Charles C.W. Cooke: Romanian Hacker Claims He Got Inside Hillary Clinton’s Private Server

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

NRO  . . . “ 'Guccifer” hasn’t provided any hard evidence yet. But he’ll be questioned soon by the FBI. For the sake of argument, suppose that, as he claims, he still has copies of the e-mails he supposedly downloaded (he says he has “two gigabytes” of data). There’s no way that wouldn’t be absolutely devastating to Clinton.

18 USC 793(f)(1)-(2) holds that: 
Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, 
     (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or 
     (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
As far as I can see, Clinton is guilty of violating at least two federal laws regardless of whether Guccifer can corroborate his claims."
