Hillary should face criminal charges

Her last day as Secretary of State was Feb. 1, 2013. Yet last week she held a press conference to say that she had just recently turned over some 55,000 documents. Thus, it’s cut and dried that she violated the law. She left the State Department without turning over documents as required by law, which makes her in violation of the law and subject to criminal charges.

Many people have been prosecuted under this statue, most notably I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and TV star Martha Stewart. Mr. Libby, who was chief of staff to then-Vice President Dick Cheney, who was charged under Section 1001 with two counts of making false statements.

Now, no one yet knows if she actually signed the form upon departure. Reporters aren’t asking, the State Department’s not saying. But there’s no question that the government is a stickler for forms and proper procedure, so it’s highly likely that she did.

But there’s more than just the legal form. The House Select Committee on Benghazi has demanded Mrs. Clinton’s email regarding the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack that left four Americans dead. Rep. Darrell Issa, who has led the probe, said last week “it will be a crime if she knowingly withheld pursuant to the subpoena.”
