Hugemongous mountains from mole hills
The news services, the Democrat Congressional members continue to harp on small issues they see as huge with DT, I suspect trying to find that one inconsequential piece of nothing they can expand on to make a mountain from a mole hill to 'Find' more issue than is really there.
Currently is Ivanka Trump, to become a UNPAID advisor to her father. So what? If that becomes a problem then have to go back in time and take into account JFK's brothers sitting in Congressional seats or state legislatures, would have to go back and find so much fault with Eleanor Roosevelt as she 'Advised' Franklin to a degree no one is absolutely certain of. If a relative or child or confidant is to be of this much furor then all have to be suspect including existing house or senate members and their immediate families or those that have taken up Special Interest Lobbyiing.

Re: Hugemongous mountains from mole hills
As long as it is not a misappropriation of funds, I don't see anything wrong with nepotism.
It is natural to work with people you know and trust.

Re: Hugemongous mountains from mole hills
It's hardly a small issue if one understands the details.
Ethics experts cried foul when it emerged last week that Ms Trump was to be given a West Wing office and security clearance, without formally joining the administration.
Critics said Ms Trump's role ought to be made official so she could be bound by federal employee transparency and ethical standards, including a law prohibiting conflicts of interest.

Instances of family members -- particularly children -- of presidents serving in the administration are rare, and unprecedented under modern ethics standards. According to Barbara Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia, Ivanka Trump would be the first child of a president to hold an official White House post since Dwight Eisenhower’s son John.
The only comparable situation since the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, specialists say, is then-First Lady Hillary Clinton’s work leading President Bill Clinton’s efforts to revamp health care. Still, the role of a First Lady traditionally involves advising the president, and typically comes with an office and budget, said Stan Brand, an attorney and government-ethics expert at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. “I don’t know that first daughters have any special status,” he said.
