Judicial Watch after Hillary's White House Diary and Documents
Group seeks access to Hillary’s White House records
By Klaus Marre
July 18, 2007
The watchdog group Judicial Watch revealed Wednesday that it is suing for access to documents from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) time as first lady.
The documents include Clinton’s daily office diary, her telephone logbook and her schedule.


More than a year ago, the group filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, which operated the Clinton Presidential Library records, but did not get access to the documents
----
The group filed its lawsuit Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

“Given Mrs. Clinton’s current status as a presidential candidate, if not the front-runner for the Democratic Party’s nomination, the public interest in her tenure as First Lady is undeniable,” the lawsuit stated. “Because Mrs. Clinton seeks our nation’s highest office and may well be the next President of the United States, the public interest weighs heavily in favor of enjoining the Library from continuing to withhold the records at issue.”

I wonder if the same request for papers concerning service while in the government has
been presented to all the candidates, or just to Hillary?:shrug:

3. Sorry. That was pretty reflexive, huh?
Put less dickishly, I would tend to doubt that any pertinent papers from the other Dems in the running are inaccessible. Especially since none of them are from an exec administration anyway.

7. S'Okay, not a problem at all.
I agree with what you are saying, especially if they are inaccesible. That always
makes me think they have something to hide.

4. Judicial Watch is a far right Scaife operation
Problem is they are absolutely worthless, go about things haphazardly, never get anything done.

Well, at least it is a problem for the rabid right.

Yeah, they're so on top of keeping government corruption in check. :sarcasm:
