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.

Since you have accused Cruz supporters of spitting in Jim Robinsons face please post a link and a copy of the offending post because I read Jim Robinson's thread and saw no such post.

Just peruse the Trump-hating links from today.

There's your answer.

Oh, BTW - you didn't notice the posts that got pulled from that thread?

There are ways to see the deleted posts, if you know how to do it. I saw a couple of them.

You said that Cruzers attacked Jim Robinson on his thread today. I checked all the posts on his thread since yesterday afternoon and saw no such attack. There also were no deleted posts from today or late yesterday on that thread. So please prove your allegation or walk it back.

I can understand your having issues with posters, but what does that have to do with the policies Cruz supports? Cruz does not control what anyone says but himself. Whatever your reason were for supporting Cruz before are no less true today.

It’s all good. Do as you wish. I still thought your post was funny.

No, I didn't, "Cruzer".

I said you "Cruzers" spit in his face after he asked for calm.

Quit putting words in my mouth.

Oh, BTW:

Well, he tried at least.

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

Who did that?

Look at the timing - these should come out in April. According to the Trumpkins, Trump should have the nomination sen up by then, right? So it looks like the plan would be to wait until Trump gets the nomination, and THEN dump the negative stuff on him.

Your post demonstrates that the last deleted post was early yesterday afternoon. So, there appears to be no Cruzers post today that you are upset about.

What did it for me were the attacks on Palin.

I wouldn't have attacked Palin had she declared for Cruz.

As a matter of fact, she declared for Cruz in his Senate campaign. This is how the freeper "Cruzers" repay her.

So, conservativejoy and Obadiah - are you "Cruzers", or are you Cruz supporters?

There's a difference. If you're Cruz supporters, we'll agree to disagree, and I won't post to either of you about Trump or Cruz.

"Cruzers" are fair game...

"Actually a good thing. Get the dirt (if there is any) out early"

I agree. And it can't be released until April so it won't really be a factor in the primaries. Strategically good move.

That there are 500 pages of info on Trump at the Clinton library, is another reason why Trump is not my first choice for POTUS.

Jim Robinson asked for civility early yesterday afternoon.

The "Cruzers" spit in his face today. Go check any Trump-hatin' thread.

They could have voiced their disapproval on the main announcement thread, but they just flooded FR for 2 days straight of some of the most vile stuff. One poster even called her “Caribou Barbie”, the name that leftists used to belittle her!

If that is the criteria you are using, I would suggest you look at the Trump supporters as well. The insults and name calling have been flowing in both directions.

But a Trump supporter calling Glen Beck a "faggot" for supporting Cruz is okay?

LOL! Glen Beck isn't a "faggot", but I'm hardly unbiased when it comes to him. Not a fan. My conservative pals get on me for shutting the radio off when Glen & Stuey start yukking it up, which is most of the time these days.

I wrote: "I wouldn't have attacked Palin had she declared for Cruz."

Let me rephrase that:

I would have attacked anyone who attacked Palin had she declared for Cruz, fellow Trumpkin or not.
