Why don’t they ask the same questions about Rod? If one “overseer” can have the info/access, then that person’s overseer has even more right...

As always, Democrats fighting for every inch. Meanwhile, sitting GOPe Sentaors give aid and comfort to these rampaging Marxists when they call for Ivanka to be investigated.
