Determination: Real but Retracted
Mukasey appeared on the August 24, 2015 MSNBC Morning program
where he told interviewers, "I think the more dangerous part of this, from her
standpoint, is not so much the placement of the material here as wiping the
server."
The former AG continued, "Number
one, that's a felony, but that statute disqualifies you from holding any further
office in the United States and she's running for a further office under the
United States."
Mukasey was citing a federal law
that criminalizes the filing of false crop or weather reports. It also forbids
federal employees from falsifying financial records.
Three days later, he retracted his comment after legal
scholars argued his statement, according to am August 27, 2015
article by NBC.
Former Rutgers Law School teacher
Seth Barrett Tillman, was one of those scholars and wrote, that such application
of this statute to presidential candidates would be unconstitutional. The
article said Tillman pointed out that the U.S. Constitution only limits the
qualifications of U.S. President to be "US citizenship, being at least 35, and
having lived in the US at least 14 years." Other factors may not be added to the
qualifications list.
In his retraction, Mukasey said,
"On reflection ... Professor Tillman's (analysis) is spot on, and mine was
mistaken."
