May as well see whatever is there (very likely nothing).

But good thing this wasn't a Sanders campaign manager - you know what would happen. It would be like Kucinich seeing a UFO.

Alway liked his politics...

That is the cheapest "con" I think I have ever heard at this level! So you can trust her on all of the MAJOR issues... NOT! But you would believe for a minute that she would declassify all of the X-Files? Podesta must think that we are all morons... Well of course he does!

We are more likely to see the Area 51 files before we ever se a hint of Clintons transcripts .....

The truth is out there .

She should run with it.

... maybe that's why the Clinton campaign is so nervous.

I want single payer healthcare, stronger social security, better taxation of billionaires and big corporations, free state college for my kids and grandkids, the big banks broken up, Glass-Steagall updated and re-passed, Citizens United and other rulings detrimental to real democracy overturned, aggressive leadership in mitigating global warming, publically renegotiated ('fair' instead of 'free') trade deals, and a foreign policy that de-stresses war and instead promotes social and economic justice.

About Area 51? I guess 'Men in Black' and 'Independence Day' did it for me...

On deck: furries!

UFO conspiracy folks will. Plus they just got all that they needed. Confirmation that there is something.

Maybe she can promise to reveal the secrets of life and the universe while she's at it.

Come one people, Yes, there is a logical reason to believe that there is live somewhere else in the universe, but Area 51 aliens? Please, that's as logical as believing Hillary turned a $1000 investment in cattle futures into a 1 in 35 Trillion long-shot 10 month return of $100,000.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson would tell you "go home, you're having a brain failure" :

Just sayin'

Area 51 is Hill's love nest

I knew it all along.

An anonymous reader writes:

In what seems like an April Fools' Day prank story but is surprisingly real, Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta, says that he has convinced Hillary Clinton to declassify as many documents as possible related to Area 51 and UFOs. On the matter of alien visitation, Clinton has previously stated that "I think we may have been (visited already). We don't know for sure." Meanwhile, Democratic rival Bernie Sanders has been dismissive of UFO talk. And on the other side of the isle, everyone surely already knows how likely Republican nominee Donald Trump feels about illegal aliens.

"The U.S. government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what's going on with unidentified aerial phenomena," said John Podesta, who was also a chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.

As much as modern life seems like 'Survivor'.

When did this happen?

Way more interesting than this Vatican nothingburger everyone is chewing on today. Ted Cruz might actually BE an alien, and not just because he is from Canada. Look, see the resemblance?

Which begs the question of what she's saying that needs to be kept away from reporters.

Well, I mean I suppose the reptilians won't feel they need disguises any longer once they've secured enough power, so...

How about the truth for why we have been essentially helping ISIS gain power.

UFOs? Who cares? Any flying object that you can't figure out what it is by definition a UFO, whether it's the ISS, migrating birds, or a plastic bag.

Pay no attention to the Panama Papers!

(Although I do believe it unlikely that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. Or at least I hope so, because this planet's fucked.)

A very creative way to pander to the "trekkie" and CT types.

When it comes to pandering and playing both sides of an issuw, nobody touches the Clintons

that Body Snatchers took over the Democratic Party.

...

..they will peel off their skin and the inner reptile will be exposed

.....and that explains why they won't act on climate change , lizards like it hot

Is this honestly all they have ?

aka 'pie in the sky'.
