The House Expands Investigation Into Ivanka Trump Email Crimes
The House Oversight Committee is expanding its investigation into the Trump administrations email crimes and failure to comply with federal record-keeping laws.
According to a release from the House Oversight Committee:
After hearing no response for months, Cummings wrote again to the White House on March 21, 2019, conveying more troubling information about apparent violations of the Presidential Records Act by Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Steve Bannon, and K.T. McFarland.
In addition, the report issued by Special Counsel Robert Mueller stated that Mr. Bannon admitted that he regularly used his personal Blackberry and personal email for work-related communications (including those with [Erik] Prince), and he took no steps to preserve these work communications.
The purpose of this investigation is to determine why White House officials used non-official email accounts, texting services, and encrypted applications for official business; why they failed to forward records sent or received on non-official accounts to their official accounts within 20 days as required by federal law; whether there were specific topics that White House officials sought to conceal; and whether legislative changes should be made to prevent similar violations in the future.

Ivanka Trump has been illegally using private email for years
It is known that Ivanka Trump spent all of 2017 sending hundreds of illegal emails from the White House. Trump immediately blamed Hilary Clinton for his daughters email scandal, and the Trump administration has been stonewalling the investigation since before Democrats took back the House.
House Oversight Democrats are expanding their investigation in response to the Trump administration complying with no requests over the previous six months.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner broke the law.
With the state of New York breathing down their necks, the last thing the Trumps needed was another investigation into their illegal behavior.

...the amount of fun all of us are going to have at the Trump Bund's expense if it turns out emails are what takes them down.

Either way, "I love it". This isn't a nothingburder.

I'm' afraid jail is too much to ask, righteous as that would be. Exile isn't an option these days, so if the press could just ignore them beyond the basics...
