Former White House Ethics Chief Reveals 'Disturbing' Ivanka Trump Emails

Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser, was conducting government business from a private email account before she was employed by the government, according to records getting new attention this week.

Walter Shaub, former head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, highlighted two messages uncovered by the nonpartisan watchdog group American Oversight. He served in the ethics office for six months under then-President Barack Obama and resigned six months into the Trump presidency.

One of the messages Shaub shared on Twitter appeared to show Ivanka Trump conducting business with Education Secretary Betsy DeVos almost a month before she had an official role:

Another, which was from several days earlier, referred to a government official as her “chief of staff.”

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Well, let's say this is compounding the original transgression.

Ivanka should not have been using her private e-mail server before or during her so-called White House tenure, conducting government business.

This removes the Trump mantra of "Hillary's e-mails."

Either Ivanka is thrown out on her ass or they have to concur it's okay for her AND for Hillary.

2. Of course though, hypocrisy is religion to the GOP

They'll only double down - if they have the votes in the Senate to try.

7. Trump pressured staff to give her security clearance, they refused, he gave it anyway

She and her husband are yet more security risks, though not as much as her father, because he wants to be admired by foreign dictators, while they just want rich people to fawn over them:

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump pressured his then-chief of staff John Kelly and White House counsel Don McGahn to grant his daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump a security clearance against their recommendations, three people familiar with the matter told CNN.

The President's crusade to grant clearances to his daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, rankled West Wing officials.

While Trump has the legal authority to grant clearances, most instances are left up to the White House personnel security office, which determines whether a staffer should be granted one after the FBI has conducted a background check. But after concerns were raised by the personnel office, Trump pushed Kelly and McGahn to make the decision on his daughter and son-in-law's clearances so it did not appear as if he was tainting the process to favor his family, sources told CNN. After both refused, Trump granted them their security clearances.

The development comes on the heels of Thursday's New York Times report that President Trump ordered Kelly to grant Kushner a top secret security clearance despite concerns raised by intelligence officials. The President has denied he had any role in Kushner receiving a clearance.

[SergeStorms]

16. HER EMAILS! HER EMAILS!

LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! And I think we should have at least three years of investigations costing hundreds of millions of dollars to get to the bottom of this.

I used the smiley because I really don't give a shit. I didn't give a shit about Hillary's emails either, but the republiCAN'Ts sure did. It would be a colossal waste of money and time, just as it was with Hillary. Once again, the hypocrisy of the republiCAN'T party has no boundaries.

One of the new "Revelations" from Bolton's new book:

"Defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi to distract attention from Ivanka Trump using personal email."
