the article that you wrote, josh, is that people inside the white house were not just surprised about the volume of personal e-mail use but also her initial explanation, which was what? people in the white house were startled by the fact that she seemed to be the highest offender. who had sent most of the e-mails. when they approached her about it, she essentially expressed ignorance of the rules, said that she did not know that all of them had to be done on the government e-mail server and basically said she did not realize she was so in the wrong. that surprised so many folks in the white house, john, because obviously her father ran a campaign where chanting lock her up over hillary clinton s use of e-mails was a central theme of the campaign. so it seemed startling to people in the white house that she would not have had more foresight to preserve her e-mails through a government server. it is hard to imagine anyone who lived through 2016 to be surprised by rules about govern
on her own personal i mae-mail account. certainly there should not have been anything in there that was classified but she shouldn t have been conducting government business on her personal e-mail account. that is one of the rules and the guidance that the lawyers at the white house give to everybody as soon as they come in. but also, it was such a very topical issue throughout the campaign, and after the inauguration, that i find it hard to believe that she didn t understand the rules. it s not just not having your own personal server at your home, it is that because of the requirements and law that government officials need to conduct government business on government e-mails. if you re the russians, do you target someone like that? oh, of course. absolutely. you try to target everything that they do in terms of what they say, and contacts they have, the communications that they engage in. and unclassified e-mails are vulnerable to being picked up by any number of entities, wheth
care. if you ask anybody, government business goes on government e-mails. the central theme of that campaign was clinton s e-mails, so they knew. let s bring in michael schmidt. beyond the hypocrisy here, michael, which is obvious, what parallels do you see between ivanka s e-mails and hillary clinton s e-mails? well, they re very similar as you guys were just laying out. the question you now will be whether the democrats on the hill do what the republicans on the hill did to clinton. and what they did is they sent a letter to the intelligence community back in 2015 saying, hey, can you go and look at this stuff and see if there s anything that s classified. that was ultimately what tripped up clinton. and what the democrats could do now in the house, now that they re in power, is they could go back to the same person in the intelligence community, this inspector general, and say, hey, can you guys just take a look at these e-mails and see if there s anything classified and that is
rival over the dna test she made public. the only good thing she did, and i think she disqualified herself. i can t call her pocahontas anymore. she has so little indian in her. i cannot call her pocahontas anymore. if you don t mind, i ll continue. do you mind? it will show everybody what a phony she is. senator warren s test revealed she is between 1/64 and 1/1000 native-american. democrats accusing trump of a clear conflict of interest on efforts to replace the fbi headquarters. government e-mails show the president was more involved than had been known scrapping plans to move the fbi out of the decaying hoover building to the washington suburbs. it may benefit the president financially. his hotel is one block away and could be in competition with any hotel built on the current fbi site. the hoover building will be
didn t even interact with you? there s a whole e-mail chain. you re the first one to ask me, joy, and i m glad you asked. as i stated, everything in my book can be corroborated, documented and verified. on that day, the first e-mail is hope hicks. the e-mail will become public because they re government e-mails. i sent an e-mail to hope explaining to her i was concerned about the chatter i was hearing, that someone was about to release this tape. hope responds to me and she says, we ve already contained this or we already dealt with this, which i thought was interesting. because of that exchange, that happened in the morning at 10:00 a.m. by 5:00 i got an e-mail from john kelly s assistant saying he wanted to met me in the situation room. it s hard to ignore that coincidence that i had that exchange in the morning and in the evening he was locking me in the situation room making threats. the white house knows this, hope hicks knows this and john kelly knows that. you mention the e-
