In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Violated Email Policy, State Dept. Says [View all]SusanLarson
(284 posts)2. Federal Regulations and laws not simple rules
Section 1236.22 of the 2009 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements states that:
Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency record keeping system.
Her purpose was concealment as we get in this quote from her own mouth. This is also why she sent the records to the state department in a printed form, to ensure that they were not easily accessible. Each record would have to be scanned then OCR'd at considerable effort and expense.
"As much as Ive been investigated and all of that, you know, why would I - I dont even want - why would I ever want to do e-mail?" Hillary Clinton seen on tape telling Peter Paul on home video captured at a fundraiser.
"Can you imagine?" she said.
18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
...(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.

A progressive, and certainly a liberal, is supposed to be able to see big pictures.

So if there was any law "violation", it was the agency that allowed it, not the individual.
