Didn't we discuss the private email use of Iavanka last year? I feel like the story was in the news for a while and then died.
Yes, that's why I said she pleaded ignorance then already. But I don't remember the deletion part, and the rest of the article about other officials.

Glad to see we are again back to 'but Hillary'.
Since we're playing this game I'll just add one.
Any mishandling of potentially classified information by Hillary pales in comparison to Ivanka and Jared being given top clearance over the objections of the intelligence agencies.

She is a White House aid and required by law to preserve her communications, so unless they are forwarding the WhatsApp content, that isn't sufficient. We didn't make up some magical classification for her because she is the president's daughter and a chat app owned by Facebook. And its 2019, so they have had a while to figure this out. Furthermore, if she has a goverment account, there is no reason for her to be using a private one for goverment business at this point. Email is not rocket science, after all. It is extremely suspicious that this is all still going on and warrants a full investigation equal to the private email server investigation.

Oh, then I have to unearth this for the second time now :
https://vault.fbi.gov/hillary-r.-clinton/Hillary R. Clinton Part 01 of 30/view
Page 11 : "While State policy during Clinton's tenure required that "day to day operations be conducted on an authorized IS", according to the BISM, there was no restriction on the use of personal email accounts for official business. However, State employees were cautioned about security and records retention regarding the use of personal email."
Page 14 : "Investigations identified hundreds of email sent by Abedin and others requiring him to print document for Clinton. Some emails were determined to contain information at the confidential level." (no mention of markings here, and were not sent by HRC. Lots of others were of course, but not the printed ones, and the guy had an accreditation)
Page 18 : (after producing all the records, filtered between work/nonwork by the attorneys, for all the FOIA requests about Benghazi and others) "in December 2014, Clinton decided she no longer needed access to any of her emails older than 60days. Therefore, Mills instructed () to modify the retention policy on her account to reflect this change. However, according to (), he did not implement this change until March 2015."
"On March 2nd 2015, the NYT published a piece (...). On March 3rd, the House committee requested preservation and production of all medias and documents.
Page 19 : "Between March 25-31st (after a meeting), he realized he had not made the retention policy changes requested in December. (...) In a follow up interview with FBI on May 3rd 2016, he indicated he believed he had a "oh shit" moment and deleted the archives and .pst and used Bleachbit. FBI found traces of these deletions. (...) Clinton and Mills said they were unaware any deletions occurred in March 2015.
More on this post : https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=27253938
About classifications markings, AGAIN, let me remind that I deal with that shit every day with military and civilian authorities and we have to enforce addons like Classify to FORCE people to put proper markings on their mails, otherwise it's the wild west. Emails with a wrong classification to a wrong recipient or with attachments scanned and OCRed for keywords are forcefully blocked. I even had to disable the (redacted, bad idea to name it) new headquarters printer system that bypassed all the checks while faxing from them.
These people are security newbies, ALL OF THEM.
Again, it is clear there was improper handling of these classified emails, however there are questionable markings, and no proven dissemination to unauthorized people, so it is pretty hard to prosecute and this kind of thing is usually dealt with using administrative sanctions, not prosecution.
You won't make me believe that Ivanka can ignore the preservation of records seeing how they trashed HRC. She directly deleted herself work-related emails in her inbox that she had not answered to. She forwards them now (after around 9 monthes serving). It IS a nothingburger to me, but she cannot use ignorance as an excuse :-D

Clinton Part 01 of 30/viewPage 11 : "While State policy during Clinton's tenure required that "day to day operations be conducted on an authorized IS", according to the BISM, there was no restriction on the use of personal email accounts for official business. However, State employees were cautioned about security and records retention regarding the use of personal email." Page 14 : "Investigations identified hundreds of email sent by Abedin and others requiring him to print document for Clinton. Some emails were determined to contain information at the confidential level." (no mention of markings here, and were not sent by HRC. Lots of others were of course, but not the printed ones, and the guy had an accreditation) Page 18 : (after producing all the records, filtered between work/nonwork by the attorneys, for all the FOIA requests about Benghazi and others) "in December 2014, Clinton decided she no longer needed access to any of her emails older than 60days. Therefore, Mills instructed () to modify the retention policy on her account to reflect this change. However, according to (), he did not implement this change until March 2015." "On March 2nd 2015, the NYT published a piece (...). On March 3rd, the House committee requested preservation and production of all medias and documents. Page 19 : "Between March 25-31st (after a meeting), he realized he had not made the retention policy changes requested in December. (...) In a follow up interview with FBI on May 3rd 2016, he indicated he believed he had a "oh shit" moment and deleted the archives and .pst and used Bleachbit. FBI found traces of these deletions. (...) Clinton and Mills said they were unaware any deletions occurred in March 2015. More on this post : https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=27253938About classifications markings, AGAIN, let me remind that I deal with that shit every day with military and civilian authorities and we have to enforce addons like Classify to FORCE people to put proper markings on their mails, otherwise it's the wild west. Emails with a wrong classification to a wrong recipient or with attachments scanned and OCRed for keywords are forcefully blocked. I even had to disable the (redacted, bad idea to name it) new headquarters printer system that bypassed all the checks while faxing from them. These people are security newbies, ALL OF THEM. Again, it is clear there was improper handling of these classified emails, however there are questionable markings, and no proven dissemination to unauthorized people, so it is pretty hard to prosecute and this kind of thing is usually dealt with using administrative sanctions, not prosecution. You won't make me believe that Ivanka can ignore the preservation of records seeing how they trashed HRC. She directly deleted herself work-related emails in her inbox that she had not answered to. She forwards them now (after around 9 monthes serving). It IS a nothingburger to me, but she cannot use ignorance as an excuse :-D
Yeah she claimed she and her lawyers had separated out all the work emails and deleted tens of thousands under subpoena. This was her testimony to the public when she desperately wanted to be elected president and put her oopsies behind her. It wasn't that everything was kosher, she missed the (C)'s, and some dolt screwed a retention policy. Which, in your view, is a claim she should've advanced. BleachBit is not an accidental program they ran thinking it was notepad.
I appreciate all the shit you go through with classified clearances and numbskulls and how we should really move to systems you like and support.
Oh, and you do realize the FBI interview was not under oath, and the lawyer present with her is also complicit in reviewing and deleting emails subject to subpoena?
Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok told Congress last year that the agency "did not have access" to Clinton Foundation emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server because of a consent agreement "negotiated between the Department of Justice attorneys and counsel for Clinton."
That agreement was revealed in newly released congressional transcripts from Strzok's closed-door testimony at the House Judiciary Committee on June 27, 2018.
When asked by then-majority general counsel Zachary Somers if “the Clinton Foundation was on the server”, Strzok testified that he believed it was “on one of the servers, if not the others.” But Strzok stressed that due to an agreement between the DOJ and Clinton, they were not allowed to search Clinton Foundation emails for information that could help in their investigation.

She negotiated to block FBI access.
Pivoting back to your laughable "where's the comparable outrage" angle for a minute, I never saw any attempt for Clinton to automatically copy her official state department email on all exchanges. It's not that everything sent CC'd the record-keeping address, but some emails seen and not replied to slip by. Clinton had no system, and she knew it, even as she's passing on classified documents to her buddy Blumenthal to see nothing potentially classified and give his guess see the classified documents and advise her on what to do. The whole thing stinks.

no of course i dont think that we arent witnessing tribalism. and now that youve admitted you dont care about anything a MAGAer might say, we can close the tribalism circle for both sides In my view in order to bothsides something you need some sort of equivalency between the two sides. Is that something you would agree with, and is that something that you think is happening? sure. outside of math, equivalency is always figural
Granted we don't have a democratic president who lies and "changes his mind" as consistently to fully make the comparison, but it's extremely hard to reach that level of not caring about the facts. From the incomplete data we have I find the less likely conclusion would be that democrats are at the same level, not that they aren't.

Robbing a movers truck by loading up all the electronics into a getaway house. It’s the perfect crime.
What surprises me is that there is a mechanism for the police to refuse to take complaints. Not acting on complaints is one thing but point blank refusing is just bizarre.

From the comments of the thread I found the story in, sometimes filing a complaint isn't made easy.

Mueller report "soon" now,i can not wait lol. It will all fizzle out into nothing I think.
Its the last straw for the democrats who have any hope of removing trump before his term ends.

It doesn’t make too much sense to try to convince Republicans to impeach if you can just convict through normal legal proceedings after the end of his term.

Republicans have made it abundantly clear that they don't care about propriety anymore. They have gone into full-on tribal mode, towing the party line harder than ever before and licking Trump's boots every step of the way. So with them still holding the Senate, impeachment both doesn't make sense and isn't a real option. It is a political mechanism by nature.
That said, the report can still full well hold some damning information if the blinders are taken off impeachment mode.
