Yes, agreed...IT IS A NOTHING BURGER! Powell did it, so did Condi Rice.
The legality of this situation was brought up and questioned by Trump, who, in his own loveable way, exaggerated the seriousness of the emails Hillary communicated with.

In other words, it was he who put the legality of the practice in the forefront. And now, ironically so, his family are doing exactly the same thing. What hypocrites! And in case you or any of our illustrious RWED members care to persist on Hillary's guilt in the matter; remember the FBI investigated and found nothing illegal in the thousands of emails. Otherwise she would be locked up; as would Jared and company, if ever it was found to have been handled in an illegal manner. Also, all it takes is one illegal or mishandled email to be charged, convicted and locked up.

Now think carefully before you respond.

Here's the full statement from Kushner's attorney, Abbe Lowell:

"Mr. Kushner uses his White House email address to conduct White House business. Fewer than a hundred emails from January through August were either sent to or returned by Mr. Kushner to colleagues in the White House from his personal email account. These usually forwarded news articles or political commentary and most often occurred when someone initiated the exchange by sending an email to his personal, rather than his White House, address. All non-personal emails were forwarded to his official address and all have been preserved in any event."

Maybe NPR was again fishing for gullible imbiciles, and reeled another one in.



It is curious.

I can't imagine that the article didn't say that. How do you butcher a simple cut and paste job unless you were doing it intentionally?


That would mean the "biggest point" of the article the OP posted either a big nothing burger or a typo. Either way, somebody just got punkd.

It's like being a "little" pregnant.

Fewer than 100 e-mails in total.
Not like the 10's of 1000's that Hillary destroyed.
Not a " personal server ", but merely 1 account.

And he's certainly not the head of a Cabinet level positon, while trading pay-for-play favors with heads of state or large international corporations.

Like Hillary.

...to conduct illegal Secretary of State cash transactions, right? That would be different.


Yeah, she gets away with murder that woman. It reminds me of an old James Cagney flick - Never Steal Anything Small, 1959. Imagine, all those millions and never ever getting caught. Cagney would be proud.

You gotta admit, the woman is a proverbial "Bonnie," and all done without a single shot fired. Now that's how you steal millions fellow travelers. Untraceable, unmarked bills.

You misunderstand, SGG.

The quote the OP put in the article was that he used a White House email address to conduct White House business.

If that's the case... I don't see what the issue is.


I don't think anybody in any government position should be using their work email addresses to conduct personal business. It just goes to show the hubris of these people that work in the public sector.

There was no way in hell that I was going to use the company email to send personal messages at my last good job. It was a well known fact that all emails sent within the company were subject to monitoring and that some people had been fired simply for sending "inappropriate" things. One of the managers had been fired while I worked there for sending one of these things to a female co-worker. They were friends. She didn't go to anybody and complain, and actually she was really messed up about it when he was fired. It was probably some random check that was done on emails that got him... or maybe somebody had it out for him for some reason...


I agree that anybody using their work emails in any public sector position for personal use should be punished.


Hillary did a lot more than that though. Assuming that all was done here was sending a personal email with the work account, trying to equate one to the other is not a valid argument.

In my (govt) job, it's against policy to use your (govt-provided) email for personal business.

I have to say, I heard a bit of this on NPR, the part that I heard was "a hundred emails" "mostly to establish communication" and at that point I stopped listening. It sounded like a big nothing-burger, even on NPR.

I started this thread to highlight the hypocrisy of some here. I knew it would be present in their responses. It shows they are not interested in facts but instead in promoteing a double standard.

Mission accomplished.

Oh, THUGR, do you mean the double standard where people get apoplectic about less than a hundred emails ... because The law is the law! (not even sure any laws were broken*) .... but fail to criticize Hillary for much worse? (Yanno, like "wiping" a server after being subpoenaed.)

You mean THAT double standard?

Yes, you have indeed demonstrated it!

Not only that, you demonstrated that your reading comprehension is STILL not up to par!


* What I got out of the article was ... "All non-personal emails were forwarded to his official address." In other words, somebody sends you an email to the wrong address. You direct them to the correct address and forward their email to the correct address. Sounds like good protocol to me.

The only mission that would have been accomplished is proving that anybody else who agrees with you here is a reactionary hypocrite as well.
