A top House Democrat started an investigation Monday into White House senior adviser Jared Kushner’s use of a private email account for official business, asking the president’s son-in-law to preserve all his communications and turn over his list of contacts and other records.

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. Kushner’s 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.

Uh, no sir - she used a private, unprotected server highly vulnerable to hacking, putting our national security secrets at risk and therefore our national security itself, repeatedly lied about sending and receiving highly sensitive and classified material on this unsecured server, etc. If she had used a free yahoo or gmail account it would have been more secure that what she had been using as they have full time techs monitoring the security of their systems.

I keep on reading different versions.

Did Ivanka use a personal account or a personal server?

I guess journalists do not know the difference between a personal account and a personal server.

He also was directing the iRS to go after certain people while he had the nerve to sit on the investigating committee. I’m a little fuzzy on the details, but I do remember something like this about him.

Please refresh my memory.....does Kushner have a security clearance? Were his communications to and from the WH classified? I WISH our DOJ had a spine and would go after the actual criminals of the previous Admin.....NOW!
