Besides, the media says....

Can somebody translate this for those of us who didn’t go to law school? When you get a minute. The article seems to contradict the headline.
Mrs. Clinton has ‘a strong interest in not being associated u”nwarrantedly with alleged criminal activity.’”
Funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Translation:
When there’s a sealed court record that might *hurt* a prominent Democrat (HRC) it stays sealed.
When there’s a sealed court record that might *help* a prominent Democrat (such as Jack Ryan’s divorce proceedings when he was running against BHO for senator from Illinois) it gets released.
All the rest is irrelevant legalese.
As I read it the National Archives under the 0bama administration is refusing to release the draft indictments of Hillary Clinton over the Whitewater fiasco and JW is suing to get them under the FOIA.
Is “Scintilla” more or less than “A Smidgen”?
Thank you. I had presumed that was the bottom line unspoken message, after a whole lot of huff and puffery.
Bump!
It's less. Two "Scintillas" equal one "Smidgen." Four "Smidgens" equal one "Iota."
You got it! Spot on.
Sounds rather subjective; like that quote from Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart in 1964. When asked to describe his threshold test for obscenity “I know it when I see it!”.
I guess she’s not “associated” with crime if her crime is withheld from public dissemination.
“While there may be a scintilla of public interest in these documents since Mrs. Clinton is presently a Democratic presidential candidate,”
More than a modicum of LYING by the National Archives
I think there is "mutually assure destruction" at play...Hillary could do a lot of damage to Obama if he didn't make sure she gets off scot-free on all of these charges.
Judicial Watch discovered that the National Archives holds draft indictments of Hillary Clinton related to the Whitewater scandal.
The petitioned the National Archives to release these public documents to them.
The National Archives refused, citing the privacy rights of Hillary Clinton, a public figure and married to the President of the United States when the investigation was ongoing, outweighed the public right to have access to a public document.
This is what is called misusing the law to protect the government and a political figure from the public. The privacy laws were intended to protect the public from the government. They have turned the whole thing around in order to provide continued cover for the Clinton Organized Crime Family. The same thing is going on over at the IRS, the FBI, the Justice Department, the EPA, the State Department, etc., etc.
LOL!! too funny
We may have just heard a loud “KRICK” as somebody stepped on a land mine....
No harm, no foul, as long as you don’t step OFF that land mine, or even shift around too much.
There are also kernels and grains in that math.

Yep, I’ve no doubt there’s a “mutually assured destruction” going on with these two turkeys.
