Judge Allows Questioning Over Clinton Records


National Archives Representative Must Answer Conservative Group's Questions, Federal Judge Orders

Mar 20, 2008 10:45 am US/Eastern

WASHINGTON (AP) ― A federal judge is forcing the National Archives to undergo questioning by a conservative group seeking the release Hillary Rodham Clinton's telephone logs during her years as first lady.

The telephone logs cover 20,000 pages.

U.S. District Judge James Robertson has authorized a lawyer for the group Judicial Watch to explore in coming weeks why the archives processes some requests before others.

The archives will have to produce at least one witness to answer Judicial Watch's questions.

The Clinton presidential library has hundreds of pending requests for the release of records. On Wednesday, the archives disseminated more than 11,000 pages of Mrs. Clinton's daily calendars from her White House years.

Clinton's early job as health care policymaker gave way during the remainder of her years as first lady to a more traditional, restricted role, according to thousands of pages of calendars outlining her activities in the White House.

1. Don't post this here

Judicial Watch is a right wing organization. I don't think the Obama campaign is behind this but we don't want it to look like they are by posting this stuff here with Obama avatars.

2. I don`t give a shit about this group.But what I do think is important is this...

Let me quote from the article:

She also pushed NAFTA on multiple occasions, including one in November 1993 at a closed meeting with 120 expected participants. As a presidential candidate, she blames the pact for costing jobs and promises to renegotiate it.

The calendars raise at least as many questions as they answer about her statements in the campaign promoting her foreign policy experience.

For example, the calendars show that on problems in the Balkans, she met for 30 minutes in Washington on April 21, 1999, with the Macedonian ambassador to the United States, followed by her May 14, 1999, trip to the Balkans. What is unclear is whether that experience justifies her statement on the campaign trail that "I negotiated open borders to let fleeing refugees into safety from Kosovo."
