33. Could his pension be in jeopardy?

It does beg the question of retention of documents after government service is over. There is an insane amount of precedence for it (every memoir by a former member of the government). So long as the material was not classified, I don't think a single person ever got in trouble for it. Can this material be legally retained? Technically it belongs to the government.

Releasing an official government document while still an employee?
