| The Clinton library's secret files may yet emerge. |
| 2014-02-26 |
| [Politico] Under the Presidential Records Act, such records can be withheld for up to 12 years after a president leaves office. However, at the 12-year mark, those broad restrictions fall away and the once-secret presidential papers are generally subject to disclosure. For the Clinton files, that milestone came and went in January 2013. The long-sealed records pose a delicate series of choices for the Clintons, and even President Champ. They could allow disclosure of the papers, fueling new stories about old controversies like Whitewater and pardons granted as the 42nd president left office in 2001. Or they could fight to keep some or all of the files secret, likely triggering a court battle and stoking concerns that the former president and his wife are unduly secretive. Either way, it’s a potentially messy situation unfolding just as the Hildebeast — widely considered a clear front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination — mulls over whether to make a second bid to return to the White House. |

| #2 There won't be any disclosure, Hillary seeks office, remember. Seal'em and keep em sealed for another 12 years, at least. (What Hilary wants, hide and divert.) Another reason to not vote for Hillary, she's another Obama in (All) whiteface. |

| #1 I don't think we will ever know about all of Slick Willy's dalliances, Vince Foster, how Hillary turned $1000 into $100,000 in land and pork belly deals or where the bodies are buried in Arkansas. |
