But,But Her Emails...Kushner used private email to conduct White House business..

Fucking bunch of hypocrites...

Presidential son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner has corresponded with other administration officials about White House matters through a private email account set up during the transition last December, part of a larger pattern of Trump administration aides using personal email accounts for government business.

Kushner uses his private account alongside his official White House email account, sometimes trading emails with senior White House officials, outside advisers and others about media coverage, event planning and other subjects, according to four people familiar with the correspondence. POLITICO has seen and verified about two dozen emails.

Mr. Kushner uses his White House email address to conduct White House business,” said Abbe Lowell, a lawyer for Kushner in a statement Sunday. “Fewer than 100 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.”

Aides who have exchanged emails with Kushner on his private account since Trump took office in January include former chief of staff Reince Priebus, former chief strategist Steve Bannon, Gary Cohn, and spokesman Josh Raffel according to emails described to or shown to POLITICO. In some cases those White House officials have emailed Kushner’s account first, said people familiar with the messages.
till, Kushner and Ivanka Trump set up their private family domain late last year before moving to Washington from New York, according to people with knowledge of events as well as publicly available internet registration records.His representatives declined to detail the server or security measures on it.

People familiar with the account say it was primarily set up for Kushner’s personal communications, but he has used it to communicate with acquaintances outside the White House about matters relating to Trump and the administration, according to people who have received messages, as well as with his White House colleagues.

Despite all the exchanges he had with foreign nations and failed to report that information on his 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc, etc versions of his Security Clearance application, it hasn't stopped him from still maintaining access to secured information. When will these self-serving grifters be gone for good????????

on her application for a security clearance, like Kushner did many, many times, and has resubmitted his clearance package at least four times because he keeps recalling other foreign nationals he failed to report each of those four times. And we're not talking about one or two people, he has updated his form to include dozens of foreign nationals he previously failed toort.

I don't know about you, but what part of "Have you had any "contacts with foreign nationals" does he not understand? I hate to tell you and Jared this, but because he's lied in the past, the questions get harder from this point forward with the FBI, not easier.

Maybe I will and give them to friends and family for Christmas gifts. It should be considered a medical expense since it is preventative healthcare for mental illness/anxiety as well as heart attacks and strokes.
