Clinton Aides Comfortable With Bill's Vetting, Worried About Press
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
... In conversations on Monday, officials noted that Bill Clinton has long expected that much of his work during the past eight years would be opened to public scrutiny if his wife were to win the presidential election. Moreover, they added, the former president already had made the lion's share of his financial record public -- including every paid speech he has delivered since leaving the White House -- in accordance with congressional disclosure laws that impact his wife.
