Clearing your browser history can be deemed 'obstruction of justice' in the U.S.
CBC News ^ | June 9, 2015 | Lauren O'Neil

Next week, a 24-year-old man who knew Boston Marathon bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev is scheduled to appear in U.S. Federal Court for sentencing on obstruction of justice charges related to the 2013 attacks.

Khairullozhon Matanov, a former taxi driver, did not participate in or have any prior knowledge of the bombings, according to U.S. authorities.

What could land him 20 more years in prison — where he has been since his arrest — are the charges that he deleted video files from his computer and cleared his browser history in the days following the attacks.

A Grand Jury indictment issued on May 29, 2014, states that Matanov "deleted a large amount of information from his Google Chrome Internet cache" following the bombing, including "references to the video of the suspected bombers [later identified as the Tsarnaevs]," "two of the photographs of the bombers released at approximately the same time," and "a photograph of Officer Sean Collier, who had been allegedly killed by Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev."

According to the​ indictment, the FBI was able to restore some of the deleted information from Matanov's computer in "an ongoing forensic review."(continued)

As the Hillary’s case may show, the criminal’s purpose in destroying incriminating paper documents and/or digital documents is to avoid going to jail.
Something like killing the sole witness, there goes the case.

This crime is analogous to the Hag deleting State Debt business emails from her personal computer thus deliberately deleting potential evidence against her for her role in the Benghazi mess, seems the same indictment should apply.

Conservatives are apparently as pathetic as the rest of Americans. And proud of it.

I’d be willing to bet that she deleted a lot more than just Bengazi related materials.

Ayn Rand

The future is now. ==

And “1984”

and “The Turner Diaries”

Not that I ever read them. Mentioned by Literature Teachers; must be relevant.

Then it isn’t destruction of evidence based on an event, but something you do regularly.

Indeed. At work, we are advised to regularly clear caches and so forth.

And maybe, soon, due to Free Republic, you could be incarcerated.

So, I clear my cache today. The last thing on my mind is to get up and commit a crime.

One year later, my name matches a data mine at the NSA.

The powers that be state that they really don't have anything on me, except clearing my cache...and threatening the Wookie...somehow, on a website called FReeRepublic.

I'm toast.

"The future is now", is my comment. The Ayn Rand quote is from Dr. Ferris character in Atlas Shrugged

Also of relevance:

“You don´t need to watch everyone if everyone believes they're being watched. (...) Punishment isn't necessary, but the inevitability of punishment has to be programmed into the brain.”

John Twelve Hawks, The Traveler

Feels like Mao (and I sure others), who suppressed all thought by his (EVIL) methods.

Just remember what he did is very similar to what Hillary and Lois Lerner did with their emails.
