Open the First Lady files template_bas template_bas Hillary Clinton should help the National Archives put release of her White House papers on a fast track. August 29, 2007 In asking a federal court to force the National Archives to release papers from Hillary Rodham Clinton's time as first lady, the public interest group Judicial Watch has opened itself to the charge that it's on a fishing expedition. Maybe so, but the group is fishing with a license -- the Freedom of Information Act. That law allows citizens to inspect public documents after deletions are made for privilege or national security. Judicial Watch, a conservative group that nevertheless tried to pry loose the records of Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force, says the National Archives has stymied its attempt to get hold of the former first lady's calendars, appointment logs and memos. A spokeswoman for the National Archives pleaded that, given limited personnel, the agency probably wouldn't be able to screen and release the papers until after next year's presidential election. You don't have to be a Hillary hater to find that unacceptable.

Oh God....Judicial Watch is PATHETICALLY INCOMPETENT!! It RUINS all it tries to do.
I thought it said “flies” not “files.”
Hmmmmm...is the LA Times trying to save itself?
Why is this in bloggers?
Can you name me one other firm or outfit that has asked to see the Hillary files?
However the judge rules, the famously organized Clinton campaign should do what it can to help the National Archives comply with Judicial Watch's request. What better way to say that the first-lady-turned-presidential candidate has nothing to hide?Absolutely precisely.
Too bad it's Judicial Watch. Not ready for prime time.
For some one who is apparently clueless, what are the problems with Judicial Watch?
DFU, I’m getting the feeling that your efforts will pay off.
Yes, I’m an optimist but this is nice and there is no denying it.
Makes you wonder if Judicial Watch’s real goal is to run interference for the Clintons. They don’t have a good success rate in the end.
The tactics of Mrs. Bill Clinton are not unlike those of Saddam Hussein. Both try to block access to documents/locations that they claim contain no damning evidence but you can’t look anyway.
To my knowledge, they won few, if any, any of the law suits they filed. More importantly and again, to my knowledge, none of the corrupt government officials they went after were convicted or spent any jail time.
Bluster and noise. But toothless.
Liberal Press Editorial Alert.
I volunteer some time to help them release these. I’m sure plenty of FReepers would be glad to help so this could happen before the election!
Come on, Administration...push for the funding necessary to get them up to date hardware and software to make this happen!
AMEN!!~ I think they DO run interference for the Clintons because they have SCREWED EVERYTHING they have touched!
