Ivanka Accused Of Skimming Millions From Trump Inaugural Committee

Of course, but it appears that $175K was not their standard rate.

Why would a "standard rate" apply ?? It's not not this wasn't an occasion.

[Dr. Who]

The standard rate does not apply during a rare event when space is at a premium. Nor is that the test.

They can't put more people in a space than the fire code allows. So the only difference would be the cost of the meal. If it was off their standard menu there would be grounds for charges. As to space being at a premium, they would have to demonstrate that they have used surge pricing in the past.

You can't just raise your rates because the attendees are high profile or because it's a political event. There are laws regarding that kind of thing. You can raise your rates if there is competition for the space or if you are being asked to provide extras.

This was in preparation for the inauguration. Of course space was at a premium. Market rates, not standard rates is the measure.

This is harassment. If the so-called investigators and decision-makers are Democrats fry them.

Inaugurations occur every so often.

Well, no one can be convicted without proof, so that will be the test. I think it's a foolish thing to mix family business with politics.

[Cotton1]

I hope she charged even more than the looney left people claim she did. I also hope she gets away with it .

The Trump organization owns or controls some premier venues. How is it possible to not be involved?

[Dr. Who]

Inaugurations occur every so often.

So what? There has to be justification for charging a higher rate. The event has to cost the provider more money or there is no defense. Otherwise you are into undue enrichment territory because of the fact that they were using Trump properties for these events and the charges were well above market rate. They should have avoided using Trump hotels period. It simply invites ethical scrutiny. Not smart.

No one has been accused of anything. Democrats are wishful thinking.
