Brewing em in. Otherwise it’s dereliction of duty.
One of the more handwring-ier offerings here at TPM
ETA I see it’s not AP. Is it steath AP?
IF the Dems are truly worried about this are feckless (in every sense of the word)… BUT this is from Politico so I would hope this is just another obvious attempt to spread disunity within the Ds
Well let’s continue to do nothing, that always gets things done.
As usual with congress, the most important question: ‘what are the optics?’
Trump’s White House is staffed by his kids and son in law. Two of them improperly got security clearance. These same two (Jared Kushner and his beard Ivanka) are using Trump’s “presidency” as a massive cash machine. Trump’s crooked family — including his repugnant son Don Jr. — are fair game.
Democrats need to grow a pair.
OK…Politico…that’s why…
If you read the article, it says basically the opposite. They’re going after the Trump kids that are intimately involved in this stuff (Junior, Kushner and to a lesser extent, Ivanka). Eric comes up only with respect to Foundation and some Trump Org stuff. This is just Politico stirring the pot.
Support independent repeating what Politico said!
The kids in question are adults and criminals. End of story.
“They worry that targeting his family could earn Trump sympathy from onlookers.”
Really ?

OT Awakening to another day of those on the tube questioning the Dems motives,too many investigations,should the word impeachment be used,they should be doing the people s business and on and on.And these are so called moderate commentators.
Oh, please! How many Dems are going to lose one wink of sleep at night for trying to expose the wrongdoings of the most unpopular First Family in American history? Amoebic dysentery is more loved than the Trump kids. Just stop it!
TPM, stop depending upon some anonymous Politico trash article to push the usual “Dems In Disarray” crap. I thought you were better than this, Josh.
WTF. They’re part of a criminal enterprise. They have some of the best diplomas money can buy. (Not using education because, I think you know.). They’re in it for the $$ and ignorance of the is no excuse. Neither is just plain f’ing ignorance.
The only Dem Politico cites who appears to be concerned about the “optics” is Connelly, but he’s not the committee chair. This is quintessential Politico concern trolling.
Put the source (Politico) in the headline so we will know it’s horseshit.
Life is already too short.
That’s an incredibly stupid thing to worry about. There won’t be any blowback for coming down hard on obvious corruption and nepotism.
The “kids” are in their 40s, and they have broken the law.
Yes, the Democrats are afraid…of their own shadows and project weakness! Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Obama, the Clinton’s are more Republican than Democrat…they always worry about letting the American people see the runaway corruption with the US system that continues to prop up the ruling class of billionaires and multi-millionaires thriving off socialism for the wealthy.
Even Pelosi and Schumer love the free lunch of the rich!
Middle class and working poor…the Clinton-Obama Demopublicans only give them lip service! This is why we have Trump! Democratic establishment better wake up…go bold and rebuild the labor movement and economic equality or go join Republicans! AOC has it exactly right!
i though this was a maggie habberman fluff job at first
