Hillary Didn’t Want You to See Her Signature on This Document She Signed as Secretary of State

One day after taking the helm of the State Department, Hillary Clinton signed a document known as a “Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement,” pledging to adhere to specific criminal penalties for an “unauthorized disclosure” of classified material.

The document, first obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and signed by the Democratic candidate for President, outlines her acknowledgement of potentially releasing sensitive information:

“I have been advised that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation.”

Further, the document contains language that would have required Clinton to take the necessary steps to ensure her information, like that transmitted via email, was stored in a safe manner:

“I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with appropriate management authorities in the Department… in order to ensure that I know whether information or material within my knowledge or control that I have reason to believe might be SCI.”

Clinton’s private email server, which operated out of her private New York residence and later stored in the bathroom closet of a loft, was not considered to be safe, the State Department noted in September.
