It appears reality may be sinking in for Ivanka Trump.
The first daughter had a little freakout on Twitter yesterday evening after the New York Times published a damning new story about the ongoing investigations into the Trump Organization.
“This is harassment pure and simple,” she tweeted, along with a link to the article.
“This ‘inquiry’ by NYC democrats is 100% motivated by politics, publicity and rage. They know very well that there’s nothing here and that there was no tax benefit whatsoever. These politicians are simply ruthless.”

The first daughter typically doesn’t comment on the investigations into her father and his business dealings, choosing instead focus on her own image and taking credit for other people’s accomplishments.
So what’s different this time?
Well, according to Trump Organization tax records that leaked back in September, the company wrote off $26 million in “consulting fees” between 2010 and 2018. Of that $26 million, almost $750,000 appear to have gone directly into the pockets of Ivanka’s designer jeans.
Reports show that the Trump Organization paid $747,622 to some random consulting company she owns, then it turned around and wrote that exact same amount off as a tax deduction for hotel projects in Hawaii and Vancouver.
But it gets shadier.
Because those same hotel projects in Hawaii and Vancouver were also being managed by Ivanka, as part of her responsibilities as an executive officer with the Trump Organization, for which she drew an annual salary of approximately $480,000.
In other words, it looks as though Ivanka hired herself as a consultant on a project for her dad’s company that she was already being paid to oversee, which could end up being a biiiiig problem for her, since it’s illegal for businesses to write off huge fees to “independent contractors” who aren’t actually independent contractors.
No wonder she feels “harassed.”
And now, the responses…
Maybe just don’t move back to New York.
Ever.

Who was it who said, “if you’re innocent, you have nothing to worry about.” And…you seem worried, Ivanka. Wonder why.

Your “Victimhood” is shocking to the senses! How many American deaths are YOU directly responsible for?
You think Politicians are ruthless? Wait until you start interacting with Prosecutors.
Pucker up, Buttercup! You bought the ticket, now you’re going to take the ride!

Don’t start none, won’t be none. It looks like Ivanka started some with the illegal activity.
Mind, I doubt there will be any other than some smoke and mirrors, but it’s nice that she seems a little scared. Worst-case, she runs to Russia and lives a swanky life.
Kangol2
She might flee but it will probably be to another country whose name is six letters long, begins with an “I” and ends with an “L.” There’s no way any American president or court would touch her if she went there. Not a chance.

@Liquid Silver
I’m not sure if there’s a country willing to harbor such a high profile fugitive from the American justice system. Her crime was unrelated to politics, she herself has almost no political power, and her wealth is minuscule on the scale of world leaders. She would also lose access to a significant portion of her wealth if she chose to flee America, especially considering how much of it is speculative (likely inflated) investment properties.
Liquid Silver
I’m assuming they’re walking out with as many flash drives of secrets as they can steal right now. Those will be reducing in value fast, but for the first year, they’ll be very welcome in Russia indeed.
Brazil, sure. Pretty much any old or new enemy of America’s should be happy to harbor them.
I hope somebody’s scanning Ivanka’s colon and uterus when she leaves.
petej
saudi arabia would take the trumps too. they will fly there under the guise of building the “world’s greatest” golf course or hotel. no extradition. sad ending–most agonizing for them–as no one patronizes them, as they watch their u.s. properties confiscated. in exile, like the duke of windsor.
WSnyder
When your daddy was just the clown prince of NYS real estate, he only p*ssed off a few people. As President, he’s p*ssed off [and killed] a whole lot more. No matter how many Chinese made handbags you sell, no matter how many world leaders ignore you, you’re going to be spending a lot of time talking to lawyers and spending time in courtrooms Sweetie. Then you and Jared will be spending alternating sentences in prison [if you’re lucky] while the other raises the kids.
You should’ve listened to Melania and talked your daddy out of running for Prez because THAT decision is going to destroy your family. Cheers!
succubus
huh?
cuteguy
Why is she even worried? We all know that her daddy Chump will pardon her and her loser brothers before he’s forced out on Jan 20. So she can enjoy her Goya beans at home, wherever that is. She’s sure not welcome in New York. She will prob move to Florida bc her daddy’s puppet is governor down there, Ron Disaster
rand503
Trump can pardon Ivanka for federal crimes, but he cannot pardon her for state crimes. Only the governor can do that, and Cuomo sure isn’t going to pardon her or anyone else.
She’s toast.
Liquid Silver
Yep, she’s off on any Federal crimes, and bribery and running away gets her out of the state ones.
Not to mention I’m sure they’ve got enough dirt to quell a lot of charges right there.
Fname Optional Lname
He won’t be able to pardon her after Jan 20 and she won’t be charged with anything until then. They honestly believe they are smarter than the rest of the world! Just picturing having to get in bed with that hubby of hers really points out how creepy she truly is not even mentioning that she would sit on Daddy’s lap well in to her late teens, GROSS!

You break the law. Know you did and now your running scared… GOOD. serves you right acting and being the monster daddy created. I suggest you get daddy to pardon you fast. But now its to late. Biden pardon? Doubtful. Not after daddy is making life hell for him. You and your family will have a nice big bubba to play with now. Lol. Nope no sympathy. Monster

What cages? The ones barry and dementia joe built back in the day?
UlfRaynor
Obama did deport a lot of illegal immigrants as mandated by a Republican controlled congress, but it was your god king that decided to separate kids from their parents and then proceeded to lose track of over 500 of them (that we know of)
You should change your moniker from AbsoluteTruth to LiesLikeARug.
And for the record, those cages were there long before Obama and Biden took office.

Trump thinks if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying. He thinks rules are for chumps, and those who attempt to enforce the rules are just cheating, because everyone cheats.
Ivanka has learned this perverse logic from her father. She believes she has a right to break the law, and that law enforcement against her is a form of cheating itself.
Inspector 57
If nothing else… Bearing with and learning about the Trump family has been a valuable and fascinating lesson in how lack of integrity can be passed down from generation to generation.
Chipster
Does anyone – Democrat or Republican – really believe that Daddy is NOT going to give all of his family a “full and compete pardon” before he walks out (is dragged out?) of the White House door in late January?
The WORST they’re going to have to worry about it this: he can pardon the criminal offense, but he can’t pardon the DEBT they’ll owe (plus penalties) for the fraudulent claims.
No, the only REAL threat to the Trumps is that they lived in NY (and filed taxes in NYC) until very recently… and the Chief Cheato (sic) can only issue pardons for FEDERAL crimes! The State of NY (and maybe the City) are getting their knives out – and he knows it.
Maybe he was talking to the Indonesians about political asylum? (Running your 2024 campaign from another country? Yet another Trump first!)

It would be great TV if on Jan. 20, just as Dump and his crime family are about to board the plane to go to Maralago if the authorities stopped them and cuffed them all. I am sure in prisons all over the country inmates are waiting for Eric and Donnie Jr. to show up in jumpsuits as orange as their Daddy’s face. Probably drawing numbers right now who gets the first crack at those pretty mouths.

Don’t get too excited, no one’s going to jail. Most every politician has dirt on someone. Washington is so corrupt…(both sides) They never think of the people that put them there. All they want is money and power.

She won’t spend a minute in jail. Trust. Just like Dump won’t spend any time in jail. Just won’t happen. It’s all a wet dream. People need to just stop. We need to worry about four years from now when DumpAss runs again for President. He will still have 70 million supporters, 1/2 of whom think he was cheated out of reelection, and that’s the real problem.

You know Hilary is laughing so hard drinking her wine, bc all of a sudden “Lock her up” never sounded so good. Donnie is sending his favorite down the river
Roy Ajax
Hilary actually committed crimes. She’s probably one of the most corrupt person in Washington. For someone of Ivanka’s wealth, hiding $750,000 is nothing. If she’s found guilty she’ll get a fine. Big deal. But historically these types of investigations uncover nothing major.
barryaksarben
STILL the idiots on the right say Hillary hillary hillary and YET after millions of dollars and numerous investigations (BY THE REPUBLICANS) and 11 straight hours of testimony NOTHING, NO CRIMES. Trump did not even testify in person like Bill Clinton. THEY talk about trump derangement their HILLARY derangement is WAAAY worse and is illogical like their insane conspiracies.
woodroad34
Isn’t this exactly how Daddy made his money? Having Grandpa Trump laundering money in the Casino that went bankrupt so that Dotard could use it as a bank, or setting up a ‘charitable foundation’ for personal use (a field that Dotard nor his children — including Ivanka– can ever be part of again)? The scenarios change, but the MOs stay the same.
Roy Ajax
Have you ever heard of The Clinton Foundation? Donations from places like Saudi Arabia and other countries with less than stellar reputations? Assets valued at about $500,000,000 (as of 2015). Do you really think they’re not dipping their fingers in that pie?
Joshooeerr
While there’s enough on the Trumps to put them all away forever, the sad truth is they’re probably going to get away with it all. Not because Donny will pardon himself, but more likely because Biden won’t want ongoing trials of various Trumps – and the bleating from their demented cult – to overshadow his presidency. I hope I’m wrong about this, because the Trumps really deserve to finally get their comeuppance. And they’re not going away anyway, so they might as well be on trial as paving the way for campaigns in 2024.
Vera Delmar
I say orange would look great against that pale skin of yours. You know orange is a great color.The same orange they have those cute prison jumpsuits they issue to prisoners. Start thinking of ways to accessorize them…maybe with one of your bright colored Ivanka scarves. You can always use that to do the Jeffrey Epstein exit if it gets too unbearable for you.
