In her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination Hillary Clinton has touted her experience in the White House as preparation to lead in a time of crisis. “Ready on Day One,” has been her slogan.
But an initial reading of some of the more than 11,000 pages of Clinton’s schedules from her days as first lady, released on Wednesday by the National Archives and the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library, shows that often she was far from the site of decision making during some of the most pivotal events of Bill Clinton’s presidency.
Lewinsky comes in Hillary was at her home in White House on most occasions while hubby President Bill Clinton carried on with Monica Lewinsky.
The schedule of Hillary on the days, when his husband had encounters with the White House Intern, has been picked up from information contained in about 11,000 pages of her years at the White House.
What is of added attention and curiosity is where Hillary Clinton was when her husband was having sex with Lewinsky.
On November 15, 1995, when Lewinsky told prosecutor Kenneth Starr of her first sexual encounter with the President in the private study in the Oval Office, Hillary was in a mid-afternoon “meet and greet” photo session with various Nobel laureates and their families.
Two days later, Hillary was at home in the White House when Lewinsky said there was another sexual encounter with the President while he was talking on the phone to a member of Congress.
In the documents, 5000 pages have parts blacked out to protect the privacy of third parties.
