An extensive collection of papers related to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s years in the Arkansas governor’s mansion remains under tight control at a public library in Little Rock, with access restricted by the Clinton Foundation.
President Bill Clinton donated his papers from his tenure as Arkansas governor to the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) in 2003, and they are housed at the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies in Little Rock.
The documents could provide new insight into the early chapter of the Clintons’ political careers, as reporters take a second look at Hillary Clinton’s past in light of the information contained in the public materials of the Diane Blair collection.
Hillary Clinton played a key role in her husband’s health care and education initiatives during his time as governor, from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992.
The collection, dubbed the “Clinton Project” by library officials, is still being processed by archivists, but is technically available to public viewing requests.
However, access to the documents is tightly controlled by the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit charitable group founded by President Clinton in 2001, which retains legal ownership of the papers.
A CALS official told the Washington Free Beacon last month that any request to view the documents would have to be approved by Clinton Foundation board chairman Bruce Lindsey, a long-time adviser to Bill Clinton.
“Bruce [Lindsey] is going to want to know specifically what you want access to and why,” said CALS director Bobby Roberts. “Then he is going to contact us to see if we have anything. Only then will he consider giving you access.”
Roberts added, “The material is housed in hundreds of archival boxes which are closed to the public without the permission of the [Clinton] foundation.”Read the rest of the story HERE.

hahahaha...now what would the Clintons have to hide?....
We need to get back some of the documents Berger stole. I bet that building has all kinds of hidden rooms.
