially of license plates. Remember that diplomatic plates have country codes, keep a code list handy.

And what do you think they'll find? Grift and graft, everybody. Grift and graft.

The scam is afoot.

Tally ho!!!

FDT.

1. I still don't understand why she's buying a house...

I understand there's a nice hotel right down the street from the WH.

2. ooh ooh ooh! is it by the water? and does it have a gate?

[MrScorpio]

3. Wth hotels, you have phone records, staff witnesses, video surveillance...

Things and people that can get subpoenaed.

The feds can wire hotels much easier than they can wire a private residence. Also, the Trumps can deck out a home in order to impress whomever they're entertaining. It's all about controlling the image for these people. Never forget that.

It's all about control.

FDT.

4. Tax payers will get the security bill no doubt

Another example of Republican wasteful spending

6. Mr. Scorpio, I really like your FDT at the end there.

Seems like it would make a nice, and innocuous bumper sticker. Something that I could put on my truck in a red state and not have to worry about buck shot or getting run off the road.

Hmmmm.
