I think the stated reason that Bill Clinton's schedule is redacted is to protect a "private citizen's" privacy. I think the real reason is because he was colluding with the State Department to fundraise for the Clinton Foundation (on the taxpayers dime)...and perhaps for some of the reason's you posted, though I doubt sexual trysts would have been on his official schedule which was passed around dozens of members of DoS.

A bit off-topic, but Victoria Nuland being involved in anything is suspect. She was clearly a major player in the Ukrainian Coup (remember she was caught on an unsecured line saying "Yats" is our guy...referring to our preferred installed puppet...and "fuck the EU") She's also married to arch-Neo-Con Robert Kagan (of Project For A New American Century infamy)

Just as a note, cushy ambassadorships in nice countries are routinely awarded to big donors/bundlers, as opposed to more important posts that require real diplomats/CIA folk. Yes, it's pay-to-play, but it's nothing new.

Commenting here mainly so I can find this post later...

I have always wondered why Hillary quit her position as Secretary of State, I have held a suspicion it was to keep her at arms-length from plans in Ukraine (search on youtube a Charlie-Rose segment she did the day MH17 went down, given her close ties to Nuland she could act as a convenient, non-official proxy spokesperson), and to give her a few years window not being a public servant to conduct any other business with less scrutiny (time to collect funds and make promises while she is technically allowed).

The NATO talks in the original post (late 2012) also time well with the planning of the Ukrainian coup (end of 2013). It takes a year or two to infiltrate political groups and send in 'NGO's' on the ground, so they can have a 'peaceful' revolution while Nuland hands them cookies and treats. Perhaps it was also a quasi handover of the Ukraine project from Hillary.

Also remember, creepy Joe Biden has a son (Hunter?) who got a cushy job on a Ukrainian energy board after the coup.

i thought Bill's was redacted because the FOIA was for Hill, not him. perhaps a more specific FOIA for Bill's itinerary would get some good results?

That's possible....I'm no a FOIA expert. But you'll notice other people's messages/info aren't redacted in the latest dump. His personal communications couldn't be subject to a FOIA request because he doesn't work for the USG during this time period (which is why it's strange his travels seem to be coordinated with State department officials).

once a president, always a president, though, right? still draws a federal salary, still has a security detail. i think he's our employee for life, but i'm no expert.
