Why Was CIA Director Petraeus Required to Sign Separation Form If Secretary Clinton Was Not?

In reading some news stories she was supposed to but didn’t ...

[Da Coyote]

Easy.

The wench can’t read.

Some people are more equal than others!

[pepsionice]

It was too complicated. She’s already admitted that she can’t handle carrying two Blackberry/cellphones...way over her head. So just signing such a form? Nope, just too complicated.

[Dr. Thorne]

No one expects a Clinton to follow the law.

[southland]

Some people are more equal than others!

[Jewbacca]

Of course she signed it.

It was “lost” in order that she not be prosecuted.

[a fool in paradise]

What difference could it possibly make at this time, anyhoo?

[a fool in paradise]

No controlling legal authority...

[Michael.SF.]

She was very shrewd on this one: Not signing the form can be explained away in a thousand ways. Signing the form and doing what she knew she was doing could put her in jail.

She knew exactly what she was doing and only a lib will believe otherwise.

When I retired from the military I was required to sign a non-disclosure statement that said I would not reveal any classified information.

[surrey]

Didn’t I just hear that Patraeus is advising Barry’s administration on something or other? Why?

[Noamie]

I actually believe that Clinton did not sign the contract - but she did so knowingly. She was purposefully keeping herself out of a legal tangle.

They need to make it a felony to not sign the thing for starters.

[weston]

Of course she signed it.

Yep! No one said she didn’t sign it. It was only reported the form was not found in her personnel file. Nor were they found in former Sec of State files.
Most likely those forms are stored together elsewhere.(like archive office). Most likely they were removed.

[Leaning Right]

It was too complicated. She’s already admitted that she can’t handle carrying two Blackberry/cellphones.

That's gotta be it. According to the article, Petraeus was required to sign four separation documents in total. In Hillary's mind, that would require four different pens!

I would ask any reasonable person, who in the world carries around four pens at once? So give the old gal a break.

[pepsionice]

Petraeus was a multi-task orientated guy. I’m not sure Hillary would even say that she was a single-task person. She’d probably respond to any problem with: “call the foundation”.

[BRK]

Because the State Department is a train wreck. No one even tries to enforce regulations there anymore, not even the IG.

[SMARTY]

I’m convinced now, Evita is dumb as dirt.

How else could someone mishandle EVERY SINGLE THING they touch?

[Rainier1789]

Rules and forms are for the little people.
