The National Archives released an announcement that the William J. Clinton Presidential Library will soon be publicly dumping almost 500 pages of information on Donald Trump. All of this has been made possible by a Freedom of Information Act request.
Some of the information will be benign. There is an autographed copy of one of Trump's books, for instance, and a photo of Trump with Bill Clinton. It is just that relationship that makes the documents interesting, though: Republicans will be eager to get their hands on anything that links Trump to the Clintons.
As Sarah Palin mentioned last night in her speech endorsing Trump for president, his detractors are always saying he isn't "conservative enough." Palin scoffed at this, but Trump's past - especially his brief presidential bid in 1999 - lends itself to the idea that his conservatism is more contrived than he wants the public to think. The documents from the Clinton Library will detail meetings held between Trump and Clinton as he got ready to run on the Reform Party's ticket. Further, a much more recent discussion, held between the former president and the real estate mogul in 2015 just before the latter announced his candidacy, will be made public, which could be damning for the campaign, depending on what tone the conversation took on.
The offices of Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have 60 days to review the involved documents and respond to the FOIA request with either a pass for release or a request for an extension. Assuming a stay is not requested, the documents will be available at the Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas in early April, becoming available online a few weeks after that.
Has Alberta Senator Ted Cruz weighed in on this yet?
Remember that the Bushes and Clintons have been in cahoots for years, so Jeb probably is encouraging this.
The Clintons are DESPERATE to face Cruz and CLOBBER him in the General election! It’s clearly evident given the media lighting the match and stoking the fires of the Trump/Cruz conflict.
Somehow I am guessing that the Clinton Foundation will be more efficient at releasing 500 pages than the State Department is at releasing emails.
Yippee now you guys can root for the Clintons to take out Trump, instead of that cuckoo conspiracy theory that Trump is running for Hillary’s sake.
Actually a good thing. Get the dirt (if there is any) out early. Bad move by the Arkansas Grifters.
Cruz Supporters - All Reposts, All the Time.
You know the perfect way to turn this around?
Ask the American people why Hillary won’t disclose her emails and other information, even though they included things that involved the public’s right to know.
When will we see what was in the Ford library when they had all the evidence on bj clunton during the impeachment?
There is already plenty. As well as Sharpton, Buffett, Soros, Harry Reid, etc, etc.
When you buy influence you’re only renting the silence.
Now they’re going to haggle over the price of the new lease.
“Further, a much more recent discussion, held between the former president and the real estate mogul in 2015 just before the latter announced his candidacy, will be made public, which could be damning for the campaign, depending on what tone the conversation took on.”
I thought private conservations that were being recorded had to be announced before the fact.
I’m sure there has been lots of conservations between Bill Clinton and other movers and shakers, especially with the Bushes.
Just asking, but what kind of seal of authenticity do Clinton records contain? Bill Clinton’s/Hillary Clinton’s word? Let’s all scurry off to the bank with that.
Defeat the democrats by voting for the guy who helped elect them. LOL
“This is FABULOUS news for Ted!”
Somehow, I do not think this will sway Trump supporters, but maybe I’m wrong.
This is certainly the Best Election Ever!
Trump or Cruz.
You know what happens when you attack Trump? Wonder what emails he has on them.
I thought you Cruz supporters were telling us that Trump was working with the Clintons? I cannot keep up with you Cruz supporters; your narrative keeps changing.
As a Cruz supporter, I lol’ed.
Now feel free to go back to praising your oligarch.
