Clinton to seal documents

Hillary Clinton, the woman who is going to bring the most transparent government we've ever seen, wants to keep keep documents from her husband's presidency from the public:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton cites her experience as a compelling reason voters should make her president, but nearly 2 million pages of documents covering her White House years are locked up in a building here, obscuring a large swath of her record as first lady.

Clinton's calendars, appointment logs and memos are stored at her husband's presidential library, in the custody of federal archivists who do not expect them to be released until after the 2008 presidential election.
[...]
"Those files -- that's the mother lode of opposition research," said Ray McNally, a Republican political consultant in Sacramento. "Opposition researchers would be very hungry to see what's there." Robert Shrum, senior political strategist in Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign, said: "In 2 million pieces of paper, would opposition researchers hope to find one where she wrote a memo saying, 'I wish I'd never gotten involved in healthcare?' Sure. That's what they'd love to find."

Comments

Of course she is sealing records, there is likely many items there she doesnt want us to see. But expect little if any outcry from the dying mainstream media. She is their gal.

I don't like the fact that Clinton is trying to keep secrets. She's a lot like a certain Senator I know who refuses to answer hard questions on here.

I was worried Northside that you had left us. Didn't sleep at all last night.

Good to see your fingers still dancing over the keyboard. Have a great day.
