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.’”

She will never be prosecuted.

The Clintons have long been above the law.

Besides, my e-mail is my business and people don’t care about that stuff.

And for Hillary - what’s a little felony to stand in the way of her presidential dream?

She can’t backtrack and say she didn’t know she had them. She’s already admitted she had them. Now come’s the Clinton word parsing. She thought all those other emails were not official as the statement says.

Jen Psaki already confirmed that.

We can’t find it.

Since when does Hillary sign anything? Forms are for the little people.

Bingo. I'd bet a paycheck she hasn't signed her name to any such thing, or for that matter, anything else she didn't absolutely have to.

With the onset Alzheimer’s Hillary may have to reconsider her run at the presidency.

Trust me. Hillary signed nothing of the sort.

Do we believe this mafia mayflower would ever sign anything that pledged anything that followed with, ...”at risk of perjury or federal offense.”

Not a chance. Her sig will be found nowhere near such a document, let alone on it.

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

That's the question. The debriefing is mandatory according to the manual so it would have been delegated to somebody.Wish I was the life insurance beneficiary of that person...

"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.

I don't expect that form will appear, more any more emails from Hillary. Those docs can only do harm.

Huma: “Hillary, the State Department wants you to sign this form before you leave.”

Hillary: “Bwahahahaha!”

Huma: “Hillary... [snort... chuckle....] c’mon, this is serious...”

Hillary: “Bwahahahaha!”

Huma: “Bwahahahaha!”
