Can someone explain the importance of Clinton's Itineraries?
I'm not seeing the big deal about her day to day schedule...I'd much rather see her tax returns, personally.

Also, what's up with the 32 redacted/missing days?

:hi:

2. She's claiming all that experience
and the itineraries show where she was, and with whom.

Hostessing foreign dignitaries is not the same as sitting in on planning sessions for policy making..

and foreign trips with Sinbad & Sheryl Crow are not on the same level as official visits to discuss ending the war:)

3. Yeah, I was thinking that it might backfire, on that front.
Hmmm.

5. It was a ham-fisted attempt at stealing Obama's speech momentum.
That is all.

6. simple. it gives her "cover" and allows her to lie that she has fully
complied with requests, without providing any meat. Not even bones. Sinew. Skin. It was the absolutely least she could do and still do something, timing it (amazingly ! ! ! !) for Obama's ground-breaking speech.

8. We can look for a check mark next to
() Broker Irish peace process

to finally tell once and for all if she is on the level.

:)

10. She's made the race about her "experience"... including her experience as first lady...
...so that makes it relevant.

11. It's data.
Data has to be brought to bear on a problem. If there's nothing for the data to illuminate, if the data can't be asked questions, it's still data, but pointless data.

I haven't seen this data. Don't know what's in it.

But how's this for a problem: HRC says she was involved in various health-care initiatives. If she were, she had meetings on the issue. If she had meetings, and this data includes her day-to-day schedule over the course of many years, we should be able to identify how often and over the course of how many months she had them, where they were. Perhaps we can find out who attended. If we know who attended, then we can ask *those* people what kinds of things were discussed.
