Did Hillary Clinton Violate the Federal Embezzlement Law?
by ANDREW C. MCCARTHY March 4, 2015
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s systematic evasion of federal recordkeeping requirements involved both the use of private email addresses and a server system installed in her Chappaqua manse. The servers, according to the Washington Free Beacon, may have been set up by shady longtime Clinton lackey Eric Hothem – under a false name (Eric Hoteham) slightly varied from his true name. It may also have been designed to give users the ability to erase emails without a trace.
Shannen Coffin’s excellent column today points out that Mrs. Clinton’s Clintonesque shenanigans not only appear to be a clear violation of the Federal Records Act; she may also have violated a federal penal statute that makes it a felony for the custodian of government records to conceal or otherwise tamper with them.
I think there are other potential criminal violations as well. We don’t know enough about the former secretary of state’s emails yet to make a judgment about whether they involved classified matters – which could trigger liability under the espionage act (which governs the maintenance and severely limits the permissible disclosure of national security secrets). It is hard to imagine that no classified matters are implicated, but let’s set that aside for the moment.
As I have pointed out before in connection with government leaks, the embezzlement statute (Section 641 of the federal penal code – Title 18) may also be relevant. Embezzlement generally refers to the theft of money, but the federal statute extends the concept to cover government records and other property as well.

In a perfect world she would have a rap sheet longer than hell and be rotting in jail
How does this compare to the Scooter Libby matter?
In a perfect world of justice, Hillary would been tried, convicted, sentenced, and left to rot off the rope from which she had been hanged.
Corrupt, conscienceless self-serving evil little witch. Who else has or is getting away with this kind of crap? Wouldn’t it be something to see her actually end up in serious trouble over this? Yet it probably won’t happen. All these years of crap and it hasn’t happened yet. Grrrrr
When she stole the White Mosque silverware?
Or maybe Nixonian - wouldn't that be ironic.
And yeah, she and Bubba are up to their eyeballs in rot.
The beast is almost as untouchable as Obunga. They still fear the clintoon hit squad and know the body count from those that crossed them.
Answer to the headline.... Does a bear crap in the woods?
Nice!
Where to buy?
Is there a law she hasn’t violated?
Filegate, Travelgate, Chinagate, Rose Law Firm...
In her own words “What difference odes it make?”.
If she got caught along with Obama and the rest of his administration in the act of murder on national television nothing would be done.
I’m sick of the f’n investigations and committees. They do NOTHING. It’s nothing more than a feel good measure to 90% of what few Americans pay attention. Much like the TSA, it’s useless. The rest of us that are outrage do what I’m doing.. complain online as my tagline states.
Ironic indeed Major, ironic indeed...
Oh, I think it was a whole host of stuff. Presents from Foreign governments, furniture, rugs, dinnerware service, plates, etc.
She actually contended that Richard Nixon did not have a right to publically funded counsel.
Wow... I’ dog don’t have no new tricks does she?
