Public record keeping laws.
Any public business that you conduct in government in general---and the Federal government in particular----there must be a PUBLIC record of. Both for matters of transparency to the public...as well as to facilitate the Congressional Oversight function.
E-mail correspsondences are considered part of that public business and subject to those record keeping laws. So the issue is not only one of security---and keeping classified information from being intercepted by our adversaries----its also a matter of not using private e-mail channels to conceal corrupt behavior or to side-step public record laws.
When the story first broke about Sec. Clinton it was common knowledge that Bush Adminstration officials---including Colin Powell---had used private e-mail serviers to communicate. Because the laws, and procedures on how to handle classified information had been slow to keep up with the changes in communication technology.
I said then that it was a NON issue in my mind that Sec. Powell had done it...and it was a non-issue in my mind that Sec. Clinton had done it...and it is a NON ISSUE in my mind that Ivanka Trump has done it. [b]This is clearly a PROCESS problem and not an ethics or LEGAL problem. [/b]
My postion on this issue has been NON-partisan and PRINCIPLED from the very beginning. But--like shit with Beghazi---the issue on the Right wasn't WHAT was done....but WHO did it. So it blossomed in to this enormous investigation that found no criminal wrong doing...and served no purpose but to tarnish Sec. Clinton the PRESIDENTIAL candidate...and facilitate Trumps winning the election.
And now----as expected----once its someone on the Right that's done the exact same thing....we're getting 10,000 rationalizations for why its "not a problem" when she breaks the law, but its an "outrage" when someone who's a Democrat does it.

There's a big difference between the two, Clinton held and sent classified info. Now, if it comes out that Ivanka sent classified emails from her private email address, then it's an issue. As of now, it appears to be scheduling info and that's it and if she kept the records then she didn't even break that one. She also didn't conveniently delete a ton of emails when subpoenaed. Clinton broke more than just the public info law and nothing came of it because Comey decided to read intent into the law even though it's not required. That's why the two aren't similar, and it doesn't take liking Trump or Ivanka to see that, just a little common sense and a lack of blind loyalty to the left.

Editado por Catty_Wampus22: 11/26/2018 4:28:01 PMWhat about Pence using an AOL account to conduct state business, getting hacked and not releasing all of the emails because some of them "the state considers them confidential and too sensitive to release to the public." 🤔🤔 Yet tweeting about Clinton I commend the FBI for reopening an investigation into Clinton's personal email server because no one is above the law.

Get after him. Especially if he mishandled classified info.

Editado por TheArtist: 11/22/2018 2:13:45 PMNo difference. The law is quite clear. Stop rationalizing. What she did or didn't do after the investigation began is not relevant to whether she broke the law. If you're going 85mph in a 65 mph zone? You're speeding. Why you were gong that fast isn't relevant. Neither is how cooperative you were with the officer who ticketed you. End of discussion.

Yeah, I just very clearly explained the one big difference here and your response shows how blinded by your allegiance to the left you are. Ignoring the fact that Hillary held and sent classified emails, broke the law and was only able to avoid prosecution because Comey decided to read intent into the law makes you look silly to the majority of people that are around the middle of the political spectrum. If it turns out that Ivanka held and sent classified info then they should prosecute her just like they should've done with Hillary.

How she did or didn’t behave during the investigation is irrelevant as to whether or not the law was broken. And we have no idea WHAT Invanka did or didn’t send because there has not been an investigation into this. We only have the Administration’s [i]version[/i] of what was sent..... [i]....and we know that the Trump White House NEVER lies.[/i] (Eye Roll....) The point is that the law says you don’t do public business through private e-mail accounts. Period. Which means that it either needs to be a problem for both or a problem for neither. I’m not interested in your excuses as to why it’s okay for your people to ignore the law but not okay for Democrats to ignore that same law. You are being a [i]hypocrite.[/i] I’m no more interested in prosecuting Invanka than I was in prosecuting Hillary. This is a PROCESS problem... and Comey handled his [i]discretion[/i] responsibly. And I’m willing to see Invanka treated the same way. Clearly you’re not.

You're wrong, and you just keep going and digging yourself in making yourself look worse and worse. You have no principles, that much is clear so I'm done with this. And by the way, loonies like you that ignore facts and want to bend reality to suit their bias are the reason that even though I line up left on the political spectrum, I will never associate myself with the Democrats because I see you loonies acting like this all the way up to the top of the party.
