When Hillary quit being Secretary of State, she was supposed to sign a form that said she had turned over all of her work related emails. It is a crime to lie on this form. But the "most transparent administration in history" is refusing to say whether or not she signed this form.

It should take the State Dept less than 15 minutes to find Hillary’s exit documents. Anything more is obstruction of justice.

Hillary knows laws don’t apply to her. She’s proven it time and time again.

If she didn’t sign the form, that’s a felony as well as her failure to turn over promptly before her departure from office to the State Department all official records from her time as Secretary Of State.

I’d advise Mrs. Clinton to retain legal counsel.

Possible answers:

1. Probability 75%. Yes, she signed it but we can't find it.

2. Probability 24.99%. No, this process was somehow overlooked when Ms. Clinton left office.

3. Probability .01%. Yes, she signed it and we will post a copy of it on the internet within the hour at OF-109.gov.

If she didn't that would be quite revealing...and possibly criminal to boot.

100% probability “We think she signed it, but we can’t find it.” Leaves room for argument either way, a Clintonian hallmark. It’s impossible to prove anything.

Congress should require the form along with any and all communications regarding Clinton’s separation.

Headline is very misleading and inaccurate, it should say something like:

CONGRESS allowing Hillary and State Department to keep Records Secret!!

Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency
Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

Sharkboy: “Shut up,” she explained.

I first heard that line from a guy named Ray O’Keefe, a lawyer from Florida.

ALL: As for Hillary’s emails, I hope we’re not all getting excited over nothing. It’s happened many times before.

“If she didn’t sign the form, that’s a felony”

So it’s a felony not to sign the paperwork.

It’s a felony to sign the paperwork and not turn over the server.

Sounds like Mrs. Clinton is a Felon.

Gotcha!

Who was responsible for making her sign it and filing it? Maybe it was some underling who didn't want to end up in Fort Marcy Park.
