Senate Homeland Security chairman requests briefing on Ivanka Trump emails

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to the White House on Tuesday requesting a briefing on Ivanka Trump's usage of her personal email to discuss government business.

Johnson, who chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, asked White House Counsel Emmet Flood to brief him on the potential federal record-keeping requirements breach.

In the letter, Johnson mentioned emailing the White House on Feb. 2017 about "the importance of using official government email accounts for official business," and a Sep. 2017 letter he sent to McGahn after reports that six White House members may have used personal accounts.

Johnson requested that a timeline of Ivanka Trump's employment history with the White House and details on the quantity and content of emails sent from her personal account to be presented to his committee.

The letter set a Dec. 7 deadline for the briefing.

1. Just me or do you think they are trying to "investigate" this ahead of

The Democratic House in January and hope their sham results will scuttle this?

2. Definitely. I can't believe idiot Johnson even has the smarts to try this

to try to make him seem like a moderate with the shifting tide that surfaced in Wisconsin.

That he won over Russ Feingold is to our eternal shame.

3. I remeber when the whole Clinton Scandle broke about her email server... :)

I was deep in the military... Email servers were a new creature... The fact that she had an email server was like COOL... she's got one...

We as IT professionals were unaware... So I have to say... Clinton's email BS was just that... BS...

Ivanka's.... The precedence's were set... She should have known better..

4. Ooh! Furrowed brows

Maybe a sternly worded letter of concern. Real action? Nah!
