Goodlatte: 'It's awfully tough' for Ivanka Trump to comply with email standards

Goodlatte: ‘It’s awfully tough’ for Ivanka Trump to comply with email standards

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/26/bob-goodlatte-ivanka-trump-emails-hillary-clinton-1017364

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), said on Monday that it was “awfully tough” for government officials such as Ivanka Trump to comply with agency standards for secure communications when sending emails.

“When things like this come up, it’s important people understand, they need to make sure they’re doing what they can,” Goodlatte said during an interview on CNN.

“And it’s awfully tough, as everyone knows, when you’re sending emails about a lot of different things to make sure that you’re doing it according to the rules in the White House or wherever you’re doing it,” he added.

Goodlatte also suggested that President Donald Trump’s daughter’s use of a personal email account to conduct government business — first reported by POLITICO last year — was “very different” from the private email server Hillary Clinton employed during her time as secretary of State.

Ivanka Trump is using an unsecure, personal e-mail account; Hillary Clinton was using a private server that showed no evidence whatever of being hacked (unlike government servers).

Poor little Ivanka can’t figure that out? She sits in her office all day sending out emails. It is all so confusing. Worthless piece of entitled tackiness.
