That's odd. I thought SOX applied to public corporations.

How a guy was charged with violating it seems odd.

Too bad SOX doesn't apply to government.

Specifically, Hilary Clinton's email scandal would be a crime under SOX, as would be the recent IRS data destruction.

The problem isn't that there aren't laws that criminalize these activities, there are.

The problem is that the government will never prosecute itself, and thus the government lets the corrupt get away with it increasing corruption over time.

One example of this is that there's been no reform of voting systems despite their failure in 2001, and increasing evidence of voter fraud in every presidential election since.
