A top House Democrat started an investigation Monday into White House senior adviser Jared Kushners use of a private email account for official business, asking the presidents son-in-law to preserve all his communications and turn over his list of contacts and other records. In a letter to Mr. Kushner, Rep. Elijah Cummings, Maryland Democrat and ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said it is unclear from recent press reports whether he complied with a federal law requiring White House employees to forward any private emails pertaining to official business to their government email account. As if to justify his inquiry, Mr. Cummings noted that Republicans members of Congress expressed shock and outrage when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used a personal email account. Mr. Kushners lawyer acknowledged Sunday that he has occasionally used a private email account for correspondence with fellow administration officials. He said fewer than 100 emails from January through August were sent to or returned by Mr. Kushner to colleagues in the White House from his personal account. Using a personal email account is legal, as long as the government official sends the correspondence to his or her government email account within 20 days a law that was amended in 2014 after Mrs. Clintons notorious use of a private email server in office, which contributed to Mr. Trumps accusations of Crooked Hillary and campaign

Cummings is a thoroughly corrupt, morally bankrupt, full-thickness bigot who hates white people and will be deterred by nothing in his venomous assaults on America.
This is the same black turd that had no problem with Hillary’s private server. Unfortunately, we in the rest of the country must put up with this dumbasses hypocrisy and stupidity because he is in Congress. What a pathetic individual.
I think they do know the difference.
They intentionally try to conflate the two as a way of making Hillary's criminal activity seem innocent or something commonly done by her critics.
And to create talking points for the ignoramus demographic.
It's just a variation of the way they always try to conflate immigration and illegal immigration.
I guess journalists do not know the difference between a personal account and a personal server.
No they don’t.
More disturbingly, I was listening to a podcast where there was a clip from some technology bigwig in the FBI where the guy kept pronouncing the word “IPs” as “EYE-PEE-ESS” instead of “EYE-PEES”. He clearly had no idea what the acronym meant.
They are hypocrites. No problem with Hillary using a private server in their opinion. But Kushner sending a few emails on his private account merits prosecution.
He couldn’t convert a decimal IP into binary with pen and paper if his life depended on it.
Slow down, Bubba. Start with Hellary’s private email.
“Hopefully, he has his own private server and destroys everything quickly. Checkmate.”
What I would like to see is him turn over all of the 100 emails which no doubt are your basic, boring stuff. And then point out that 86 of them are also on his government email.
“OH!!!! What are you trying to hide in those remaining 14!!??? Why are you obstructing the Justice Department’s inquiries!!!!????”
“Nothing to hide. They are from the last two weeks and haven’t been transferred over yet. I have 20 days. Here - this is the last one from four days ago - “Thanks for letting me speak at your sub-committee meeting. The transportation bill is very critical and we all need to be on board.”
Yes, Cummings.
