with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation...

Key part. The rest is just hyperventilating.

“with the intent to ....”

That language should make it pretty impossible to prosecute ordinary individuals who are clearing their history. The prosecutor would have to prove your intent is to thwart justice, rather than, say, privacy concerns. That’s going to be basically impossible unless you are stupid enough to admit that is why you did it.

The ISP has all the history.
Google has the history of all your searches.
The NSA has everything.

They don't have to tell you they're investigating, I believe. It's for you to find out later, after they bring charges for whatever, and grab your hard drive, and find out that you've flushed your history.

Just more charges to lard on the peasant. But NOT on our Masters - see H. Clinton & L. Lerner.

It's for charge-larding.

That’s why we have so many laws.

They’ll get you for 20 violations so you plea bargain to 3 or go bankrupt fighting them all.

Yeah, that scenario is probably buried somewhere in the Federalist Papers, or the Anti-Federalist Papers.

It's exactly as the Founders envisioned. Or not.

Actually, the Founders probably would have strung up more than a few prosecutors by now...

The IRS got away with it scot free.

You make it sound like "peasant law " applies to the IRS...
