What happened to Ivanka's e-mails?

[Takket]

A while back she was caught red handed illegally using a private account to send government e-mails. In violation of the very laws put in place by angry Republicans because Hillary’s “abuses” were the worst crimes ever committed against the USA.

Now some time later and the fact a crime was committed has simply been forgotten and ignored. No arrests. No subpoenas. no calls for investigation. No inquiries. Nothing.

How was she allowed to just walk away???

1. I believe Dems will start an investigation once they take control of the House.

Unless they get distracted by something else.

[machoneman]

19. Yes, they WILL investigate! We need to start screaming out loud: "LOCK HER UP"!!!!

She was a dummy to do so btw given her Dad's propensity to accuse Clinton of everything but mass murders!

[The Genealogist]

2. Is she a Democrat?

Nope. So, Republicans don't care. They only care about rich people making money.

[PaulX2]

23. And Holding Onto Power At Any Cost

Screw democracy Republicans always say.

[kwijybo]

3. It's ok if you are a republican

Repeat that everytime you see a republican do something wrong, and you'll know how they will react

[FakeNoose]

4. I can't wait until she gets fired ... oh wait ...

[Scarsdale]

24. He is so repulsive.

His so-called wealth is the only thing his type of woman finds attractive. The kind of woman who must be paid after each "date"

[Sherman A1]

5. I hope that it doesn't get lost

In the volumes of questionable activities to be investigated by the Democratic House.

[ProudLib72]

6. Because Pelosi is not holding a rally every week and chanting

"Lock her up!"

I'd say we are fortunate that isn't happening. What counts is what happens after Jan 3rd. Speak softly and carry a big stick with a nail in it.

[Pantagruel]

7. Not to mention

the self-admitted sexual predator with self-admitted mob connections was using an unsecured cell in the WH to talk to friends.

[nature-lover]

8. Is he still using it? Will his official phone allow tweeting? Would like to know.

9. January 3 is just around the corner.

"The president's family is not above the law, and there are serious questions that Congress should immediately investigate," said Austin Evers, executive director of American Oversight. "Did Ivanka Trump turn over all of her emails for preservation as required by law? Was she sending classified information over a private system?"

“For more than two years, President Trump and senior leaders in Congress have made it very clear that they view the use of personal email servers for government business to be a serious offense that demands investigation and even prosecution, and we expect the same standard will be applied in this case,” the group added in a statement.

But even as Ivanka Trump’s use of a personal email account has drawn accusations of hypocrisy from Democrats, Cummings warned that he didn’t want any investigation to get out of hand, as he said happened with Clinton.

“My goal is to prevent this from happening again — not to turn this into a spectacle the way Republicans went after Hillary Clinton,” he said, pledging that “my main priority as Chairman will be to focus on the issues that impact Americans in their everyday lives.”

10. The Difference on the Amount of Reporting Between Hillary's and Ivanka's Emails is Astounding

A double standard in the M$M, perhaps?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. say it ain't so!

Every damned day.

At least the non-tv press eventually 'fessed up:

The Hillary Clinton email story is out of control

The Squalid Case Against Hillary and Her Emails

The real Clinton email scandal is that a bullshit story has dominated the campaign

I looked at 2 years of front pages. Trump's Muslim ban got far less attention than Clinton’s emails.

(Fascinating, eye-opening charts in that last one).

[regnaD kciN]

27. Well, the fact is, Ivanka is neither SoS nor a presidential nominee...

...so that undoubtedly plays at least apart in the difference in coverage.

[BadgerMom]

11. Jan. 3 is coming.

And I can’t wait.

[hostalover]

13. Nor can I!!!

[OMGWTF]

12. IOKIYAR

[usaf-vet]

14. LOCK HER UP!!! Right?

LOCK HER UP!!!
LOCK HER UP!!!

[machoneman]

20. Yes, Yes, YES!!!! n/m

n/m

[SayItLoud]

15. Who will be the Democratic Issa or Gowdy? Please stand up now...

[Mr. Ected]

16. Maybe because Democrats are not vapid and wouldn't chant "Lock Her Up" until due process is applied

And because we had no legislative power with which to investigate the potential crimes.

Until proven, there is no honest way to compare Hillary's alleged abuse of a private account and Ivanka's. Once adjudicated, that horse could be beaten loud and clear - but by then, GOP counters with "that's yesterday's news".

Our accusations can never be unsubstantiated, because we live in the real world. The right, however, is not required to be circumspect, as their adherents have absolutely zero moral compass, and only seek victory against a perceived opponent.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. But, but she's just a humble coffee girl...

delivering cuppas in stiletto heels to the groundskeepers and cooks.......

[watoos]

18. I think that Ivanka is the dirtiest,

of Trump's kids, leaving out Barron, he hasn't had time to learn the "ropes" yet.

[Achilleaze]

21. Spoiled brat republicans deserve equal justice

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. link to text of the law

5 U.S. Code § 3110 - Employment of relatives; restrictions
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/3110

[former9thward]

29. The law was amended in 1978.

S.2640 — 95th Congress (1977-1978) Sponsored by Senator Abraham Ribicoff D-CT

https://www.congress.gov/bill/95th-congress/senate-bill/2640

The law authorized the President to make White House Office appointments ‘without regard to any other provision of law,"

The law was passed because President Carter wanted to appoint his wife to Chair a Commission on Mental Illiness.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. the summary linked shows nothing about relatives

I can't find anything in the summary that amends the part of Title 5 about relatives. It also says, "Digital text is not available." Crap.

Know any references where that would be spelled out? Thanks.

[scarytomcat]

22. republicans in charge

that is how

[torius]

28. Same thing that happened to the Family Leave Act she "guaranteed"

Forgotten in the ghastly destruction of it all.
