Ivanka Trump used a personal email account to send mails about government business

[Bill the Cat]

Bill, after advising her father in an unofficial capacity, Ivanka was appointed "Advisor to the President," and made a government employee, on March 29, 2017 - about 2 months after he took office.

And apparently, the "official business" emails were from before this appointment.

[Tassman]

Because Ivanka naively emailed a schedule to a nanny.

Government business. As in family schedules.

Hillary was Secretary of State who trafficked classified information through a secret unsecured private server that her training would have informed her was illegal. She even instructed her aides on how to "scrub" the emails of certain classification markings so they would get past automatic filters.

And let's not forget that she coached members of her staff on how to send classified information through her private server so she knew full well what she was doing was wrong.

So what? She's a Democrat. You got something against Democrats?

[Cow Poke]

It's from Breitbart, so it can't possibly be true, right?

But, just for the sake of argument, there's this...

That's just whataboutism, Tass.

Ivanka did not know she was doing anything wrong. Hillary did.

Seriously?

Half the country, including Ivanka's family, spent a year focusing on the fact that you're not allowed to use personal email accounts to conduct government business. Ivanka wasn't living in a cave on Mars during election year, so she knew.

Hillary is well-known to be severely technologically challenged. She'd taken so long to learn to use one email account on one device (for her work with the Clinton Foundation that used the Clinton Foundation email server) that she refused to try and learn to swap between accounts or use a second device. She's an old person who barely understands email, not some technological mastermind hacking the system.

but that's not what we learned. You can use personal email accounts in government business. If it is done correctly and not used to send classified information.
If you recall Colin Powell also used a private email address and Hillary tried to use him as an excuse for herself.

Seriously?

I haven't looked into this in any detail, Star - I simply posted the article for discussion.

You don't see a teesie weensie bit of difference between a SENIOR LEVEL CAREER POLITICIAN and an unpaid advisor?

Hillary is well-known to be severely technologically challenged.

I'm aware that's the role she played - I'm not convinced she knows more than she lets on.

You just made the case why she should never even be considered to be POTUS --- to sum up your statement - she's a dinosaur who is too old to get with the times, and refuses to do so.

Eh? That's not my understanding. What I took from the saga was that using a personal email account to conduct any govt business wasn't allowed.

If you recall Colin Powell also used a private email address and Hillary tried to use him as an excuse for herself.

Yes, because Powell's use of a private email address to conduct government business wasn't allowed. The main difference being that Colin Powell was an early-adopter and the government bureaucrats hadn't yet banned the practice quite so thoroughly in Powell's day.

What makes it potentially criminal is the passing of classified information on non-secure servers, and a practice of changing the headings to thwart the classification system, both of which Clinton did.

This claim is news to me, despite me following the controversy very closely throughout, so I suspect it isn't true. Can you link me to a mainstream source that documents this?

This is one of those things that people from polar opposite views are going to argue for ages - Comey pretty much laid out a solid case for indictment, then concluded with his infamous "no reasonable prosecutor...." summary.

Up to that point, even some of her faithful were thinking "she's going to jail".

The rules that Clinton violated did not require "intent", despite Comey's claim.

Here's a summary with which you can aggressively disagree.

And we can both find plenty of sources disputing these and others.

What I'm after is evidence for your claim that there was "a practice of changing the headings to thwart the classification system". Preferable from a mainstream source. I don't see anything in either link with regard to that claim.
