The Ivanka Gambit

The cases against the orange rat are about to swallow him up one way or another.

In chess a gambit is offering up of relative value to be in a much better position.

What is about to be offered is Ivanka.

In a CRIMINAL case against the orange rat, Ivanka has been invited to testify
about what she witnessed, when she asked her father to please make the insurrection end. To tell the insurrectionists to go home.
Now, this is her real opportunity to be a real patriot. She can tell the truth and save her butt as a bonus. Sure, it would help convict her father, but that's just a matter of time anyway.
It would spare jail time for her, and that's a bonus.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't expect that is what will happen. Indeed, most people don't.
More likely, like Eric Trump, she will attempt to cover up for her father with evocation of 5th amendment cries. So far, they have been effective in delaying justice in the Congressional and the Civil cases against the orange rat.

But, this is much different, It is a CRIMINAL case. They do not play that game,
If someone refuses to testify, they are held in contempt, arrested, held in custody and then, when the prosecution is ready, forced to answer questions under oath.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe Ivanka has the integrity to testify against her father. She will likely ATTEMPT to evade answering. It's just not going to work and it will likely force the DOJ to make it's first public move in siding with the prosecution.
That initial public involvement will hasten their own case against the orange rat.
So far, they have just quietly laid back, collecting evidence without publicly appearing to be involved.
So, Ivanka has a choice, But, the case against the orange rat will likely be strengthened either way. Do you feel lucky Ivanka ? Do ya ?
