Is it legal to limit a search to only H1B applicants? Do people see this often? Is it reasonable to expect a US applicant would be difficult to find? Or is it just no one would expect a US applicant to work for the mentioned salary in the Metro Boston area?

Great comment, but one thing I'd add, is that it seems you hear all over that Clinton didn't violate any laws. That seems awfully presumptuous -- Are they really saying that intercepting official communications is not covered by that vast Federal code? I'm sure that buried in it somewhere is a rule making it illegal to intercept the physical mail destined for a public office, hoarding it at home, then destroying it later. I would be shocked if intercepting digital communications destined for that public office, hoarding them at home, and then destroying them later was not also illegal.
Just take a look at, in particular paragraph b, of the following statute. It was one of the things Ollie North was originally convicted on.

So again, she hasn't been proven to have violated laws. The impetus is on the sender not the receiver. As far as has been reported the emails that contained classified material were not marked properly, which would clear former Sec. Clinton of wrongdoing. Having a home server was not illegal until after her term and was a rule specifically created as a "gotcha" against Mrs. Clinton. If on the other hand they find that she did do something wrong, fine. As far as has been reported she's followed the legal advice she's been given and complied with the letter of the law. Just because she's guilty in the court of conservative American public opinion, doesn't mean that holds true in actual law. It's the same reason Pres. Reagan wasn't put in jail for treason, Pres G.W. Bush and VP Cheney aren't in jail for war crimes(which they admit to), and former Pres. Clinton isn't in jail for perjury(which..I mean..c'mon).

1: having a home server is beside the point.
2: I'm not convinced that was legal -- HRC was the only one of those DC scum who used private email, to actually use a private server. All the others used a third party server.
Mostly though, respond to this:
HRC had custody,
of an "other thing",
she willfully (meaning intentionally),
obliterated (deleted contents of) her server,
That's a fucking crime dickhead.

> willfully and unlawfully
Her argument is that everything she did, she did lawfully. All the other words in those statutes don't matter, the question is whether she could do them lawfully or not. She's stated that as head of the department of state it was within her authority to determine what records could be lawfully destroyed.
Whether you agree with her interpretation or not, the question of lawfulness is the key and it isn't addressed in the statutes you've quoted.

So what you are saying is that destruction of documents sent to the SOS is legal.
How much you want to be that if some unknown started deleting official documents he had access to, he'd get prison time?
