<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif;color:#003300">On my WEFT interview last week I had mentioned I gave an extensive interview to Dennis Bernstein for Pacifica (including WEFT) on Clinton’s email private
server system pointing out that she had Committed the crime of Conspiracy to Defraud the United States Government in violation of 18 USC 371, which is a Felony. I was originally hired here to teach Criminal Law and did so for about 7-8 years.You can find
the text and analysis of the Statute below taken from the US Attorneys’ Manual itself. You can also find my response to a Yale Law Mafia Lawyer for Bush Jr defending Yale Law Mafia Clinton’s “ethics”. Yale Law Mafia Killer Koh admitted that he advised Clinton
on her email systems. In other words, Killer Koh was part of Clinton’s Conspiracy to Defraud the United States government in violation of 18 USC 371, which is a Felony. So of course the Yale Law Mafia, the Feddies, the Neo-Cons and the Clintonoids on the Faculty
of the University of Illinois College of Law believe Killer Koh is the perfect role model for a Lawyer in Government Service to give an Endowed Lecture on that subject on October 28 while campaigning for Mrs Clinton to get elected President ten days later.

at the White House. Now Feddie Painter is doing Damage Control and Damage Limitation for Hillary and Bill Clinton who also “studied” at Yale Law School. The Clintons’ Yale Law Mafia in operation—along with Harold Killer Koh. Looks to me like Feddie Painter
is gunning for a High Level Position in the President Mrs Clinton Yale Law Mafia Administration along with Killer Koh. Fab.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#171E24">The general conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. § 371, creates an offense "[i]f two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the
United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose. (emphasis added).
<i>See</i> Project, <i>Tenth Annual Survey of White Collar Crime</i>, 32 Am. Crim. L. Rev. 137, 379-406 (1995)(generally discussing § 371).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in Section 371. Both offenses require the traditional elements of Section 371 conspiracy, including an illegal agreement, criminal intent, and proof of an overt act.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#171E24">Although this language is very broad, cases rely heavily on the definition of "defraud" provided by the Supreme Court in two early cases,
<i>Hass v. Henkel</i>, 216 U.S. 462 (1910), and <i>Hammerschmidt v. United States</i>, 265 U.S. 182 (1924). In

. . . (A)ny conspiracy which is calculated to obstruct or impair its efficiency and destroy the value of its operation and reports as fair, impartial and reasonably accurate, would be to defraud the United States by depriving it of its lawful right and duty
of promulgating or diffusing the information so officially acquired in the way and at the time required by law or departmental regulation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#242424">To conspire to defraud the United States means primarily to cheat the Government out of property or money, but it also means to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful governmental
functions by deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest. It is not necessary that the Government shall be subjected to property or pecuniary loss by the fraud, but only that its legitimate official action and purpose shall be defeated
by misrepresentation, chicane or the overreaching of those charged with carrying out the governmental intention.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#171E24">The general purpose of this part of the statute is to protect governmental functions from frustration and distortion through deceptive practices. Section 371 reaches "any conspiracy
for the purpose of impairing, obstructing or defeating the lawful function of any department of Government."
<i>Tanner v. United States</i>, 483 U.S. 107, 128 (1987); <i>see</i> <i>Dennis v. United States</i>, 384 U.S. 855 (1966). The "defraud part of section 371 criminalizes any willful impairment of a legitimate function of government, whether or not the improper

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#171E24">The word "defraud" in Section 371 not only reaches financial or property loss through use of a scheme or artifice to defraud but also is designed and intended to protect the
integrity of the United States and its agencies, programs and policies. <i>United States v. Burgin</i>, 621 F.2d 1352, 1356 (5th Cir.),

government or its agencies in order to obtain property of the government, or that the defendant performed acts or made statements that he/she knew to be false, fraudulent or deceitful to a government agency, which disrupted the functions of the agency or of
the government. It is sufficient for the government to prove that the defendant knew the statements were false or fraudulent when made. The government is not required to prove the statements ultimately resulted in any actual loss to the government of any property
or funds, only that the defendant's activities impeded or interfered with legitimate governmental functions.
