Let me educate you...
There is a law passed in 1978 making the Presidential papers the property of the US government as before this act the papers became the property of the President upon leaving the White House, or the family of the President upon his death. The Presidential Records Act was passed in the wake to the Watergate cover up and called for all Presidential papers to be locked up until 12 years after the Chief Executive leaves office.
In case you don't remember President Bush in November 2001 enacted a law which required both the sitting President and the Former President to release the Presidential Papers to the general public. Most critics stated this was an act by Bush to protect members of his own administration or his own father, as the bill was signed just before the release of the Reagan Presidential Papers.
Therefore any Presidential Papers during the Clinton Administration are required by law to be locked up for 12 years, then can only be released with the approval of both the former President and the current sittign President. I don't believe there is really anything that she is trying to hide.

All First Ladies documents and personal writings are kept hidden for a certain amount of years. It was forever before Jackie Kennedy's were released. You won't see those of Laura Bush for some years to come either.

I don't think anyone not inside the Clinton elite circle would know what all is in there. I think the truth is far darker and diabolical than we can imagine. Whatever it is they want it hidden and kept away. And even when it comes out it will be highly filtered and mostly irrelevent. I mean really, What is one more Scnadal to the Clintons. Will anybody even notice?

Hm mm Does anybody do research that is not from highly biased sources? Those secret documents could be her cookie recipes for all I know but that website will make it seem it's her confession of mass child molesting. I wish people, both Democrat and Republican, would submit something on this site that at least some semblance of intelligent research.

As far as I'm concerned anyone running for public office, and certainly as president, should have all their 'secret' documents made available to the public unless they contain items that might be prejudicial to national security. If they've nothing to hide what's the problem. If they do have something to hide they shouldn't be in public office.

Let's see all of Bushs secret documents pal. Why is his Military records altered and hiding from public view? What is Bush hiding? Did Clinton lose a war? Did Clinton, break our economy? Did Clinton cause the world to hate us? Did Clinton stretch our military thin? Did Clinton cause our young people to avoid enlisting? Have you enlisted?

But I'm guessing you have no problem at all with the unprecedented amount of secrecy surrounding our current administration... hypocrisy at its finest folks.
