Ivanka Trump said she didn’t know using private email for government business was illegal
Ivanka Trump sent over 100 official emails through her private acct, even after her father condemned Hillary for the same.

https://votebluenews.com/2020/05/14/ivanka-trump-said-she-didnt-know-using-private-email-for-government-business-was-illegal/

For most of 2017, Ivanka Trump used her personal email account to correspond with White House aides and Cabinet members, the Washington Post reported in 2018. The president’s daughter has explained away the misconduct by saying she simply did not know it was a potential violation of federal records law.

Nearly 100 emails were sent from Ivanka Trump that discussed official government business. Ivanka’s representatives maintain that many of those emails were in response to people contacting Ivanka first. Ivanka claims she did not know it was a rule, despite her father and his administration harping on former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for a similar issue.

Sources told the Post that Ivanka wasn’t looped in on White House emails reminding employees not to use their private accounts. Mirijanian, a spokesman for Abbe Lowell and Ivanka Trump’s ethics lawyer, told the Post that “while transitioning into government, after she was given an official account but until the White House provided her the same guidance they had given others who started before she did, Ms. Trump sometimes used her personal account, almost always for logistics and scheduling concerning her family,”

Anyone coming on board at the White House would receive training and info on record keeping rules on their first day. There is no way in hell you would come in for your job, be issued an email address, and not be told for a year how to handle official communiques.

And her pleading ignorance when this was literally the central issue that got the man who fantasizes about having sex with her elected is just another layer of bullshit.

I’m glad this hasn’t been forgotten. I haven’t forgotten it and I hope the next AG when we get rid of Barr remembers it too. But I expect this to be covered by blanket pardons on drumpf’s last day in office.

There are things that happen very publicly, that educates everyone. Ivanka, if she's like her lying father, knows that private emails were illegal, because that was the rally cry for Trumpers, "But, her emails." Simply put, Ivanka is willfully ignorant or just plain lying.

it was not only NOT illegal for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, her actions didn't even break State Department rules in place for employees at other levels.

(Btw, there's still no indication Bill's high-security server was ever hacked, unlike the State Department's. Somehow, I think they'd be sure to let us know. )

I'd rather that it didn't come with a chaser of distaste, though.
