Coffin: ‘No Question’ Hillary Committed Felony -- If She Signed the Usual State Dept Exit Forms
National Review ^ | March 12, 2015 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 03/12/2015 12:32:49 PM PDT by grundle

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.

On Fox News’s “Megyn Kelly” on Wednesday, Coffin explained that all State Department employees — including the Secretary of State — must sign a form OF-109, which declares that he or she has turned over all official records to the State Department as they leave their government position.

But Hillary did not turn over her e-mails, stored on a private home server, until after being asked by the State Department in late 2014.

“There’s no doubt, looking at that, that wherever the secretary had those records — if she had them in her Chappaqua home, if she had them in her office, if she had them somewhere else — she’s got to bring all of the records to the table, and turn over any official records at the time of her departure,” Coffin said. “Not — most definitely not — two years later.”

Kelly asked Coffin if Hillary broke the law if she did, in fact, sign form OF-109 upon leaving the State Department.

“If that’s the case, there’s no question,” he said. “The form itself says, ‘Hey, before you sign this, understand that you are certifying something that we can prosecute you for. Making a false statement in this context, knowingly and willfully’ — which, I can’t imagine anything more knowing and willful than knowing you have 55,000 records sitting in your home — ‘if you do that, it is a felony.’”

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.

I’m sure the search is on to see if anyone can locate this form signed by Hillary.

If she never signed it upon departure from then state departnent, then there’s no smoking gun is there?

Or if this form is mysteriously missing from her files, again, no smoking gun. She will say she doesn’t recall signing the firm if nobody can locate it.

That is a non sequitur.

Since when does Hillary sign anything?

Forms are for the little people.

she will take those felony charges with her to her coffin. She will never serve time. She is absolutely above the law.

Is she also not in violation of federal law if she DIDN’T sign the form?

Prediction: “Hillary, did you sign the OF-109 Form when you were leaving your job at the State Department”...to which Hillary will reply “I don’t recall”.

2nd prediction: The State Department will say they are “unable to locate” the OF-109 Form.

” she “knowingly and willfully” violated federal law”

And.... what difference does it make?

The only possible way that she will be in jeopardy is if this is a hit coming straight from Obama and Holder. Only Democrat knives are a danger to her.

Because the Gutless Old Party will award her a medal and nominate her for the Supreme Court before they will even say harsh things about her.

As always, it all depends on how you define “all”.

Would love to see her attired in a black and white striped prison pant suit.

Felonies mean absolutely nothing to these people.

They could shoot up a daycare center in broad daylight and nothing would happen to them.

Just like her law billing records mysteriously appeared at he White House.
This stuff happens frequently at the Clinton household.

The Benghazi committee should immediately subpoena her OF-109 from State Department. Let them explain why a routine standard form should not be released for oversight.

Is CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS asking if she signed this form or are they again going to cover for her?
