J6 Committee Seeks to Compel Testimony from Ivanka Trump

The tactics being employed by the January 6th committee would be most accurately described as “spray and pray”; similar to the way someone in a video game may just hold on the trigger of an digital automatic weapon while wildly flailing their aim point.

That is to say, the Democrats running the group appear to be throwing just about everything at the wall and trying to see what sticks.

Their latest barrage of figurative brass comes in the form of a request to a very close family member of former President Donald Trump.

The House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection is asking Ivanka Trump, daughter of former President Donald Trump, to voluntarily cooperate as lawmakers make their first public attempt to arrange an interview with a Trump family member.

The committee sent a letter Thursday requesting a meeting in February with Ivanka Trump, a White House adviser to her father. In the letter, the committee chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said Ivanka Trump was in direct contact with her father during key moments on Jan. 6, 2021, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to halt the congressional certification of Joe Biden’s presidential win.

It is unlikely that Trump will comply, given the pattern that we’ve witnessed thus far in the investigation.

This will allow the committee to spring yet another entrapment scheme, with Ivanka likely refusing to comply until the issue of executive privilege is adjudicated properly.  If history serves as an example, the committee will refuse to abide by that request, and will threaten the former First Daughter with a criminal contempt charge.
