We Would Really Benefit From Seeing Hillary Clinton's Papers
In a discussion about NAFTA yesterday on MSNBC it was mentioned that she wanted her Medical plan passed by Congress before NAFTA. If we had her papers, we might be able to know how she felt about the trade agreement. If she was really against it or if she only wanted it to wait until Congress dealt with her medical plan.

Without her papers we just don't really know what was said or argued back then. To be fair, she might have wanted NAFTA to wait in the hopes that it would fail. I'm an Obama supporter. But I think we'd be able to draw a fair conclusion only when we have her documents, communications etc during those years.

Aside from the medical and trade agreement issues, I think her papers would give us some fascinating insight into those years. So much went on and she wasn't a Mamie Eisenhower (bless her heart) type individual.

1. I agree
I would be interested in seeing just how influential or not Hillary was in the White House.

3. I wouldn't be surprised to see that she was the real President.
I don't feel that Bill would have been elected without her. Too bad she doesn't have a penis, or she'd be a shoe in this election.

8. so you think it was Hillary who decided to deep-six BCCI's outstanding matters
along with IranContra's outstanding matters? After all, protecting Poppy Bush AND the Rose Law Firm's BIGGEST CLIENT, Jackson Stephens would be expected of her, too, along with Bill, eh?

2. Yes, but like her tax returns, she won't release them for Democrats in the primary season.
if ever

5. Uh....ye-AH!
We certainly would.

Which is why we won't see them.

Which is why she doesn't deserve to win the nomination.

That would be like if Obama would have kept his middle name a secret.

7. If she were a man
the media would have demanded her returns...and her papers, months ago.

6. I think the papers will eventually be released
It is more up to Bill than it is her decision. I would love to see her papers.

9. I think we would also benefit from seeing
Obama's papers from the Illinois State
Senate....wait, he said he didn't keep them.
Hmmm, a constitutional attorney discards records
of correspondence and notes made while serving
in an elected office. Just what was so bad in
those papers that as an attorney, he felt the need
to dispose of them. I am reminded of the 'missing
emails' when I think of this.
