title implies that the Clintons are doing this voluntarily. It was an FOIA request. Trump is a negotiator. He would not get into a race with Hillary if he didn't know he had the upper hand from the beginning. I cannot wait to hear what kind of influence he bought from the Clintons. That is if Hillary isn't indicted before the general.

This is likely to be bad for both of them

How? Trump has openly admitted he's paid for favors and bought politicians.

It'll only hurt Clinton.

Depends on what he bought.

If he greased the skids for an imminent domain judgment, for example, it could look pretty bad to some of his base.

True. But I doubt he'd run if it was anything really bad.

giving Hillary his many praises in the past does not bode well for him, regardless of whether he was just trying to shmooze her into doing his bidding. If there's more soaring praises of the former first lady/senator, he's going to look pretty untrustworthy to conservatives that have always been opposed to her. Nor will this look good for Clinton if it shows her saying nice things about Trump and his character. It just makes them both look like calculated shmucks.

Probably from a cuckservative like Cruz's campaign or Jeb!.

I've been seeing the cuckservative term floating around a lot these past few months. Does it actually mean something, or is it just a generic insult implying that the target is beta?

His comment is evidence that politics brings out the best in people.

He is referencing the term cuckold. Which means a weak person, usually a male, that allows his wife to walk all over him. Much of the time she will be getting knocked up by an Alpha male and force her pussy of a husband to raise the child. The weak willed male knows this and can't stand up for himself.

People, usually those that feel they are Alphas and say m'lady and suffer from nice guy friend zone syndrome, use the term cuck to demean those they see as weak or a pushover.

Much of the time they just call you a cuck or if it fits to use as a compound word like cuckservative to further demean ones position. It makes them feel empowered and special.

It really is cringe worthy to see it being used in a serious manner. I feel dirty using it as many times as I did in this post.

All of which could prove to be a treasure trove for Trump’s primary opponentS

Or more likely be extremely damaging to Clinton as it will show how she "did business" and how people paid money for access, which Trump, by self-funding, could make into a huuuuge deal against her

If it would do damage to Clinton why would the Clinton library release them?

Same tactic as always. Quickly delete the bad ones and release the rest

The "Clinton Library" is operated and maintained by NARA (The National Archives and Records Administration), the libraries are put together with private funds, but are then transferred to the government and are federally managed. Any release of records, especially of this nature, would have been by request, which, provided the records aren't classified, if they are in the library they are public records and any private citizen has the right to access them.

Someone probably thought it would be interesting, since Clinton and Trump used to be buddies.

Can she release "redacted" versions of all her top secret emails on her server?

So you're telling me Trump can get the Clinton's to voluntarily release emails and business dealings?

How could you not vote for the guy?!

an get the Clinton's to voluntarily release emails amd business dealings

Do you even know what the Clinton Presidential Library is? It is part of the federal government, part of the National Archives, subject to public records requests under FOIA.

Trump had jack shit to do with it, unless he actually sent in the FOIA request.

So when these papers show big bad trump donating money to the Clintons to get them to do what he wants one day, is he going to put up a 100 foot monitor and play the part during the first debate where he literally said this is how its done and that he's done this before?
