Nick Merrill, former communications director for Hillary Clinton, boiled over on Wednesday, saying that while both Clinton and Ivanka Trump’s private email usage are “stupid scandals,” Trump should be investigated anyway due to “sheer hypocrisy.”
This is the daughter of a man who marched around the country telling people that Hillary Clinton should go to jail over her emails, even after our nation’s law enforcement agencies concluded she had broken exactly 0 laws. Ivanka Trump sat, smiled, & nodded complicitly throughout.

He also pointed out the difference between the situations, saying that while Clinton’s State Department emails could be accessed by the public under the Freedom of Information Act, Trump’s cannot as she is shielded by her White House position.

Maybe they can not be released through FOIA but what about the house intelligence committee releasing them after January? Should be no problem since the Princess claims there is no classified information in them. Can not wait for the administrations excuse for preventing that…
Also, it was not illegal when Clinton did it. As a direct result of the Clinton scandal, they made it illegal. So, Ivanka broke the law.
We should investigate Ivanka’s use of emails because there is a credible allegation that she actually broke the law.
Clinton using a Spox. Smart move.
Looks like the “could violate” is there to give a pass when it is necessary to use gmail in an emergency.
Kushner and others have used private emails for govt business, and they were busted too. What is disconcerting is that family attorney Lowell was the only one to review IT and JK emails to determine what was official and required archive. Presumably, the rest were deleted.
If only hypocrisy was a crime, Ivanka would be on death row…
