Ivanka Trump (And Others) Broke Federal Law By Using A Private Server For Government Business!

From The Washington Post:

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.

Frankly, I am stunned by this.

Donald Trump sent dozens of tweets during the campaign blasting Hillary Clinton for using a private server to conduct government business. And he made many campaign speeches saying the same thing -- so many that his crowds began to chant "Lock Her Up"! It was more than obvious that Trump thought using a private server for government business was a terrible idea (and should be against the law).

Wasn't Ivanka a part of the campaign? Did she not read her father's tweets? Did she not listen to any of his speeches? Could she not hear the crowds chanting "Lock Her Up"? It is astounding that she would do the same thing Clinton did once becoming a part of the Trump administration.

But it gets worse. When Clinton used a private server to send government e-mails, it was not against federal law. She broke no law. But the Republican-controlled Congress fixed that by passing a law to make it illegal to use a private server for government business. That means Ivanka broke the law -- and really could be locked up!

That would be bad enough, but it turns out that Ivanka is not the only member of the Trump administration to use a private server for government business. Either members of the Trump administration are incredibly stupid, or they think laws and rules only apply to Democrats -- probably both.
