I presume a subpoena by a US attorney might get access to documents, but I imagine it would have to address specific items so as not to be considered a fishing expedition.

The statute of limitations does not cover fraud.

"The statute of limitations does not cover fraud." Actually, it does, both federally and in the states. Each state is different, and the feds have dozens of varying types of fraud charges, each with their own SOL.
However, the feds (and some states), are masters at the RICO charge, which can "reach back" beyond the SOL expiration date, to build a foundation for the RICO case. So, while you can't be prosecuted for the specific fraud if the SOL has passed, that incident can still be rolled into the the larger RICO indictment.

Should not those records belong to the citizens of the State of New Mexico? Maybe I am unaware and it is SOP for ex-governors to have the right to control access to their public papers and records, but if a departing governor of my State tried to do this I would expect the local press to go ballistic. We are NOT talking about national security here, which could and should apply to certain parts of a President's records. Richardson was just a f***ing governor!
Also, how does this square with the Alaskan e-mail dump from Gov. Palin's time in Juneau that's scheduled for later this year?

"I presume a subpoena by a US attorney might get access to documents, but I imagine it would have to address specific items so as not to be considered a fishing expedition. " You would be surprised. Federal grand jury public corruption investigations are SWEEPING. If the feds have a solid foundation for a case, they'll be looking at his 3rd grade report cards.
Honestly though, can you imagine if a Republican governor had done this? Its surprising that a law like this exists, given the sunshine laws that have been passed in most states the last 30-years.
What state law giveth, state law can taketh away.

Richardson agreed to turn over his records under the condition that for the next eight years, only four people would have access or be able to grant access to the documents Access??! I don't need no friggin access grant. I can take as many documents as I can stuff in my pants.

How is it that public records can be sealed for other than for matters of national defense matters??

I have no doubt that Susana would go after him. If it weren’t for this law, Gary King would be the only friend he has to cover for him.

Ok, outside of an active police investigation or a national guard issue,,, why does a state EVER warrant the use of such secrecy? They don’t exactly have nuclear missiles.

Richardson was the one who said, in Spanish, that Obama was an immigrant, was he not?
I’m just saying.

In the early days of seeking the Dem nomination for president, Richardson referred to Barry as “an immigrant”, as I recall.

Richardson's action is allowed under a state law passed in 1967, Records Center Director Sandra Jaramillo said ... I think the law needs updating and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it comes under scrutiny in the next 60 day legislative session. However, Susana's got a lot on her plate right now.
