One that is interesting to me is "conversion of government property or governmental "things of value." The federal government has successfully prosecuted some leakers under this statute, but the federal circuit courts of appeal disagree about whether, and what, information can be a "thing of value." I think this should be applicable to the Mueller persecutors who wiped their phones -- the information on their phones is govt property and they have no right to delete it.
