President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump moved their personal email accounts to computers run by the Trump Organization as public scrutiny intensified over their use of private emails to conduct White House business, internet registration records show.

The move, made just days after Kushner’s use of a personal email account first became public, came shortly after special counsel Robert Mueller asked the White House to turn over records related to his investigation of Russia's interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Trump associates. It also more closely intertwines President Trump’s administration with his constellation of private businesses.

According to internet registration records reviewed by USA TODAY and cybersecurity researchers, Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump, who is also a senior adviser, switched the location of their email accounts to a server operated by the Trump Organization on either Sept. 26 or 27, as attention from the media and lawmakers intensified.

Has this got widespread coverage in the US? Hope so. But I guess people are do hunkered down in their, erm, stupid hypocrisy I don't know what I'm really expecting.

 

[DopeyFish]

You mean the same servers which had connections to that Russian hotel which is directly linked to the Russian government?

😉

 

[Nafai1123]

Does this somehow prevent Mueller from getting his hands on them?

 

[Slayven]

Why?

I am no lawyer, but wouldn't that mean if that shit gets subpoenaed that opens the whole organization wide open for review?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Bold strategy let's see if it pays off

Was thinking the same thing bahahaha. I hope it does.

 

[Mark Andrew]

Does this somehow prevent Mueller from getting his hands on them?

No, if anything he now has legal justification to look at the Trump Organization’s servers so...

 

[Zolo]

Does this somehow prevent Mueller from getting his hands on them?

No. There'd be nothing to stop it from being subpoenaed.

Kusher was a plant by Soros confirmed!

I mean these people are dumb as rocks.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Subpoena and search warrant please.

 

[davepoobond]

so they moved it to a personal server in a basement

 

[Mr. X]

So they effectively brought Trump Org emails into Mueller's crosshairs? Nice.

 

[Clefargle]

so they moved it to a personal server in a basement

Just to put a fucking bow on the funhouse mirror

 

[Slayven]

I mean these people are dumb as rocks.

Thank God, Odin, Shango The Thunderer, and Susanooo

The stupidity is astounding...

 

[Chittagong]

There must be a competition with a monster prize for who of this lot is the most fucking dumb, jesus Christ

They haven't exactly made the smartest choices.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Never has this image been so appropriate.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Subpoena and search warrant please.

This. Rip Trump Tower the fuck apart.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Take my energy Mueller

 

[SwiftDeath]

Clearly Kushner is Trump's sidekick, PROJECTION BOY!

 

[CopperPuppy]

Would you say they moved them to a...

...Personal server?

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

Mueller looks at the server

 

[Log4Girlz]

Why can't democrats stop misusing email accounts?

 

[Oersted]

But has he saved the middle east yet?

 

[Mahonay]

Lol God they are dumb.

 

[Wrestlemania]

What were they hoping to achieve by doing this?

 

[Sobriquet]

🤣

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

I was going to come in here and say "But Her Emails", but this shit is so tired at this point. I feel like every day is a thread about something like this. Its just hard to even care at this point, but his emails.

 

[Zolo]

What were they hoping to achieve by doing this?

It was probably just a move by Kushner or something figuring it wasn't as big of a deal to move it to Trump Organization.

 

[Ithil]

Stupid Watergate.

 

[Booya_base]

It must be weird being Mueller sometimes. He probably has all these plans for how there may be a shot at getting Trump Orgs emails via a legal process, assigns a team, they come up with angles of attack and then something like this happens They just go, what?

 

[gabbo]

What were they hoping to achieve by doing this?

Probably push back against the "private email" bit in the news, but whoafully underthought the response.

 

[Mahonay]

I was going to come in here and say "But Her Emails", but this shit is so tired at this point. I feel like every day is a thread about something like this. Its just hard to even care at this point, but his emails.

Funny how you never see those people in these threads that were so upset about Hillary's emails during the election. Instead hiding out in the mass shooting thread and defending their totally innocent hobby of hoarding killing implements.

 

[Occam]

They haven't exactly made the smartest choices.

These are not smart people.

What is really amazing is how many even less intelligent people are willing to do business with this family of crooks.

 

[B-Dubs]

So now Mueller gets everyone's emails and shit. So fucking dumb.

 

[Surfinn]

Extend the investigation indefinitely so it will never be completed

It's a bold move

In all seriousness I would imagine Mueller is just gunna have another avenue to explore.

 

[Vena]

This is beyond stupid.

Mueller now has an easy target to subpoena their entire email server.

This is just a knee-jerk reaction from Jared and Ivanka without considering the legal ramifications, they must have thought it couldn't be tracked.

 

[Strike]

Yeah, they're not smart.

 

[BronsonLee]

TRAP ACTIVATED

 

[Linkura]

Ummm wouldn't the Trump Org servers also be considered private servers?

God these people are so fucking dumb.

 

[VariantX]

Damn. Sideshow bob, meet rakes.

 

[AnotherNils]

I swear I saw some kind of denial on this. Not saying I believe them, but I wonder if its weasel worded some way.

I'll try to find it.

Edit: Found it

Edit 2: Its from the damn article. D'oh!

 

[Dyle]

Wow, this is insane. They don't even work for the Trump organization now, so they can't possibly have any legitimate excuse. Mueller's going to have a field day when they deliver those subpoenas
