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.
Such as, say, President of the United States. 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 Å“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."
