Trump's top staffers have their own private email server; Trump is still using his unsecured phone

Hey look, nothing matters and the entire Republican argument against opponent Hillary Clinton was a steaming load of bullshit all along. You got played, Republican America. You got played so damn bad.

Senior Trump administration staffers including Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner, Sean Spicer and Steve Bannon have active accounts on a Republican National Committee email system, Newsweek has learned.

Hey, lookie there. It's not just one administration official using a private email server, the whole crew has their own private email server! The good news, though, is they didn't even have to set it up themselves—it's the same server George W. Bush and his crew used for the precise same purpose. And when federal watchdogs came looking for those emails, the Bush administration ‘fessed up that they had (oops) accidentally deleted 22 million of them. (Don't worry, even though the deleted emails were all from the period of time the administration was promoting dodgy information to sell the public on the Iraq War, they promise there was nothing important there.)

It’s not clear whether or how Trump staffers are using the RNC email addresses. If they are using them, they are subject to the “Disclosure Requirement For Official Business Conducted Using Electronic Messaging Accounts," a law, 44 U.S.C. 2209, that went into effect in 2014. If White House staffers have already used the RNC emails system for White House work, they must copy or forward those communications into the government system within 20 days.
