There are really just two main dilemmas for the former secretary of state.

Did she sign an exit statement from the State Department saying she turned over all public information to the government?

Did she sign it, yes or no?

Today Ed Henry put that question to Mrs. Clinton: 

ED HENRY: “Hi Madam Secretary, did you sign this separation statement before you left State?”

HILLARY CLINTON: “Hi everybody, nice to see you.”

HENRY: “Did you sign that statement?”

Hillary Clinton goes into a hotel. 

I'm confused.  Why did she not answer Ed's question?

I'm also confused because the State Department surely knows the answer but is stonewalling. 

REPORTER: “Last week, I think a couple of times you were asked about whether the department has a record of former Secretary Clinton signing the separation form.”

JEN PSAKI, STATE DEPT. SPOKESPERSON: “I don't have an update on this, Matt. We're still working on it, I understand.”

REPORTER: “I mean, you know, a human resources department presumably has a file on every employee.  It can't be that difficult to  --“

PSAKI: “I don't think former Secretaries are –“ 

REPORTER: “They don't have files?”

PSAKI: “--  standard employees.”

REPORTER:  “They might not be, but how hard can it be to find whether she did or not?”

PSAKI: “I understand why you're asking, we're looking to get an answer, I don't have an answer today.”

Why not?  This has been going on for 14 days. 

Here's another question: Who is telling Ms. Psaki to stonewall?

Somebody is.  John Kerry's in charge, but he's negotiating nukes with the Iranians.  Why would he care about the exit document?

I mean, this is so strange.  Everybody knows the State Department is dodging; why are they doing it?

It's similar to the Bowe Bergdahl situation.

Everybody knows the Army knows exactly what Sgt. Bergdahl did in Afghanistan, so why delay the announcement?

The fallout will be the same now or in two months.  Why embarrass a proud institution like the Army by playing games?

None of this makes any sense.

There is no way that Hillary Clinton can avoid the separation agreement deal with State.  She either signed it or she didn't.  So say it already.

All of this is insulting to we the people.  We paid Hillary Clinton's salary and we pay Jen Psaki's salary.  Public officials answer to the folks, only they don't.

I for one am teed off.  This game-playing at our expense is horrendous.

However, the separation agreement is the least of Hillary Clinton's problems.   The email deletions will make that look like small change.

Sooner or later, most likely later, Mrs. Clinton will have to testify under oath about her emails.  That will be high drama.

It may be true that she is not guilty of anything and that presumption should be stated.

But Hillary Clinton is now a star witness in the court of public opinion, which is a rough place for folks who evade legitimate questions.

Americans should want powerful people to be held accountable for what they do on the public's dime.

Enough with the evasions.  Let's have some straight talk.

And that's the memo.
