But only AFTER she wins the Dem nomiation!
The Clinton library is readying a trove of detail about Hillary Rodham Clinton's eight years as first lady in the White House for release in late January, government lawyers said in a court filing.
But Bill Clinton's lawyer will have the final say on whether 10,000 pages of Hillary Clinton's private White House "daily schedules" will be immediately released to the groups who requested her calendar under the Freedom of Information Act.
Even so, the documents appear likely to become public within a month of their release by the archives, as the general election heats up in February.
The New York Democratic senator faces growing questions about her husband's resistance to releasing some documents from the Clinton administration, which ended nearly seven years ago.
Clinton rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) criticized her at the Oct. 30 debate for not releasing more White House documents.
"We have just gone through one of the most secretive administrations in our history. And not releasing, I think, these records — at the same time, Hillary, that you're making the claim that this is the basis for your experience — I think, is a problem," he said.
The Republican National Committee headlined a recent press release, "Library Lockdown Continues.”
Both Clintons and their aides say they're releasing documents as quickly as the archives make them available, and that the real hold up is the volume of paper.
Most documents became publicly available, by law, after five years, and the schedules do not appear to fall within any of several categories of papers that Clinton has reserved the right to withhold until 2012.
The Hillary Clinton papers could offer a detailed glimpse of the behind-the-scenes role played by a First Lady whose campaign has cast those years as a mixture of gravitas-inducing international diplomacy and work on legislation focused on women and children, while minimizing her place as a major player in White House debates over political strategy and policy.
They would include records of eight years of private meetings.
The details of the library's release plans are disclosed in a response by the National Archives and Records Administration to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group, which opens a window into the molasses-slow process by which documents from the Clinton presidency are making their way to light. (Filings from both sides in the case are available on Judicial Watch's website.
Lawyers for the National Archives said they could not predict exactly when the documents would be made public because both President Clinton and President Bush have the right to review them before they are released.
They laid out the position in an October 2 filing with a federal court in Washington, which is posted to Judicial Watch's website with other documents from the case.
"On average, presidential representatives have required 237 days to complete their review of Clinton presidential records," the filing said.
Bruce Lindsey, the CEO of the William J. Clinton Foundation, is personally reviewing every page the National Archives has readied for release and currently has 26,000 pages on his desk, a Clinton aide said.
The subject of those documents isn't public. Hillary Clinton's schedules will join that pile.
However, if Lindsey doesn't challenge the release of the schedules — something he hasn't done with any documents so far — he would be bound to sign off on them within 30 days of their release by the Library, a Clinton aide said.
