Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she couldn’t remember signing a non-disclosure agreement as secretary of state that laid out criminal penalties for mishandling classified information.
In an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier the day after she declared victory in the Democratic primary race, Clinton insisted yet again she never sent nor received any material over her private, unsecured email server that was marked classified.
“Secretary Clinton, you said you sent or received nothing that was marked classified, but you did sign a non-disclosure agreement, an NDA, in 2009 that said markings don’t matter, whether it’s marked or unmarked. You remember signing that?” Baier asked.
“No, I do not, but the fact is nothing that I sent or received was marked classified and nothing has been demonstrated to contradict that,” Clinton said. “What you are seeing acted out is the desire of different parts of the government to retroactively classify material so that it is not made public, since I did ask that all my emails be made public, and this is not an uncommon process.”
As Baier pointed out, Clinton’s NDA she signed upon joining the State Department rendered that talking point moot. She wrote more than 100 emails on the server the government now says are classified.
The Free Beacon reported in November on Clinton’s 2009 NDA signing that said there were criminal penalties for “any unauthorized disclosure” of classified material:
As the nation’s chief diplomat, Hillary Clinton was responsible for ascertaining whether information in her possession was classified and acknowledged that “negligent handling” of that information could jeopardize national security, according to a copy of an agreement she signed upon taking the job.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I don’t recall.
It has worked like a charm in the past.
It should not matter if she remembers signing it. If the signed NDA exists, then it is legally binding. If it doesn’t exist, and she handled classified information, then that is a violation of the law.
If it comes to it, Huma can take the fall by saying she signed Hillary’s name to it.
I haven’t worked with the State Department, but in a lot of federal areas, the training is annual. And security clearances have to be renewed regularly.
You can’t have the job and NOT know this stuff. You just can’t.
And remember: Knowing the rules doesn’t matter. Intent does not matter. Screwing up is screwing up. And if you screw up, you’re in deep trouble.
At least: if you are a little person.
Everyday you remember the terms of the NDA contract and follow them as agreed upon.
Complying with the terms of the NDA are so basic and so critical to doing the job of President or Secretary of State , if Hillary can't remember signing her NDA she is both mentally unfit for office and unable to conduct her affairs in a disciplined, professional and legal fashion.
The banana was green when I had it. I had no idea it would be yellow at some later date so no I didn’t have any yellow bananas.
So if she didn’t sign a non-disclosure agreement, is that supposed to mean she’s off the hook for compromising our national security? I don’t think so.
[Crooked Hillary]
Dementia - forgetfulness is an early symptom.
See # 7
she signed it 01 22 2009
I don’t remember signing a bunch of things I’m legally bound to.
Am I off the hook, then, or am I too much of a “little people”?
She is lying, again.
Anyone who has access to classified material, must review (and sign) the rules yearly.
I suppose she *could* have the excuse that she never saw the warnings that pop up whenever you sign in to a government computer. Because she was using her own private server.
Any ordinary person would be waiting trial already.
In one of the emails released a while back Huma described Hillary as “often confused.”
Exactly. I worked for a telecom company, and I remember having to sign FCC documents about listening in on conversations.
does Hillary even recall the last time she peed?
And not Tweeted by Trump. Again, missed opportunities.
Trump can’t afford to remain silent and let the enemy destroy themselves; I don’t buy that.
The media, including Fox, carries Hitlery’s water (piss bucket).
The masses have the intellect and political awareness of a 5th grader. He needs to hammer this stuff home. If not now, then when?
Her brain has turned to “JELLO” again I guess.
Just hang the bitch ...
