Wow, thanks for the ping!! I hope someone stays on this story — one thing that thesis adviser Rakove should be asked about immediately is whether HE knows of anything to substantiate Shrillary’s claims..... in other words, reporters could/should try to put him in the limelight, he is a supposedly distinguished historian and academic after all, he should not be allowed to practice Clintonista evasions (I know, how naive I am).
Interesting that Chelsea’s thesis is said to be disappeared from the Stanford library - I believe it’s generally the practice at universities that have undergrad honors theses to keep them shelved in the library — reporters should find out whether this thesis is being withheld within the rules of Stanford, whatever they may be, or is it some special favor to the Clintonistas that will not stand up to scrutiny.
After all, this is an ACADEMIC document about an actual piece of HISTORY. I thought it was dubious than anyone should be allowed to write an academic thesis for a degree requirement on a matter of such close and intense personal and family interest..... after all, objectivity just might be a problem when you are 21 year old Chelsea writing about your step-daddy’s supposed accomplishments.....
But given that Stanford’s Dept. of History allowed Chelsea to take this on as a thesis for her honors degree, they should be pressured to treat this document as part of the HISTORICAL record as any academic thesis is supposed to be. They are trying to deny this document to contemporary scholarship about the details of the Irish peace process — maybe some journalist needs to get a practicing historian of recent Irish history to request the thesis for an academic research project and see what Stanford tries to say to that....
maybe hillary had it put under lock and key.
also, isn’t it amazing how documents that are anywhere around hillary all seem to go missing ? (rose law firm records, fbi files, chelsea’s thesis, etc. etc.)
