Reason No. 9 - Not to Vote for Hillary. Hillary did not follow her own guidance on Federal Records or Phone and Computer disposal by Law

Hillary did not follow the Law on disposal of equipment or records.  She had no authority to destroy records on her own, or destroy Government Property own her own.

Any government employee who destroyed property with out approval would be held responsible for payment.  Was an inventory of property conducted when Hillary left the State Department?

Classified material has to be logged.  It would be interesting to find out how many classified documents have been logged out and are now unaccounted for.  The burn bag episode and loose handling of classified material should prompt and inventory of these documents as well.

Below is the guidance found for the U.S. Sec. 14,  STATE DEPT. BASIC AUTHORITIES ACT OF 1956  on Federal Records or Phone and Computer disposal by Law.
