Robert Mueller is targeting Ivanka Trump after all

Just yesterday, Palmer Report waded through a curious series of events that seemed to suggest that Special Counsel Robert Mueller hasn’t sought any documents from Ivanka Trump, even though he’s asked for documents from her husband and her brothers. This left us wondering aloud if it was possible that Mueller isn’t even investigating Ivanka. But now it turns out he very much is targeting her.

The House Judiciary Committee is now weighing whether to go ahead and add Ivanka Trump to their document request list, after having targeted just about everyone in her family but her. Some of the Democrats on the committee are openly acknowledging that targeting Ivanka could trigger Donald Trump into retaliatory action, in a way that targeting Don Jr or Eric Trump might not. But the kicker is the tidbit down in paragraph seven of the article.

Robert Mueller is apparently “scrutinizing Ivanka Trump’s role in the Trump Tower Moscow deal, including who she communicated with about the plans to build the luxury real estate project in Russia’s capital city.” This isn’t necessarily surprising, as Ivanka has reportedly played key roles in a number of Trump Organization real estate deals, including Trump Soho.

So we’ll see what the House Judiciary Committee ends up doing. We’re starting to suspect that they’re holding back on Ivanka Trump, and openly discussing when and if they might target her, as a way of trying to get under Donald Trump’s skin. After all, each time he overreaches in an attempt at retaliation, he inches himself closer to ouster. But for now the upshot is that Robert Mueller is targeting Ivanka, which may be more important in the long run.
