Late yesterday the Washington Post breathlessly interrupted our musings with the most important news of the century! Ivanka Trump used personal email to conduct government business for over a YEAR!

Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, many of them in violation of federal records rules, according to people familiar with a White House examination of her correspondence.

And immediately the reaction ramped up to eleventy!

The immediate reaction from the Left is: She’s the absolute worst!! FIRE HER AND PUT HER IN JAIL!

Ivanka Trump’s father was elected in part by whipping up crowds into saying “Lock her up!” as he talked about Clinton’s email server. But FOIAs show Ivanka Trump emailed with commerce secretary Ross, others, after she was a WH official. https://t.co/JMyVUs3Z7R

Oh. Ok. She’s toast! Right?

Yep, there’s quite a difference between the two headlines. Question. Has Ivanka set up multiple private servers in her bathrooms? Nope, that was Hillary.

Do NOT get me wrong. Ivanka should’ve absolutely known better! There has been story after story after story of government officials at any and all levels getting canned because they used private emails to conduct government business. However, all of those employees had been thoroughly briefed on what the rules are regarding government and private email use. Was Ivanka briefed in time? Good question.

In a statement, Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Lowell, acknowledged that the president’s daughter occasionally used her private email before she was briefed on the rules, but he said none of her messages contained classified information.

“While transitioning into government, after she was given an official account but until the White House provided her the same guidance they had given others who started before she did, Ms. Trump sometimes used her personal account, almost always for logistics and scheduling concerning her family,” he said in a statement.

Mirijanian said Ivanka Trump turned over all her government-related emails months ago so they could be stored permanently with other White House records.

Oh wait. She’d already turned in her government emails? Including those that were conducted on her personal email? And did so without a subpoena or government investigation? Wow.

However, there are those who just can’t Let It Go.

If you're one of those news organizations that treated Clinton's private emails like they were a national emergency, the solution isn't to treat Ivanka's private emails like they're also a national emergency—rather, it's to acknowledge that you kinda fucked up on Clinton.

First of all, Nate STILL doesn’t understand how he got 2016 wrong. Hell, he doesn’t even understand how he got half or more of 2018 wrong! That said, he’s still all in for Hillary whether he’ll admit it or not. Which is why we have his attempt at awkward deflection regarding Hillary and her email/bathroom server/wipe with a cloth …please ignore the elephant in the room gambit.

Did Ivanka destroy them ahead of a congressional investigation? Was she a cabinet member? Did she mishandle classified information?

Hellooooo NATE!! Any response? Bueller? Bueller?

And…crickets.

Make no mistake, I am not defending Ivanka. Quite frankly, she’s incredibly savvy and should’ve known better than to use personal email. In fact, as soon as she was notified that she’d be in place, she should’ve been put on a government email with all rules/protocols drilled into her head before hitting send.

And about all those heinous emails of Ivanka’s, the Washington Post buries this DEEP into the story.

• Emails in early 2017 were NOT subject to WH records rules
• There were fewer that 100 emails Ivanka used to discuss government business
• And for several who reached out, her response was to direct them to her new official WH email address

Contrast that with Hillary erasing thousands of emails and putting us all at risk on multiple levels.

Using personal emails for government business could violate the Presidential Records Act, which requires that all official White House communications and records be preserved as a permanent archive of each administration. It can also increase the risk that sensitive government information could be mishandled or hacked, revealing government secrets and risking harm to diplomatic relations and secret operations.

Here’s the deal folks:

Ivanka Trump’s emails never contained classified info

Hillary’s emails contained classified info

Ivanka handed over all her emails

Hillary deleted over 30,000

Ivanka doesn’t have a bathroom server

Hillary used Bleachbit on her bathroom server

Ivanka and team took ownership of their mistakes

And …wishful thinking on everyone’s parts.

Hillary is working the country wondering ‘What Happened’ and the media just shrugs when the topic of her government email abuse surfaces.

But as soon as there is a whiff of something regarding anyone in the Trump Administration? JAIL THEM! is the battle cry!

In the meantime, what did Hillary’s bathroom servers know and when?
