I believe you are correct on the forms. Seems that this form was put in place after the others and before Hillary.
“I believe you are correct on the forms. Seems that this form was put in place after the others and before Hillary.”
I have a hard time believing that. The Federal Government always has forms to sign and oaths to take. I’m sure Rice and Powell had to sign something or take an oath for their jobs.
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.
