IVANKA TRUMP USED A PERSONAL EMAIL ACCOUNT FOR GOVERNMENT WORK: EXCLUSIVE
Source: Newsweek
Ivanka Trump, the first daughter and adviser to the president, used a personal email address to communicate with a government official after her father took office, according to documents that the nonprofit American Oversight obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and shared exclusively with Newsweek.
The documents show that on February 28, Trumpidentifying herself as Ivanka Kushneremailed Linda McMahon, the administrator of the United States Small Business Administration, from a personal domain. At the time, Trump was operating inside the White House in a nonofficial capacity. She wrote that she wanted McMahons agency and her staff to explore opportunities to collaborate on issues related to womens entrepreneurship. She copied on the correspondence the government email addresses of two other federal employees, Dina Powell and Julie Radford.
Yet again we see that theres one rule for the Trump family and another for everyone else, Austin Evers, the executive director of American Oversight and a former senior counsel at the Department of State, said in a statement to Newsweek. Its simply breathtaking that both Ivanka and Jared Kushner would conduct government [work] on a personal email account after running a campaign centered on that very issue. The fact that they would brazenly ignore rules governing email use raises even more questions about their judgement and fitness to hold positions in the White House.

(62,444 posts)how could she think she could ever get away with this with the Republicans so dead set on stopping this?
Didn't she see what they did to Hillary Clinton? Did she think she could do the same thing and not get caught?
Can we expect Fox and the other corporate whores like Mornin' Joey to just haunt her?
IT'S THE EMAILS! IT'S THE EMAILS!
I kill me!

(9,426 posts)she is Princess Ivanka, with vast knowledge and experience in government affairs. She dispenses advice to women on working and raising children, two other subjects she knows very little about. The nannies take care of the kids, and "work" for her is not the same as for most women. Most of her day seems to be spent getting made up, hair fixed, shopping for clothing to WOW anyone her daddy is meeting with in the WH. She really should go home, raise her own kids before they get too attached to their nannies. I read that her husband has already deleted texts that he claimed were "personal" not related to his position. What a bungled up group of unqualified dolts we have in the WH.

Use personal email for government business - OK if you're Ivanka, Jared, Colin Powell, etc. Treasonous security breach if you're a Democrat, especially Clinton.
patronize hookers - OK if you're a Republican, career ending if you're Eliot Spitzer
corruption - OK if you're Trump and his family; give speech on Wall Street - huge corruption issue for any democrat.

(50,562 posts)You realize that we are going to, eventually, find out Donald Trump (the one who lost the election by 3 million votes and moved into the White House anyway, not his idiot bastard son) is using personal email accounts on a private server to conduct official business.
On edit: And when that happens, EVERYONE here needs to pick out a right-wing newspaper in a red area they don't live in, and send a letter to the editor.

Deplorable.

So, using private email can be a way to get around FOIA, and then the interactions never become part of the public record.
Wonder who the Trump kids are talking to that they don't want us to know about...
