Honestly, if any family member knows the details of the Trump companies’ inflated valuations, it would be Ivanka. She was the main reason Deutsche Bank agreed to work with Trump in the first place, and bank officials apparently understood her to be the heir apparent. Forbes magazine dealt with Trump’s valuation problems for years, and Ivanka was right in the thick of it. As the magazine reported this week:
" The attorney general will have plenty of questions for Donald Trump’s eldest daughter. Ivanka helped lead the acquisition of two assets at the center of the lawsuit, the Trump hotel in Washington, D.C. and the Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami. She also lived in another property caught up in the proceedings, a condo building named Trump Park Avenue in New York City."
Hopefully your comment isn’t taken down. I lost three posts because I posted short excerpts summarizing the post, and because they were removed I couldn’t go back to edit them to fix them. So now I don’t try to offer any tldr’s any longer.
She got a pass on being a defendant because of statute of limitations. (You know, the thing were as long as you get away with a crime for long enough, you can never be prosecuted for it!)
She did not get a pass on testifying, although she really, really wants one. Which means that her honest testimony is damning to Donald, to Ivanka, or to both.
And, lol, she’s “heir apparent” to a company in receivership.
tldr;

Two paragraphs should be fine, it’s when you start quoting large blocks that it’s problematic.
Think of it like this:
If the article is 4 paragraphs, and you quote 3 of them, that’s not really fair use.
If the article is 30 paragraphs and you quote 3 of them to make the point, that’s fine. :)
Keep it less than, say, 30% of the original article and you should generally be safe. More than 50%? Not so much.
Pulling those numbers out of a hat, it’s not a defined rule. ;)
I quoted two or three paragraphs out more than a dozen, just enough to establish the context, and got removed.
So I’m done posting anything but the link and headline.
If in doubt, leave it out. :) Safest assumption.
That’s what I’m doing, yes.
ahhh bummer. i didnt realize the reddit mod nazis had migrated also
This is apparently from the admins, so that the site doesn’t get DCMA takedowns that they can’t afford to fight.
ahhh, i see. double bummer
Then why did she get a pass?

She might be cooperating to take dad down.
