e-mails to determine which oneser and were not relevant. here is what the president thought about that back then. i guarantee you one thing. we re going to be talking about those e-mails every day. how can hillary clinton manage this country when she can t managed her e-mails? she lied like a dog on her e-mails. she should be in prison. so we re going to get a special prosecutor and we re going to look into it. it s awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. because you would be in jail. maybe it s too obvious to say, but i m going to say it, anyway.
on your party s behalf which is precisely why donald trump did what he did, is unconscionable and it is a violation of all the military customs and tradition that has made this country great and made the military in it great. so it s very dangerous precedent to set. just imagine, for example, that suddenly donald trump sees terrorists in america. domestic terrorists. or hezbollah. or hamas. or whatever he might call them. we now have an addition to the 2011 national defense authorization act that allows the president to suspend the law that says you can t use the military for domestic law enforcement unless there are certain circumstances pertinent like the nation is collapsing. now the president can call those forces out if he quote sees material support to terrorism or to suppress that support, unquote. this is a very dangerous precedent to set.
that s the lesson. no, that s not the lesson you take away here. there s public record rules because there s public record rules. it wasn t a mistake to try to figure out if hillary clinton was reckless with classified information. maybe it went on too long. maybe that was hillary clinton s fault for not being straightforward. maybe the press was too aggressive. i don t know. we ll let media adegreesers figure that out over the next few years. but, sam, these laws are in place for a reason and just because you re the president s daughter or just because, you know, you feel like republicans are too aggressive against you if you re hillary clinton doesn t excuse somebody from breaking the law. and, in fact, it s almost worse in a way because we had this collective outrage over what hillary clinton did. the idea that ivanka would go into the administration and not have an idea that using a public e-mail system was necessary as part of the job is laughable.
understand history or what constitutional norms are or what a president can and cannot do, what the president should or shouldn t do. in this case you bring up a great point. they knew. they knew because they were leading chants for a year and a half to imprison a political opponent because she used a private e-mail server for public business. in fact, donald trump brought it up at the second debate. said he was going to get an independent counsel to investigate it. said he was going to lock her up. there is no way, these trumps, they don t understand government. they never did understand government. they don t care to understand government. i know firsthand. they think they are smarter than everybody else. that they are not they are not chained to history. well, they are. but in this case, she knew better. and she chose to break the law anyway. you re exactly right.
ponied up $25 million to the clinton foundation. political reporting today there may be new trouble for the foundation because of the foundation as donating an additional 10 to $25,000. except the tax returns reveal it actually contributed $7.25 million to the clinton foundation which is already amending its own tax returns and may have to make more changes, despite clinton s sharp defense on tuesday of the foreign money that has poured into the foundation. people are very supportive of the life-saving and life-changing work that is done here at home and elsewhere. and i ll let the politically sensitive documents under records law. officials at the state department already dealing with pressure to release clinton s
