Papers? I Don’t See Any Papers.

The former First Lady knows if those records went public, her chances for the Presidency would go down the drain. Corruption, extortion and threats were and are a part of the "Clinton Machine". It's not so much that people are entitled to know what went on during those eight years. It is her constant demand for acceptance as a viable candidate based on her experience. This is an experience that she will NOT reveal. Something smells afoul in Little Rock

To all the democrats who support Clinton and complain about Bush's executive privileges and secrecy of information, you might want to think twice. As this article points out (secrecy of information in a library, lol), she is nothing more then a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I would say "very odd, somewhat suspicious", but look who were talking about. If your last name is Clinton, your middle name should be scandle...

Maybe they're afraid Sandy Berger will stuff something important down his pants again...seriously though, if you have nothing to be ashamed of why not full disclosure? Very, very suspicious. We'd probably be able to link all the hinky Asian donors together with either Hsu or Seto or both.

The following clause is the nut of the article:

"",while publicly saying he wants to ease restrictions on his records, Clinton has given the Archives private instructions to tightly control the disclosure of chunks of his archive. ""

Of course I knew it had to be this way, but I'm glad to see that Newsweek is confirming it. I guess you did it becaude a lot of people know and you wanted to be the quoted source.

If you remember the Jane Sherburne Memo - the 12-page "task list" compiled by Associate
White House Counsel Jane Sherburne in December, 1994 that was really a list of publicly known Clinton scandal relatyed matters released on August 15, 1996 to Rep. William Clinger's Government Reform and Oversight Committee and printed in the Wall Street Journal in early September 1996, one of the issues was
n. Archives--abuse of personnel system (**)

Of course Clinbton had to be very interested in who was appointed theer, and it was only closeness to some people there that enabled Sandy Berger to steal some materials, in order to better deceive the 9/11 Commisison. he got caught because lower ranking people basically trapped him. The item on which he was strapped wass stealing copies of a memorandum - which he apparently was trying to prevent from reaching the 9/11 commisison in order to sell a fanstasy of stopping trrorists attacks on or abouit January 1, 2000. Another lie they told the 9/11 commision were aboput Clinton having wanted to kill bin Laden. I think any documents about the Sudan offer were probably destroyede by Sandty Berger while Clinton was still in office but he had to inspect the materials to see thweer was nothing there,

No doubt the Clinton's are interested in controlling their image and access to their papers, but this article's brush with the state of the law on public access doesn't help explain much.

Unlike what Isikoff says, the 1978 Presidential Records Act favored release and disclosure. The prolonged and extensive review by ex and current Presidents and their effective veto power on release is the creation of George W. Bush. Isikoff does say that Bush in under challenge in Federal Court in a convoluted wording, but his piece understates what a departure from existing law Bush made.

I am amazed, but not surprised that the Clinton Dynasty has decided not to open the records. There are a large number of "shady dealings" in achieving their political aspirations. An unusually large number of major donors that are and have been in jail, as well as close family members. In addition to the shady business dealings of whitewater, Bill committing perjury, providing pardons to family members and political donors, stealing the white house furniture and silverware, etc. Plenty of things to hide...

Is this really a suprise? Sounds like situation normal for most Democrats, please notice not all Democrats, so when it comes to disclosure it is in my opinion a joke.

More to the point is the fact of what can be kept secret and how do we keep it secret.

It would be one of the most egregious errors in history to have Hillary back in the White House, she has already been there, is that not already obvious to most folks...just speculation though she did not give up Bill because she did not and does not want to give up the power she thinks she has....yes I said thinks...

It is truly time to get some common sense and a modicum of moral values back in the Government of the United States of America instead of all the political correctness insanity that has been brought about mainly by the deluded ideas and denial of the liberal farce of thinking everything and anything goes...

This is an outrage and an out right massive scandal against the American voters. We deserve the right to know everything about whom we may possibly elect. You cant stand for transparency and then provide none on you the candidate running for our votes. Like going for a job interview and not providing an honest resume. We have to do it Hillary Clinton and so do you! So do what you say your going to do!
