If Hillary Clinton Signed Form OF-109, She Committed A Felony
Investor's Business Daily ^ | March 13, 2015 | IBD EDITORIALS

Posted on 03/13/2015 6:45:46 AM PDT by raptor22

Transparency: Hillary Clinton insists she did everything by the book, that she broke no laws and heeded all regulations. That book is obviously not the State Department records management handbook.

The government's book says that you don't get to keep materials, classified or unclassified, in your personal possession and then get to sift through them at your leisure to decide which ones the government that paid you gets to see.

All documents are the property of the government. The State Department determines which ones are returned to you.

As Shannen W. Coffin, a contributing editor at National Review and senior lawyer at both the White House and Justice Department under President George W. Bush, points out, a provision titled "Removal Procedures" requires departing federal employees to relinquish any classified materials at the time of departure and to clear the removal through records-management officials.

State Department employees, from the secretary on down, have to abide by this process.According to Coffin, the records management handbook says, "(The) departing official or a staff member must prepare an inventory of personal papers and non-record materials proposed for removal."

What if she signed it, AND she turned it in, but the one she signed and the one she turned in are two different ones?

What if she says she signed it and gave it to some mid level staffer in Cincinnati to turn in?

It’s never too late to blame Bush on these matters.

You can download and look at form OF-109:

Form OF-109 - Separation from Government Service: Statement

This is a standard form and it would be a serious violation to have not had her sign this form, particularly for any executive position. But it is pretty much a standard part of the separation process when you leave government service.

This whole issue of the emails is clear cut.

Due to the Federal Records Act, whose stipulations are covered in US Code 44, Chapter 31, all government employees go through annual Security and records training where all of this is laid out to them. It is required to take that training, and you are automatically reminded of it each year.

Most positions, require disciplinary actions if this training is not taken, and the employee is not recorded as having taken it. The Training is an online course requiring teach employee to enter their name, email, and identifying information so that their compliance can be recorded.

The Records training makes it very clear that every email you send, or any other correspondence, article, paper, etc., which is in any way associated with your position and responsibilities, is by definition and official government record, and that it must be stored by the government.

This is grilled into every employee. Every IT worker in the US government is aware of this and there are servers, backup servers, and offsite storage up the ying-yang that have been created to ensure that the requirement is met.

If Hillary Clinton willing kept those records on her own private server and did not turn them over to the government (and those records are not meant to only be turned over at the end of their employ...they are required to be stored as they occur), then she is in violation of those laws as well...not to mention the laws and penalties spoken of during the separation process.

I hear these liberals talk about this...trying to indicate that it is no big deal. Well, they are wrong...it is a big deal. Those saying it is not are either completely ignorant...or they are intentionally lying to cover for Hillary.

It is some of the former, IMHO, and a lot of the latter.

The only reasons Hillary would have an email server in her own home is:

1) she is a complete computer geek who loves to dabble in all of the settings and permissions so as to be able to play email king.
2) She is going to offer email service to others.
3) She want to ensure that she and her people are completely in charge of her emails and can store them, disseminate them, and/or delete them completely without anyone else's knowledge or interference.

I will let you decide which it is...but if she did this with government emails, which are government records, then she is violating the law.

When are people gonna realize that these assclowns are untouchable? I don’t think, however well intentioned, that anybody in the doj or in the congress will ever bring any of these liars, cheats and thieves to any sort of charges. They just bluster their way right through with no consequences for their law breaking. Purty darn sad state of affairs. The shear arrogance and brazen way they handle any accusations is disguting. But when you have no morals, that’s how you are. And then there are the IPOS/SPOS who will support them regardless of what they do.

what if she signs and back dates the form, and if it shows up in her closet?”

It probably already went down yesterday, Obama and the Clinton crime syndicates are finishing off the bribes and threats today.

I believe that Krauthammer said if she signed it, it was perjury, if she didn’t sign it it, it was a felony.

The real question is, will the DOJ carry out it’s authority and make the arrest?

If not, the local Militia and a people's tribunal would be perfectly adequate.

"If she did sign one, what are the odds that it has been “misplaced”?"

They should arrange a quick check of Sandy Berger's socks..

I agree totally.

The day she passed the senate hearing for the job...she was in the process of getting the site set up and running....that was planned entirely to work this way from day one.

If they proceed through and get the hard drive....they can recover the bulk of what she deleted. It might take five months to assemble this data and then analyze it.

You can figure she’d have to appear in front of a senate committee by early January of 2016...just in the heat of the primary season. She’s ‘finished’....the questions over the emails to flip her campaign entirely. O’Malley’s campaign is guaranteed now to win unless Warren gets into the mix.

THIS JUST IN (FR POSTED)

There seems to be a solid connection between: (1) donors to the Clinton Foundation, (2) companies receiving contracts from foreign countries, and, 3) Clinton Foundation donors receiving favorable treatment from the State Dept.

<><> Sixty companies contributed $26 million to the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Forty four of those companies also contributed to a $3.2 billion dollar fund established at the Clinton Global Initiative (a wing of the foundation).

<><> At least 25 companies made contributions to fifteen private/public partnerships set up by ex-Pres Clinton;

And who administered all of them?.......the State Department w/ Hillary at the helm.
