Clinton Library Gearing Up To Release 500 Pages of Info on Trump
Mediaite ^ | 1/20/2016 | Lindsey Ellefson

Posted on 01/21/2016 10:19:54 AM PST by conservativejoy

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.

Yeah, maybe Trump should’ve joined Beck on the border passing out Teddy Bears and soccer balls to illegals. LOL.

The republicans want to link Trump to the Clintons? That’s funny. Just check out the Bushes and be sure and check to see all of the republicans who voted to confirm Hillary for SOS.

Someone should file a Freedom of Information Request to see how much the Clinton library has on the Bushes. I remember Jeb Bush awarding Hillary Clinton some sort of medal a couple of years ago.

Guess Bubba wasn't too happy about Trump calling him a ........

Whatever is in those papers is likely known already. Trump is really an open book.

Whatever the crooked Clintons release on Trump, you can bet that Trump’s attorneys will release, at the appropriate time, what they have on the Clintons and it will be 20X worse.

We saw this coming months ago. Can you imagine how much the Clintons have on Donald Trump? If Donald Trump is the GOP candidate for President by then, which it looks more and more likely that he will secure that nomination, it is very possible that the content of the documents will guarantee that the democrats keep the White House.

Typical liberal, don’t have the balls to argue the point cited so they throw something else out there.

GFY coward.

Hillary’s theft of the FBI files come in handy.

As a Cruz supporter, I lol'ed.

Now feel free to go back to praising your oligarch.

I praised Ted Cruz until today.

When you Cruzers flipped off Jim Robinson, you lost me.

I didn't use the term "Cruzers" till today, either.

You win. It's on like Donkey Kong.

And all you guys had to do was be a little civil...

This is supposed also to chronicle Bill and Trump’s conversation that occurred just before Trump announced. Unfortunately, unless someone gets some leaks, April is too late to impact the primaries.

He ought to ask: “if they can do this, then what do they have on me”.

But it gives Trump another free news cycle none the less.

Actually a good thing

After that disgusting stuff the puppetmasters, across the political and media spectrum, used to try to force Trump out of the race, WE DON'T CARE. I see a man who stood strong and figured out the seemingly impossible odds against him. Why would he put up with it unless he is sincere about saving the US?

And all the wannabbees want to play trivial pursuit.

Go for it Clintons. You don’t have a clue about what you’re going to be hit with.

“When you Cruzers flipped off Jim Robinson”

Holy cow! They did that?

I’ve seen a couple get a little snippy with him, but this is really something that is off-limits.

Trump and Clinton had a conversation just before Trump announced. This is supposed to be among the information coming out.

If Trump can get his touch back amnesty enacted, he will have handed power to the Democrats for decades to come. Millions of new Democrat voters crossing the border will seal their power.

You go to the Clintons for solace and you have the nerve to call me a Liberal? Would you be as enthusiastic of the Clintons if they were going to release documents of Cruz? Of course you wouldn’t

You Cruz supporters are not only kooks, you’re hypocrites.

BTW, the point was unreleased documents...what specifics would you like us to discuss?
