Trump’s thug children revealed to be thugs.

Ivanka did a whispery heavily made-up little video saying she was aware that Trump had lost the election. Did she do anything about it? Of course not. Did she keep pretending to be a Government Person, and riding on the Big Plane? Of course.

Next was Mr. Kushner. In his video he was pressed by Representative Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chairwoman, about whether he was aware that the White House counsel, Pat A. Cipollone, had been threatening to resign because Mr. Trump was making increasingly outlandish efforts to stay in power.

“Like I said,” said Mr. Kushner, who was rarely heard from in public during his father-in-law’s presidency, “my interest at that time was on trying to get as many” presidential pardons finished as possible.

Not in preventing his criminal daddy-in-law from stealing the election. Interesting priorities. Also, what right does he have to meddle with presidential pardons?

Mr. Kushner repeatedly inserted himself into the pardons process, prompting complaints from legal experts and some of his colleagues. He added that he knew that Mr. Cipollone and “the team were always saying, ‘Oh we are going to resign, we are not going to be there if this happens, if that happens.’ So I kind of took it up to just be whining, to be honest with you.”

Ahhhhh there speaks the tiny privileged mind of a rich twerp who will commit any crime for more money. Noticing that a coup is in progress is “whining.” He would have a point if he were saying “the team” did nothing to stop Trump, but that’s not what he’s saying at all. He’s saying he doesn’t care about Trump’s treason and he doesn’t care what anyone said about it at the time.

Ms. Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, sounding grim, spoke to the hearing room after the video ended. “Whining,” she said. “There’s a reason why people serving in our government take an oath to the constitution. As our founding fathers recognized, democracy is fragile. The people in positions of public trust are duty bound to defend it, to step forward when action is required. In our country, we don’t swear an oath to an individual or a political party.”

Except when it’s Trump and his trumplings.

And he could be back in about 18 months.
