REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — Former President Clinton said Friday that a letter he wrote to the National Archives was to expedite release of his papers, not slow the process or hide anything as rivals are suggesting in criticism of his wife. Hillary Rodham Clinton was quizzed during this week's Democratic presidential debate as to why correspondence between her and her husband from their White House years remained bottled up at the National Archives. Barack Obama said that was a problem for her as a candidate after "we have just gone through one of the most secretive administrations in our history."

I want them to release the stuff that Berger took, assuming it still exists.
What a nightmare these two liars will be... second time around.
such BS.............just like Chris Matthews’ show today.........it’s BS
The archives made up the 2012 date. Do we really need more of this crap to remind us how bad it was? The only difference is the Ms can’t lie with impunity because she has neither the brains or the talent.
REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — Former President Clinton said Friday that a letter he wrote to the National Archives was to expedite release of his papers, not slow the process or hide anything as rivals are suggesting in criticism of his wife.
Hillary Rodham Clinton was quizzed during this week’s Democratic presidential debate as to why correspondence between her and her husband from their White House years remained bottled up at the National Archives. Barack Obama said that was a problem for her as a candidate after “we have just gone through one of the most secretive administrations in our history.”
One issue is whether Bill Clinton had sent a letter to the Archives asking that the communications not be released until 2012, and whether Hillary Clinton would lift any ban, a question raised by debate moderator Tim Russert.
“She was incidental to the letter, it was done five years ago, it was a letter to speed up presidential releases, not to slow them down,” the former president told reporters Friday. “And she didn’t even, didn’t know what he was talking about. And now that I’ve described to you what the letter said, you can readily understand why she didn’t know what he was talking about.”
Russert’s question “was breathtakingly misleading,” Bill Clinton said.
In response, Barbara L. Levin, spokeswoman for NBC, said: “Tim’s question was entirely on the mark.”
Clinton said that under the presidential documents law, he is not required to release any material until 2012.
“Unlike previous presidents, I have already released one million pages of documents, about half of which affect Hillary — the records of the health care task force,” Clinton said.
He spoke to reporters after delivering remarks to Microsoft Corp. employees about corporate giving in connection with his book, “Giving.”
Dear National Archives,
Release Hill's letters . . . and you'll find yourselves lying on the ground in Ft Marcy Park.
I’m sure they will be thoroughly sanitized and/or many documents will be missing...
Unfortunately, Burglar destroyed some of the info, to my understanding.
All those classified documents about how Clinton enabled the 9/11 attacks are long gone. I'm pretty sure Berger burned them in his toilet along with the docs about the missle downing of TWA Flight800. That stuff is gone forever.
But on the bright side, Berger paid a heavy price for his crimes. As recommended by the Bush Justice Department, Berger got probation, a brief loss of security clearance and a fine, the same punishment you or I would have received if it was one of us who purloined classified materials out of the National Archives in our socks and underwear and then destroyed them.
Sandy Burglar already got them.
>Sandy Burglar already got them.<
LOL! I was wondering if that was what the big slowdown was all about. He steals them, sanitizes them and puts them back.
That could take a while...

Bill Clinton’s letter to archives here: http://www.newsweek.com/id/62133
Clinton is in this area TODAY?????? How come no one told us?????
For eight years their strategy was deny, delay, denigrate then destroy. They sent over thousands of documents, just not the ones that the investigators wanted. The MSM focused on the thousands sent and will again. Never believe a liar.
Speed what? They are in his trailer in Little Rock!
