13-04-04 What is Kleptocrat? Kleptocracy?

From a discussion board:
 

Kleptocrat(s) is derived from Kleptocracy.  I consider the Meriam Webster definition below deficient and euphemistic, since they failed to explicitly realate it to stealing from the People by kleptocratic governments.

See, in contrast, the definition for kleptomania:

klep·to·ma·nia

 noun \ˌklep-tə-ˈmā-nē-ə, -nyə\

: a persistent neurotic impulse to steal especially without economic motive

________________

klep·toc·ra·cy

 noun \klep-ˈtä-krə-sē\

plural klep·toc·ra·cies

Definition of KLEPTOCRACY

: government by those who seek chiefly status and personal gain at the expense of the governed; also : a particular government of this kind

— klep·to·crat  noun

— klep·to·crat·ic  adjective

How about lawful appointment records for any of the clerks of the US and state courts?
