the final paragraphs after EXTENSIVE info on court cases:

In court Friday, Orfanedes suggested the documents would help the public determine whether prosecutors “pulled their punches because it was the president’s wife.”

Judge Silberman questioned whether it would be “grotesquely unfair” to Clinton to publicize allegations that were never formally made, but Orfanedes said the reports already released make clear that prosecutors believed her statements were untrue.

U.S. Attorney Nicolas Riley acknowledged circumstances might exist where the release of a draft indictment is justified, but he insisted this is not such a case.

“There is a public interest,” he said. “It is outweighed by the privacy interest.”

According to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, though, this is exactly the kind of exceptional case that necessitates releasing the documents.

“Mrs. Clinton was the spouse of a president, a top government official, a senator, a two-time presidential candidate, she’s still in politics,” he said in an interview. “What special counsels do, what independent counsels do is still of great public interest. How top government officials engage and how they are treated by prosecutors is of great public interest.”

The Judicial Watch position rests primarily on the voluminous evidence from the Whitewater investigation that has already been made public, including names of dozens of grand jury witnesses and the substance of their testimony. In Orfanedes’ view, the details of Clinton’s alleged misconduct are already widely known, so there is no privacy interest left to violate.

Dear Tom Fitton,
Please provide the robed shills with arguments they might find compelling, such as:

“Clearing Hillary Rodham’s good name is the most important public purpose conceivable by the minds of men/women/LGBTQ/Binaries,non-Binaries, and the voting dead. Only racist white supremacists and neo-nazis would question that fact (it’s not just an opinion!). Release of these draft indictments allows the public to see that they were nothing but a political attack by the Great Right Wing Conspiracy, easily refuted and put to rest. Keeping the indictments secret empowers white supremacists, neo-nazis (i.e., Republicans/Russians) to defame Hillary Rodham as a lifetime fraud and liar who skated because of political connections, partisan judges, etc.”
