“You don’t think that qualifies her as a Government Employee? And even if not, that doesn’t really matter.”

Of course it does. Her status as an advisor is informal and not invoked by her marriage contract with the president. The first lady did not sign a contract with the government, she is not an elected official nor is she an employee. In fact, the office of the first lady has never been codified or officially defined.

At this point, there is a loophole here and she really can’t be held responsible for any violations that would apply to a government employee such as hitlery.

If congress wants to pursue the issue, they could consider passing legislation and codifying the first lady’s role(spouse) and require an agreement between the first lady and the government. At least that would require them to go on the record with respect to the proper use of government e-mails. And of course, the same standard would have to apply to them as well.

Ivanka is a government employee, she just doesn’t have a salary.

She was made an employee because as an advisor to Trump she has access to classified data and there were ethics concerns.

We don’t know yet if she emailing classified data over her personal account.

She and her lawyer say no AND they also notified Congress long ago.

Hillary also insisted that she had no classified email on her server...

No you are just doing what “conservative inc” always done. Mindlessly whining at your own side about idiotic trivialities instead of getting off your asses and fighting the Left on anything.

This idiot whiner behavior is why “Conservative inc” has been the most impotent inept poltical movement in US History.

Did she talk ABOUT government things or did she conduct actual business like hiring, firing, submit contracts, relay government documents and the like. There is not a fine line the courts will agree.

I used my personal computer to prepare my Form 1040.

That’s government work, right?

Mueller's people will be at your door at 3:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Boy are you in trouble!
