It’s hard to keep track of all the scandals plaguing the Trump Administration, any one of which would be a HUGE scandal in any other previous administration.  Right now, there is a lot of focus on HHS Secretary Tom Price, who has been using private jets and military aircraft to get from place to place — at taxpayer expense.  Price tried to get ahead of the scandal by saying that he would pay for “his seat” on those flights, which turned about to be literal.  He chartered entire planes, but agreed to pay only for “his seat”, which he calculated to be roughly $51,000.  When you add up all of the more than two dozen private and chartered jets Price has taken since May, the pricetag — ahem — is now north of $1 million taxpayer dollars, according to calculations made by Politico.

Then there’s Scott Pruit, head of the EPA, also has been flying around in expensive planes on the taxpayer’s dime, and installing a $25,000 soundproof room in the EPA for unknown reasons.

Even those stories are being overshadowed by Trump’s failure to adequately respond to the hurricane damage in Puerto Rico (“Trump’s Katrina”), his race-based attacks on NFL protests, and his new tax plan (a gift to the rich).

So I’m not surprised — but still a little surprised — that more isn’t being made of the “private emails” scandal.  We just went through a presidential election where all anybody would talk about — on the right and in the media — was Hillary Clinton’s private emails and her private server.  Now, we learn that Jared and Ivanka Trump conducted official White House business from their own private server.

Then, as the NY Times reports:

But Mr. Kushner was not alone. Stephen K. Bannon, the former chief White House strategist, and Reince Priebus, the former chief of staff, also occasionally used private email addresses. Other advisers, including Gary D. Cohn and Stephen Miller, sent or received at least a few emails on personal accounts, officials said.

What the hell?

It is just so bizarre. These people are either incredibly corrupt or incredibly stupid and probably both.

Now it is quite possible that there was no classified material exchanged.  But it is a violation of the Presidential Records Act, something that these people themselves pointed out time and time again through their candidate during the campaign.  It’s astounding — simply astounding — that they would engage in the same activities (and so soon!) after hearing millions of their followers shout “LOCK HER UP” when Hillary did the same thing.

I know. Hypocrisy is the least of this administration’s wrongdoings.  But it amazes me anyway.

P.S. I forgot to mention other Clinton-esque scandals like Foundation donations, pay-for-play, etc
