Clinton schedules as first lady to come out

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor March 18, 2008 04:03 PM

Hillary Clinton's schedules as first lady -- more than 11,000 pages of them -- will be released Wednesday, the National Archives announced today.

The papers include schedules for 2,888 days, but not the 19 in January 2003 before Bill Clinton's inauguration. Of the 11,046 pages being released, more than 4,700 have parts blacked out for privacy reasons, the archives said.

A conservative watchdog group has sued over the documents. Democratic rival Barack Obama's campaign has also pressed for the release, arguing that if Clinton wants to cite her White House experience, voters deserve to know what exactly she did and whom she met.

UPDATE: "It is about time. We're pleased, thanks to Judicial Watch's lawsuit, that the American people will be able to review Hillary’s daily schedule records. The Clintons slow-pedaled this process but were unsuccessful in delaying the document release any further," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

"However, this does not put an end to Judicial Watch’s pursuit of Hillary’s White House records, including her telephone logs. It would be an injustice to force the American people to wait ‘one to two years’ for the telephone logs of a candidate for the presidency. We are asking the court to force the National Archives to comply with the law and release these records as soon as possible."

  1. Hillary can never come clean and expect to stay in public office. The Clinton's have always been devious self-serving liars and nothing has changed. I am consistently amazed that any American can feel anything except disgust at the mention of her name.

  1. Good point - just another clinton triangulation! Don't believe a word out of these people, it's been so long since they've told the truth they can't remember what exactly it sounds like...
