The Washington Post is reporting that WH ethics officials have discovered that Ivanka Trump has sent “hundreds of emails” about official government business using a private email address from a domain shared with…wait for it…husband Jared Kushner.  That’s right, folks, Miss I Get Everything I Want from Daddy and China has been using a private email server for official government business since 2017.  When interviewed about her practice of using a private email server, WH officials were surprised at her ignorance about federal laws governing the use of email communications, especially in light of the fact that her spray painted father made such a gigantic issue of Hillary Clinton’s use of private email when she was Secretary of State during the Obama administration.

Rather than going apeshit over Ivanka’s use of private email, I expect Trumpland to respond to this scandal with a “What? What’s the big deal?” response.  Hypocrisy is not in Trumpland’s lexicon.

Tweeto Jesus and his squawking heads made Hillary’s use of a private email server a central issue in last year’s election.  Every single rally included chants of, “Lock her up!” for her email “scandal”.  Oh, how times have changed.  At least six current and former WH staffers have been caught using private email accounts for official business, and, in fact, Jared Kushner and Ivanka have actually set up their own server, dubbed Javanka, exactly like Hillary and Bill did, with the exception that the Clinton server was actually set up by the Secret Service.

Conservative media and Trump himself immediately reacted to the news of the innappropriate use of these accounts with the following response:

Hypocrisy! Table for one!

(Right after I posted this I noticed that El Jefe wrote about the same thing. Great minds, y’all.)

Donald Trump is just a wealth of information about cybersecurity.  First off, expect his other son to be put in charge of it. “I have a boy who’s 10 years old. He can do anything with a computer.”

Asked about the Russians hacking us, Trump calmly explained it all.

And I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else.”

“I also know things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation,” Trump responded when asked why he doubts intelligence reports of Russian hacking, according to a pool reporter.

When asked what Trump knows that other people don’t know, Trump responded, “You’ll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.”

Or maybe Thursday, or …. hey, maybe it’s just like the secret stuff Trump said his investigators in Hawaii found about Obama’s birth certificate.  We’re still holding our breath for that one.

And then there’s his solution to cybersecurity:

“You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier.”

And there’s no way in hell that any courier, who makes maybe $20 an hour, can be corrupted.  You know, especially those riding bicycles.  Those are galvanized bicycles with rocket fuel engines, by gawd, and no damn Russian could steal that bicycle right from under a 400 pound guy that Trump knows.

To be extra secure, and if you really want to outfox the Russians, you can write your message like one of those origami fortune tellers we used to make a camp. The Russians could never figure that out!  Hell, it took Thelma all day to make one and she’s at least as smart as a Russian.

And think about it:  Twitter by Courier should be fun.  Slow, maybe, but fun. You just write something out a piece of paper and pass it around … to everybody. Or, you could use a courier, it’s up to you.
