I’m literate, but no lawyer. Plain English seems to disqualify HRC if guilty of violating the records act...

18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
Current through Pub. L. 113-296, except 113-287, 113-291, 113-295. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)
(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

At least the third count of such offenses, with the subpoenaed Rose Law Firm records in her personal WH closet being a well documented earlier case and all the FBI records Craig Livingston held for her another. I hope Judicial Watch, and other non-MSM types going after her stress her back record to the courts. Disqualification would be a very appropriate penalty. Is there anyone outside of Holder's control with the authority to charge her? Also as the law includes "shall forfeit his office" I believe any conservative media accosting her about this shouldn't call her "Senator" or "Madame Secretary" as she's forfeited any right to such titles.

As an aside, although this scandal, at least so far, doesn't directly impact Bill, if it did I predict he'd be pointing to the law's final clause as his out. The draft dodger would be claiming status as a retired officer with the rank of Commander in Chief. Many Freepers will recall the precedant for that.
