Perhaps the lawyers here know if this law would affect her if she is elected president.
Cornell Law Library - RE: H Clinton
Apparently, the FBI forgot to visit the Cornell Law Library. Word for word from the Cornell Law Library Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton's private email server illegal, it "disqualifies" her from holding any federal office. Very specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071.
For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here's what it says:
"(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."
Yes, it explicitly states "shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."
I'm not a lawyer so am wondering about this.

Only if she's prosecuted....and the current president doesn't believe in the rule of law.

Only if she's prosecuted....and the current president doesn't believe in the rule of law. I'd say that's right. The penalty only applies if she's convicted of the offense. She won't be convicted, and if she is, she'll be pardoned. Originally, that's why I thought Comey spent all that time reviling her and then chose not to advise prosecution: because there's no way anybody in the Obama administration would get anywhere near a Clinton prosecution, and Comey wanted to wait until Trump was in office and then find something to recommend prosecution about. But after listening to Comey before Congress, I've changed my mind. He's just another corrupt bureaucrat trying not to find himself on the wrong end of a Clinton death squad.

My thought is this: The AIC can't pardon the FLIP simply because she's not been charged/prosecuted.. After the AIC's out of office and (hopefully) DT gets in, THEN he can get rid of that pos Lynch and get an AG who WILL prosecute the FLIP and send her sorry azz to a federal pen for LIFE...

Yes he can pardon her for any actions that might later be charged as crimes. Remember Nixon?

If The R's to keep both houses of congress maybe they could start the impeachment process in January. That should keep her occupied for the next couple of years.
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge

If The R's to keep both houses of congress maybe they could start the impeachment process in January. That should keep her occupied for the next couple of years. HAH.. THAT would require BALLS.. But even if they did, the Dems would scuttle that within seconds..

Key word in both sections is "willfully" ; she didn't have any bad intent. it wasn't intentional & she didn't know what she was doing.................so it can't apply.
So she can't/isn't being held accountable...........just sayin'.
Just more wishful thinking.

She did do it willfully - even to the point of telling underlings to lose the classified header...the intent was to hide it. Gross negligence is also included in one of the other laws. Can't remember it exactly. Mishandling of classified info, whether intentional or not, is criminal.

Yes, it explicitly states "shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."
Some ambulance chasing lawyer will argue the word "his" and say it doesn't apply to the bitch.
