A senior Democratic lawmaker has opened an investigation into Jared Kushner's use of a private email account to conduct US government business.

Congressman Elijah Cummings penned a letter to the president's son-in-law and senior adviser requesting that he preserve all of his personal emails.

Mr Cummings quoted from the Republican investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server to justify the request.

"The public has a right to access public records," Mr Cummings wrote.

"The public has a right to certainty that no classified or sensitive information was placed at risk of compromise," Mr Cummings wrote, quoting Republican Trey Gowdy's letter to Mrs Clinton's legal team on 19 March 2015.

"Your actions in response to the preservation request and the information you provide in response to this letter will help determine the next steps in this investigation," the Maryland congressman wrote to Mr Kushner, a former real estate investor.

Keep that investigation going for years.

Can’t believe he still has his security clearance.

 

[freethoughtbubble]

Quoting their own words back at them must be so gratifying.

 

[Draper]

Ahahahaha

it must be.

too bad republicans don't care that republicans did it.

My Twitter feed is also saying that Ivanka used her private email as well. I'm still waiting for a website that I recognize to publish this information.

[Surfinn]

This sounds oddly familiar

Only there was actually some shady ass shit happening here

 

[louiedog]

Is Sunday's Last Week Tonight going to just be 30 minutes of clips featuring Republicans talking about how important email security is, but cut around the mentions of Hillary?

Oh, life, you can be full of so many ironies

Oh, life, you can be full of so many ironies

The only way this gets any better is if Flynn also did it

 

[Cybit]

Amazing. The karma on this is going to be good.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Lol, brilliant!

 

[Flo_Evans]

This is dumb. You can’t spend a year defending private emails them be all “gotcha!”

You can’t call republicans hypocrites if you defended Hillary and support this.

But her emails?!

They can at least investigate. The main problem with what the Republicans did is that they refused to accept the results of multiple investigations. I think it was totally fair to have an initial investigation into Hillary's emails.

wut.

We were calling it bullshit cause they keep re investigating it. Not that it was investigated.

turn over the same stone 100 times and its still the same.

therefore dont turn over other stones? wut

 

[Gnome Scat]

Like poetry.

I think the issue was them not accepting the results (there wasn't shit).

 

[Surfinn]

I think the problem is that

Like, if you turn on Fox News TODAY, they are still relitigating her emails. They refused to accept that the FBI found nothing in their investigation. Not to mention the contexts being completely different (ie there is actual evidence/multiple instances of serious wrongdoing with dozens of Trump's admin officials).

 

[Zubz]

Oh, life, you can be full of so many ironies

It's not really irony if it's not unexpected. I'd just call this your average, ordinary, every day hypocrisy.

... That is giving our national secrets to a Russian stooge who still has security clearance.

No sane person defended it. Even Hilary said it was a mistake.

Uh didn't every single person say it was a mistake? Where people disagreed is whether she should be prosecuted criminally. I don't think kushner should be going to jail for this and I don't think democrats are hypocrites for calling for an investigation

 

[Stinkles]

Did you bump your head? That’s not what happened.

If they find nothing incriminating in his emails but keep investigating over and over again then you will have a point.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I cannot wait to see the anti-Hilary " EMAILS" crowd's reaction on this.

This is dumb. You can't spend a year defending private emails them be all ”gotcha!"

You can't call republicans hypocrites if you defended Hillary and support this.

Or, you can say it's hypocritical for them to resist and claim a pass on this, after they escalated the flames on the whole issue to begin with.

 

[Master Yoshi]

 

[RinsFury]

Jail them all, Ivanka included.

 

[blugbox]

I don't think many people were defending her use of a private email. That was dumb of her. She said so herself. I think people were concerned about classified info, which is still the issue here as well.

I'm late as always. I'm sure you get the idea haha

 

[Fisty]

But... his emails?

Well, I guess no tables can be turned. Show's over.

 

[foxuzamaki]

it feels so good

Make Kushner and his pals squirm, DNC.

 

[Gutek]

Dems suck at slander and propaganda.

 

[Malvolio]

No wonder they had to ax Comey.

 

[Abstrusity]

Dems suck at slander and propaganda.

Well then we'd better fucking get good at it real quick, before t hey start just killing us in the streets or mass arresting us

Spoiler

oh wait

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

You’d get laughed out of the writers room for this shit lol

 

[JABEE]

If you’re doing this shit, you’re hiding something.

The public should have access to communications made as a public official.

His name is on the letterhead, but didn't sign the letter. Did get a CC, though.

Both signed the generic oversight letter sent on the same day to McGahn: https://oversight.house.gov/wp-cont...Gahn-WH-Presidential-Records-Act-due-10-9.pdf

 

[TheCochese]

Butt head's emails.

 

[Silent Chief]

This is dumb.

You can't call republicans hypocrites if you defended Hillary and support this.

Actually, it's your argument that's dumb.

All people who blame others for doing something and then do that very same thing are hypocrites.

Some Republicans are doing this. Hence, those Republicans are hypocrites.

Let me know the part that you do not understand.
