House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler said Monday that while White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump is not currently included on the whopping 81-person list his committee is looking into, she “quite conceivably” could crop up on another list in the future.
“She’s not on the initial list,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “There may or may not be more people” included in the probe, he added.
When pressed, he admitted that it was not hard to imagine a scenario where Ivanka is added to the investigation.
“Conceivably, certainly,” he said. “I can’t say, but quite conceivably,” adding that nothing should be read into who’s left off the list at present.

Wow, Nadler is trolling Spanky. I expect that anyone connected with the Trumps at any point is going to end up in front of Nadler’s committee at some point. It is basically like working for the mob, anyone who gets involved with it gets corrupted and you can’t easily leave it.
I think by leaving Ivanka off the list, the Democrats are toying with Trump, she is the mouse to their cat.
“Ivanka the Terrible”
Coming to a House committee investigation near you soon.
I heard a rightwing yakker last night muse that they (the Democrats) are obviously setting perjury traps and hence people should simply refuse to testify. I think he said ‘everybody’ should refuse to testify (That’ll show em!). It got me thinking about the very idea of a ‘perjury trap’. What is it? How is it avoided? Seems self-evident it is pure bullshit, and the way out of a perjury trap is to simply answer the questions to the best of your ability. Of course, that means you may find yourself admitting to a crime, in which case, if you don’t want to ‘come clean’ then the fifth is your only other option. A perjury trap! What a devious invention! Goddam Democrats!
