Foolish on Ivanka's part and she deserves criticism yes. But she didn't set up a secret server to bypass the government system. She exchanged no confidential, sensitive, or classified information via her private email account and has deleted no emails, has destroyed no hard drives or other equipment, or been devious or secretive about anything. The vast majority of those emails were related to her schedule and activities in response to communications of close friends and people who care for her home and children, etc.
Does that excuse her lapse in judgment? No.
Is it the same as what Hillary did? No.
She also had things set up according the Federal Regulations while Hitlery did not.
I think using her private email early on was just a dumb rookie mistake. Sort of like Don Jr. and Jarrod taking that meeting Democrat opportunists set up with their operative from Russia.
Ivanka stopped using her private email account early on once she was advised of the problem with that. And I'm sure Don Jr. and Jarrod won't easily make the mistake of checking out dangled bait again.
It's not really a mistake at all after two years of investigations, non stop reporting and an entire campaign of " lock her up".
Ivanka is either the dumbest broad ever or just didn't care. I'm going with option 2.
Again Ivanka was not communicating anything sensitive, secret, or classified. She was mostly responding to close friends and the people who worked for her, took care of her house and children, etc. re her schedule or activities when they contacted her.
She did not set up a private server to bypass the government system.
She did not delete any of the emails.
She did not destroy any hard drives, computers, or other equipment to prevent any examination of or recovery of emails.
As soon as she was advised, early on, that the innocuous exchanges she did make were improper she discontinued using her private account.
Should she have known better? Yes. But all things considered, I can believe that she did not consider those innocuous emails to be a problem until she was advised that they could be.
Is her situation the same as Hillary's? No it is not.
