Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's calendar entries are full of unexplained private meetings on key dates when she and President Clinton were fending off a variety of scandals, the newly released White House records show.
Take Jan. 21, 1998. That's the day when most Americans first learned, courtesy of the Washington Post, that President Clinton had had a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Mrs. Clinton's calendar entry shows that she left the White House at 7:25 pm that evening and returned 25 minutes later. The National Archives, which released the 17,484 calendar pages today, has excised the reason for the brief trip and the names of any of the people whom Mrs. Clinton may have met. The Archives, working in consultation with President Clinton's representatives, cite privacy concerns in blacking out all details of the trip.
Dec. 22, 2000 also remains a bit of a mystery. That's the day when Mrs. Clinton and the President met in the White House with a New York rabbi who successfully lobbied President Clinton to commute the sentences of four Hassidic men who had been convicted of massive fraud and conspiracy. The commutations were extremely controversial at the time, and photos of the meeting exist. And yet, there's no mention of it in Mrs. Clinton's daily log. The calendar simply lists four separate "private meetings" in the Map Room that day, with no names attached.
On Jan. 4, 1996, the calendars also record four "private" meetings that the First Lady held with her chief of staff, Maggie Williams, and undisclosed others. That's the same day that one of the First Lady's aides discovered a stack of Mrs. Clinton's law-firm billing records in the private quarters of the White House. Whitewater investigators had been searching for the subpoenaed documents for months.

The dance continues.
Unintentionally funny quote from this reporter. Why WOULD Hillary have a "foreign policy meeting"? She was the first lady.
Whew, and this is from DNCNBC.com ? They must be sweating buckets, waiting for the Clinton hitmen to arrive!
Who did the sanitizing, Bill?
Every redacted moment was most likely related to scandal (plotting scandalous activity for the future, or responding to scandals past and present.)
No national security issues there, nothing to hide except her own shame. She was first lady, not President. Her job was scheming and damage control.
Hope you all didn’t really expect full disclosure here. “Private meetings” indeed. As if the White House were her own private property. I know SHE views it that way, but...
Donations and pardons?
That was a staged photo op.
I thought Drudge brought us the story of Monica, not WaPo. She should demand a retraction. ;-)
No doubt the purpose of the trip was to replenish the ashtray and fine china inventories in the White House Presidential residence, in preparation for giving BJ Clinton the butt kicking of his life...
I know one person she met with around the lewinsky time frame. Her name is mary beth matthews and she teaches law at the universitu of arkansas. She abruptly canceled class for a week at that time under the pretense that she was finally invited to the lincol bedroom. It was well known that she and her husband were part of the clinton’s damage control team.
What a great time for a reminder of what the Clinton years were like. Obama operatives need to push this to the front pages. Hillary = done.
They're doing a great job damaging each other.
