In my column on the plea agreement the Obama Justice Department allowed David Petreaus to enter after it was discovered that he mishandled classified information, I noted that he had been required to sign a separation agreement when he left the CIA. It is called a “Security Exit Form” and is obviously the CIA version of the State Department departure form described in Jim’s post (and linked in Shannen’s column) that Secretary Clinton should have signed upon leaving government service. The prosecutors’ outline of the evidence against Petraeus includes the following (at pages 11-12, paragraph 27): [O]n or about November...

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday the agency is “fairly certain” that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not sign a separation statement upon her departure from Foggy Bottom. “We don’t have record of it,” Psaki admitted. “Can you put to rest the questions that you have not been able to answer to this point about former Secretary Clinton, whether she signed this separation form or not?” asked The Associated Press’ Matt Lee. “Well, we have reviewed Secretary Clinton’s official personal file and administrative files and do not have any record of her signing any of the 0F-109,”...

Former counsel to vice president Dick Cheney and contributing editor to National Review Shannen Coffin said there’s “no doubt” that, if Hillary Clinton signed the usual exit form claiming she turned over all relevant records to the State Department, she “knowingly and willfully” violated federal law and could face fines or imprisonment.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki couldn’t tell reporters on Thursday if Hillary Clinton signed an official records form presented to all employees as they leave the department — a crucial question in determining whether the former Secretary of State committed a felony by failing to turn over government e-mail records. Former Department of Justice lawyer and National Review contributing editor Shannen Coffin noted this week that Clinton should have signed form OF-109 as part of her standard exit from the department. That form declares that she turned over all relevant records at the time of her departure — and stipulates...

State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki refused to answer whether Hillary had signed the State Department's separation agreement when she left the department. A Former DOJ attorney Shannen Coffin believes that Hillary Clinton committed a crime if she signed the Department's Form SF-109 STATE-USIA Separation Form and still retained 50,000 emails on her private server. All employees of the State Department are required to sign a document called the SF-109 STATE-USIA Separation Form upon the end of their employment with the department. When asked if Hillary Clinton signed the form, Psaki said: "I think this has been asked, it was more...
