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.

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.
