Some House Democrats have expressed reservations about going after President Donald Trump’s children in their oversight investigations into his administration, 2016 campaign and business empire.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not one of them.

“They are investigating certain subjects. Whoever falls into that net, falls into the net,” the California Democrat told reporters Thursday./quote]

Well she's not wrong. If they are advising the president they should be investigated. The only one who isn't advising is Barron. He's what fourteen now? But the adult children are another matter.

And he worked to get security clearances for them.
It’s like he thinks they should be treated the same as “elected members” of his administration.
Investigate them!

I find the word "children" confusing. These are adults, and should just be listed by name. If needed, the modifier "Trump relatives" would be more apt.

And his government employees that need to be held to a certain standard.


We can’t ignore that because they share DNA.

Well, that’s nepotism for you. He wanted to give his kids jobs and even bullied for them to have security clearance well above their station, then they go down with you.
Just goes to show that he cares more about himself that even his own kids.

I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm saying calling them his children is accurate over relatives.

Adults or not, handing them jobs they’re unqualified for and giving them security clearance above their station is blatant nepotism.
So if that’s what he wanted, then they should go down with him.

They are adults, with big boy and big girl panties. If they've done anything improper or illegal, they should be investigated since they are part of the White House staff.
