Meanwhile, where were Ivanka and Jared while Pops sank further into the mud this week? On their magic vacation bus, this time in Vermont. Vanity Fair reports:

As the Trump campaign imploded last August, the couple jetted off to Croatia, where they unburdened themselves aboard David Geffen’s yacht with Wendi Deng. When the president was in the midst of a full-court press to repeal and replace Obamacare—the first time around—earlier this year, the Trump-Kushners joined their siblings on the slopes of Aspen for a petite spring break. As the Russia investigation ramped up in July and the focus turned to Kushner’s involvement in a Trump Tower meeting with his brother-in-law and a Russian lawyer, the two spent a couple days in more familiar territory, breathing in fresh mountain air in Sun Valley, Idaho, where they attended Allen & Co.’s annual billionaire confab. On Tuesday, while Trump defended the white supremacists and pleased David Duke, Ivanka and Kushner were in Vermont, on a pre-planned, two-day vacation.

Who pre-plans a two-day "vacation."? Since they were in Bedminister with Pops last weekend, when he made his first Charlottesville speech, it sounds like they made their plans on Saturday night or Sunday morning, as soon as Shabat was over.

As Vanity Fair says,

By now, though, it is clear that they don’t have nearly as much sway as anyone had assumed. They do, however, deserve credit for perfect timing and honoring their real-estate scion roots and birthrights to a spring break in March and a subsequent August vacation regardless of the fact that they are now in charge of Middle East peace and job creation.

Meanwhile, the rabbi who presided over Ivanka's conversion was critical of Trump's remarks on Charlottesville yesterday, as were several of his high-level Jewish Republican supporters, including Sheldon Adelson.
