Federal Law Breakers: Mr. and Mrs. Arrogant Snoots
Trump’s
daughter Ivanka Trump-Kushner and hubby, son-in-law Jared Kushner, have been
using private email accounts and the messaging service “WhatsApp” to conduct
official government business.
That private email and app use by two
presidential top advisers could violate the Presidential Records Act of 1978, cite:
44 U.S.C. §§ 2201–2207.
This is
#11 of the 12 provisions listed in that law: “Establishes preservation requirements for official business conducted
using non-official electronic messaging accounts: any individual creating
Presidential records must not use
non-official electronic messaging accounts unless that individual copies an official account as the message is
created or forwards a complete copy of the record to an official messaging
account. (A similar provision in
the Federal Records Act applies to federal agencies).”
Their actions amount to the same activity that Republicans
led by Trump campaigned on in his race against Hillary Clinton in 2016 in what
they still call “her criminality.”
(WORTH NOTING: Clinton
used a secure private email server at her home but she still used an official Government
account ... a huge diff than WhatsApp
weakness).
In his letter to the White House, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Chairman of the House Oversight and
Reform Committee, requested documents and information relating to the Trump
White House’s use of nongovernmental channels.
Ivanka Trump, Cummings
wrote: “Continues to receive emails relating to
official business on her personal email account and she does not forward emails
received through her personal account unless she responds to the email, even if
the subject matter of the email relates to her official duties.”
That, Cummings said, violates the Presidential Records Act.
He also noted that the revelations come to light in 2017, but that “new information that raises additional
security and federal records concerns” has since been obtained regarding
those people.
My 2 cents: So, Mr. President shall we “lock up”
these two senior advisors? Or will you grant then continued access to White
House classified of sensitive information?
Tic toc, Mr. President, tic toc.
Stay tuned – we shall see.
Thanks for stopping by.
