State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday the agency is fairly certain that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not sign a separation statement upon her departure from Foggy Bottom.
We dont have record of it, Psaki admitted.
Can you put to rest the questions that you have not been able to answer to this point about former Secretary Clinton, whether she signed this separation form or not? asked The Associated Press Matt Lee.
Well, we have reviewed Secretary Clintons official personal file and administrative files and do not have any record of her signing any of the 0F-109, Psaki said.
Psaki added that they also could not find forms signed by Clintons predecessors Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell either.
So, when you say that you do not have any record of her signing it, does that mean that there is no such document with her signature on it in the file? Lee followed up.
That we have found access to? Yes, Psaki said.

Unreal.
She must’ve emailed it in, but accidentally filed it under “Personal”.
The date listed on the bottom of the form is 06-2005. Colin Powell left office on 1-26-2005, so that removes him from the list!
“State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday the agency is fairly certain that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not sign a separation statement upon her departure from Foggy Bottom.
Not a prob. Just charge the relevant officer with this neglect of his or her duty. Make an example of he or she.

It appears that only Departmental Regulation to sign the form, but not any law, was violated.
I may be, and often am, wrong, though.
Did somebody sign it for her thinking it was somehow "legal"?

Somebody is lying...
I was a little confused about what the optional meant too, but I think it means that the GSA doesn’t require it of all departments, but if State requires it, you must sign. According to the info I found the State Department requires the form to be signed and returned when the personal ID is returned.
The Clinton's wouldn't be that devious and crooked enough to destroy all the previous copies,... would they?

Did she get her separation slip so she could collect Unemployment ,LOL
Yes, they would.
The form supposedly goes here:
Program Manager, DS Office of Domestic Operations, Security Support Division, Systems Operations Branch (DS/DO/DFP/SO), Main State, Room B237, telephone 202-647-4418.
Yes, which is why Departmental Regulation (required by the Dept. of State) may have been violated here, but not law.

Forms are revised all the time. It would be routine for any large organization to have people acknowledge in writing that they have returned all materials belonging to the organization as part of a checklist used to make sure that nothing has been overlooked.
I remember spending most of a day traveling the length of a military post visiting practically every department to get signatures verifying that I was cleared to transfer to another post.
The post library would sign that I didn't owe them any books. The enlisted men's club that I didn't owe any unpaid tab. The motor pool that I didn't have a vehicle checked out that hadn't been returned.
It's unimaginable that any large government organization would be lacking the same sort of process.
Did Hillary draw a salary while Secretary of State? Perhaps someone should ask how the government knew to stop her pay? Did they simply rely on Hillary's word as to when and how much she should be paid? Or do they have a detailed process for adding people and deleting people from the payroll? Security issues would be handled with similar rigor.
Eggsactly!
First, bring a suitable action that both compels her to comply with the law and penalizes her for any failure to do so.
Secondly, while the nation awaits the outcome of the above, terminate any federal benefits or privileges of any kind that may be due or accruing as a result of her employment, pending receipt of that fully executed statutorily mandated document.
Thirdly, upon the failure of the federal government to do each of the above, the Congress shall formally declare there are two types of citizens in the United States: those elected or appointed to government positions with all the benefits they deem appropriate, and those not elected or appointed.
Yes, yes. Okay, you overlooked signing the document. Put a fresh new copy in front of her, TODAY. Sign it. If she doesn’t sign it, why not? If she does, well, she subjects herself to perjury.
