We lost count over how many times Donald Trump mentioned Hillary Clinton’s emails. Now, he may want to talk to his own daughter about how many times she used her personal, unsecured email to WRITE or COMMUNICATE about government business. The Washington Post broke this news Monday night.
Jared Kushner received much scrutiny last fall for using private email on government business. But White House officials determined Ivanka Trump had done it more often. https://t.co/YlP0wabu6p

The Washington Post reports:
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.
White House ethics officials learned of Trump’s repeated use of personal email when reviewing emails gathered last fall by five Cabinet agencies to respond to a public records lawsuit. That review revealed that throughout much of 2017, she often discussed or relayed official White House business using a private email account with a domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner.

Meanwhile after the story broke CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reported:
Spokesman for Ivanka says: “She did not create a private server in her house or office, there was never classified information transmitted, the account was never transferred or housed at Trump Organization, no emails were ever deleted…”
21/ Ivanka therefore is—more than almost any American—above the law. *Unlike Hillary*, there isn't an effective way to investigate her—and say what you like about Hillary, you have to admit that *no one* ever had *any* difficulty finding ways to investigate the *hell* out of her.
