Ivanka Trump used a personal email account

But her emails...

Ivanka Trump used a personal email account to send hundreds of emails about government business last year

Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, many of them in violation of federal records rules, according to people familiar with a White House examination of her correspondence.

White House ethics officials learned of Trump’s repeated use of personal email when reviewing emails gathered last fall by five Cabinet agencies to respond to a public records lawsuit. That review revealed that throughout much of 2017, she often discussed or relayed official White House business using a private email account with a domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner.

The discovery alarmed some advisers to President Trump, who feared that his daughter’s prac*tices bore similarities to the personal email use of Hillary Clinton, an issue he made a focus of his 2016 campaign. He attacked his Democratic challenger as untrustworthy and dubbed her “Crooked Hillary” for using a personal email account as secretary of state.

But her emails...

Was any of the information classified? That's against the law. Most people would even get arrested and charged for doing that.

The Presidential Records Act is also law.

Well then I think the matter should be investigated. Are you equating her private email use with Hillary's?

No, I'm not equating. But it's pretty hypocritical to make a huge deal out of Hillary's emails, as Trump did, and then have this going on. But rules are for the little people, right?

If it's not equivalent, where is the hypocrisy?

If it's not equivalent, where is the hypocrisy?

Buried in a level of hatred apparently.

If true that she released or managed classified government information on a system at her house because she was too stupid/paranoid to follow well understood government security protocols, then throw the book at her and release all the data since it's compromised anyway.

Why would Norm believe that any of us would condone this kind of breach?

Sure, Ivanka dresses better but she's still a criminal if this can be proven and would deserve to be investigated and punished if this was accurate.

How not?

She pleads ignorance like the former Sec of State did?

I don't get the connection?? Why would Ivanka have access to a government e-mail account??
