Republicans who lambasted Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server are dealing with a thorny issue: the use of private email by Jared Kushner and other White House staff for official business.
Clinton herself has leveled charges of hypocrisy against the GOP and President Trump, who labeled her Crooked Hillary on the campaign trail as the FBI investigated her email setup.
Congressional Democrats have called for an investigation, with Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, asking Kushner for information on his nongovernment accounts and private family domain. Cummings also demanded that Kushner preserve all official records in his possession.
While there are differences between what Clinton did, and what Kushner and other White House staff are accused to have done, the similarities are easy to see.
This will cause Democrats to howl
given how much Republicans pushed this issue, with good reason, said Doug Heye, a former communications director for the Republican National Committee.
The New York Times reported that at least six of President Trumps closest advisers among them former chief strategist Stephen Bannon and former chief of staff Reince Priebus occasionally used personal email for official White House work in addition to Kushner.

(23,344 posts)This is so frustrating. AND, where is the media on this? They helped spawn the Dotard by vilifying HRC over her emails. What a bunch of lying hypocrite assholes. I'm so weary of this. They destroyed HRC by their relentless negative coverage. They should be doing the same to Dotard and crew.
