Ivanka Trump Will Become a Federal Employee

I must be missing something. The article quotes her as saying she's an Independent and would have to have been a registered repub to vote in the primary.

It's not of importance to me whether she voted or not, I just don't care (I don't mean that in a snarky way just stating matter of factly). I called her a Democrat and you questioned that so I posted the nymag article that stated she and her husband were devoted Democrats until 2013 and that was around the time her father made a little noise about running.
 
Back in the day means 1993 when she was heading the health care panel. Do try to keep up.

1993 HUH ????? OK, 1993

A memorandum by a former Presidential aide depicts Hillary Rodham Clinton as the central figure in the 1993 travel office dismissals, a politically damaging episode that the aide said had resulted from a climate of fear in which officials did not dare question Mrs. Clinton's wishes.

The newly released draft memorandum, written by David Watkins, the former top administrative aide at the White House, also sharply contradicts the White House's official account of Mrs. Clinton as merely an interested observer in the events that led to the dismissal of the White House travel staff and their replacement with Clinton associates from Arkansas.

In the memorandum, Mr. Watkins gives a detailed account that says the pressure for action came directly from Mrs. Clinton and indirectly through two close Clinton friends: Harry Thomason, a Hollywood producer and part-owner of an air-charter consulting firm, and Vincent W. Foster Jr., the deputy White House counsel who committed suicide in July 1993.

"Once this made it onto the First Lady's agenda," Mr. Watkins wrote, "Vince Foster became involved, and he and Harry Thomason regularly informed me of her attention to the travel office situation -- as well as her insistence that the situation be resolved immediately by replacing the travel office staff.
In Mr. Watkins's account, written in fall 1993, the dismissals were precipitously pushed through almost entirely at Mrs. Clinton's insistence.
After the travel office dismissals, White House officials acknowledged that they had acted rashly, and they rehired some employees.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry on the travel office resulted in the indictment of Billy R. Dale, the office's director, in December 1994, on charges of embezzling $68,000 paid by news organizations for Presidential trips. In November, a jury acquitted Mr. Dale.

Yes 1993 bravs. Did you even read the first post in the thread?

You forgot something: "In 1998, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr exonerated Bill Clinton of any involvement in the matter. Hillary Clinton gradually came under scrutiny for allegedly having played a central role in the firings and making false statements about her involvement therein. In 2000, Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report on Travelgate. He sought no charges against her, saying that while some of Clinton's statements were factually false, there was insufficient evidence that these statements were either knowingly false or that she understood that her statements led to the firings."
 
Funny you didn't say that about the trump kids working for their father's "foundation."

We're talking about ETHICS deary....not crime, do try to keep up.....

She was a liar then and shes still a liar today....unethical...

In Mr. Watkins's account, written in fall 1993, the dismissals were precipitously pushed through almost entirely at Mrs. Clinton's insistence..

It don't matter a twit that shes treated as she is above the law.....Comey's proved that she's
still above the law....you'd have to deaf and dumb not to see that.

 
Priceless, just priceless. When Bill Clinton named Hillary to head the panel on health care, righties absolutely flipped. Bet there won't be any flipping with Ivanka and Jarod taking positions in the administration, though.

"Ivanka Trump, the elder daughter of President Trump, is becoming an official government employee, joining her husband in serving as an unpaid adviser to her father in the White House.

Ms. Trump already has an office in the West Wing, and she said last week that she would serve as an informal adviser to her father. But that plan prompted criticism from ethics experts, who said it would allow her to avoid some rules and disclosures...

Ms. Trump’s title will be assistant to the president. Her husband, Jared Kushner, has the title of senior adviser."

it makes it easier for the god princess to take over after the god emperor in 2024 :)

The transition of power will be smoother instead of having the previous administration spy on the incoming one.

well, she would be first mainstream woman who is articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking, I mean, that's a storybook, man......
 
For the record, we find out now that Ivanka will not be paid :)

Ivanka Trump is officially taking a job with her father's administration — but she is far from the first First Child to work for a sitting president.

"We forget that these things have happened, and have happened often, in the past," said Doug Wead, a former aide of George H.W. Bush and author of All The President's Children.

According to Wead, there are are several examples of children working for as secretaries during their fathers' presidencies, including:


•John Adams II, the middle son of 6th president John Quincy Adams
•Abraham Van Buren, the oldest son of Martin Van Buren
•Martin Van Buren Jr., the third son of Martin Van Buren
•Robert Tyler, the oldest son of 10th president John Tyler
•Millard Powers Fillmore, the only son of 13th president Millard Filmore
•Robert Johnson, the second son of 17th president Andrew Johnson
•Ulysses S. Grant Jr., the second son of 18th president Ulysses S. Grant
•Webb Hayes, the second son of 19th president Rutherford B. Hayes

Other examples of children working in some capacity for their fathers are found across history. John Quincy Adams was minister to Prussia during father John Adams' administration, while Martha Jefferson was acting First Lady, given that her mother died years before the presidency of her father, Thomas Jefferson. Wead noted that several daughters and daughters-in-law of presidents have had ceremonial duties.

In the 20th century, Anna Roosevelt made her mark on the White House, working as father Franklin D. Roosevelt's assistant and acting as White House hostess. In one instance, the 32nd president chose to bring his daughter to the Yalta Conference, during which he met with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin, instead of his wife and first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt.

A 1945 story by LIFE Magazine, excerpts of which were recently published by Time Magazine, said of Anna Roosevelt, "The official White House version of Anna's job is that it is practically nonexistent...Anna works at a desk in her bedroom and does her own typing. She keeps no office hours, and, unlike her brother Jimmy who got $10,000 a year for serving as one of his father's passionately anonymous assistants, she takes no salary. You won't find her name in the State Department protocol list, which means she isn't officially living at the White House to act as her father's hostess during her mother's not infrequent absences."

John Eisenhower, son of 34th president Dwight D. Eisenhower, worked for his father in a much more official capacity, serving as an adviser on national security affairs during his father's second term.

To Wead — who had encouraged George H.W. Bush to bring son George W. on in a more official capacity during and faced controversy for recording conversations with the younger Bush in later years — presidents wanting their children in the White House makes sense, because children can be trusted. That's may be especially true for Trump, whose own business is run by his family and who doesn't have the public office experience or Washington connections of previous presidents.

"Reince Priebus, Stephen Bannon, they will come and go," Wead said. "But Ivanka can remain, because you can never fire someone who holds the position of 'daughter,'" he said.
