Trey Gowdy Weighs In On The Ivanka Trump Email Fiasco

For those who missed it, right before Thanksgiving, news broke that Ivanka Trump used her personal email for government business. However, none of the emails contained classified information.

How about this: Everyone STOP USING PERSONAL EMAILS FOR GOVERNMENT BUSINESS, PERIOD? Seriously. How difficult can that be? I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on. I don’t care if you’re the president’s daughter. DON’T DO IT.

I’m with Gowdy on this one.

“I am concerned anytime any president pre-judges the outcome of an investigation,” Gowdy said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “Congress has a responsibility to make sure that the records and the Presidential Records Act is complied with, and that’s true no matter who the person is.”

Yep. Daughter or not. Although there’s an important thing to note: As Gowdy points out, the only obvious CRIMINAL act would be transmitting classified information, which– as far as we know– didn’t happen.

The Republican lawmaker noted that it’s a crime to divulge classified information, but using personal email to conduct public business on its own is not, though it breaks with regulations.

A lawyer for Ivanka Trump said she mainly used the personal account to handle logistics and scheduling matters.

It’s not NEARLY the same thing as Hillary Clinton’s crooked crimes, but conservatives need to be careful here. Don’t be hypocrites. We should ALL agree that everyone needs to get it together and STOP USING PERSONAL EMAILS FOR GOVERNMENT BUSINESS.

Goodness.
