Incredibly, Ivanka, who positions herself as a serious businesswoman who actually belongs in the upper echelons of the executive branch, reportedly told aides that she had no idea the practice she was engaging in was frowned upon, saying “she was not familiar with some details of the rules.” (Maybe she had her headphones on during the hundreds of times her father shredded Hillary for doing the same thing, and made it a centerpiece of the campaign in which she played a key role!) Tellingly, not even Trump family lap dog Anthony Scaramucci, who can always be counted on to go to bat for 45 & co., isn’t even giving the First Daughter a pass:

In a statement, Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Ivanka’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, told The Washington 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.” Mirijanian also took pains to stress that what Ivanka did was totally different than H.R.C., because she never used a private server or deleted any e-mails.

Anyway, we assume the president will treat this e-mail situation with the same urgency and gravity as he did Clinton’s, and definitely won’t claim his daughter is a victim of the fake-news media that just wants to take her down because she’s beautiful.
