"To destroy classified documents is a crime.
Constitutional law professor Ronald Rotunda pointed out in the Wall Street Journal that it is a crime (18 U.S.C. section 1519) to destroy even one message to prevent it from being subpoenaed. Prosecutors charging someone with obstruction don’t even have to establish that any investigation was pending. They need only show that the documents were destroyed to make discovery more difficult for future investigators.Mrs. Clinton already answered that question. In an interview in 2000 she said, “As much as I’ve been investigated and all that. Why would I ever want to do email?”
She gave the emails that she didn’t destroy to her attorney on a thumb drive. She gave them to the State Department in the form of 55,000 pages of printed documents. Thumb drives are searchable. Printed pages are not. Does it strike you that she was being particularly helpful in trying to get the documents out to the public?
