You'd have to think, after the Clinton furore, that the new crew would think things through.

Considering they spent over a year campaigning feeding that exact "furore" they must be more aware than anyone, and yet have chosen to subvert government record keeping in their email communications despite the risks.
Why?

Do we know if anyone else in the Obama Administration was chided for the same thing ?
How about during the Bush years ?

During the election season last summer and continuing into today trump and his supporters have rallied around one salient point when it came to his opponent. That she was a criminal and should be in jail.
Lock her up.
All of his supporters and surrogates led the battle cry. They included claims of using a private server and email account for government business thereby subjecting classified or essential government information and dealings to hacking and other cyber risks.
And she was accused of hiding the fact that she was playing fast and loose with government information by deleting damning emails from the server.
Now it seems the shoe is on the other foot.
Kushner used private email to conduct White House business.
The senior adviser set up the account after the election. Other West Wing officials have also used private email accounts for official business
residential son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner has corresponded with other administration officials about White House matters through a private email account set up during the transition last December, part of a larger pattern of Trump administration aides using personal email accounts for government business.
Kushner uses his private account alongside his official White House email account, sometimes trading emails with senior White House officials, outside advisers and others about media coverage, event planning and other subjects, according to four people familiar with the correspondence. POLITICO has seen and verified about two dozen emails.

So what is the difference here...except that it's trumps administration that is using private e mails.
Will they start a new battle cry.. Lock him up?
Probably not. It's not a crime now any more than it was a crime then.
But will his supporters agree? Will they see the hypocrisy? That's a question for you guys.
