Ivanka Trump used personal email for government work
AP via Yahoo ^ | 11/20 | Associated Press

Posted on 11/20/2018 5:46:52 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and a top White House adviser, sent hundreds of emails about government business from a personal email account last year, The Washington Post reported Monday.

The emails were sent to White House aides, Cabinet members and Ivanka Trump's assistants, many in violation of public records rules, the paper said. President Donald Trump mercilessly criticized his 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, for using a private email server during her time as secretary of state, labeling her "Crooked Hillary" and saying she belonged in jail.

The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the email use, but a spokesman for Ivanka Trump's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, didn't dispute the report.

"While transitioning into government... Ms. Trump sometimes used her private account, almost always for logistics and scheduling concerning her family," said the spokesman, Peter Mirijanian.

Surely Ivanka didn’t intend to be criminal?

This is the point and one of my biggest complaints about this administration. Unforced errors. They are constantly giving the enemy fodder. The enemy will look for a create enough on their own. We don’t need to hand them easy items on platters.

Agreed. It makes one also worry a bit more as to whether the offspring have been careful enough with the separation of government and business.

She should have had a government account for the first minute that she was emailing about government business.

IIRC she was at first trying to be involved while not being counted as a government employee, then she ended up taking that designation, but not being paid.

I wonder how that and this issue are intertwined.

Dear Moron Media

What official position does Ivaka hold in the US Government?

What Security Clearance does Ivaka hold?

It is this sort of infantile hysteric desperation to manufacture false moral equivalences to avoid EVER holding ANY Democrat accountable that indicate we do not have any “Journalists” left in the US. We have shameless propaganda whores for the Democrat Party pretending to be “Journalists”

Despicable garbage, an deep unalterable stain on the Washington Post's journalistic creditably

Ummm, I believe her title is something like “Sr. Advisor to the President” and as such, I suspect that comes with a pretty high security clearance. Otherwise, how can she capably advise him?

This is the President of the United States she’s advising! Not some cut out Jr. CEO somewhere.

Geez, have we become so blind to objectivity around here to not realize this is an unforced amateur mistake.

Well, I happen to like Ivanka. She has impressed me whenever I’ve heard her speak.

Don Jr. on the other hand, I think is an absolute moron.

This really is beyond desperate. She’s not a government employee or even a contractor so she doesn’t work for the government, so how can she do government work?

Wrong

What position did Ivaka hold in the US Government during the Transition?

SHAMELESS and Demented are the nicest things that can be said about this idoicy.

While transitioning into government... Ms. Trump sometimes used her private account, almost always for logistics and scheduling concerning her family," said the spokesman, Peter Mirijanian

She’s Sr. Advisor to the POTUS. You don’t think that qualifies her as a Government Employee? And even if not, that doesn’t really matter. She’s got to be in the know or she would never be able to advise him capably.

This wasn’t during the transition, that is the spin word that her spokesman used for her involvement early in the admin.

Jeesh!

Don’t expect your habitual poltical treason to be delt with kindly.

If nothing else, the last 2 years have shown we are at war.

You want to play Lord Haw Haw or Toyko Rose for the DNC that is your right.

It is also our right to hold you accountable for you poltical stupidity.

It is not principal your are standing on, it is petulance because your choice lost the 2016 GOP Primary.

Get off your ass, quit petulantly sniping your own side 24-7-365 and get in the fight.

I used my personal computer to prepare my Form 1040.

That’s government work, right?
