Many Republicans rubbed their hands with glee in anticipation of the so-called "secret Clinton files" in the hopes that the documents would reveal some nasty information about the Democratic Party's current front-runner, Hillary Clinton. But while some conservative outlets like Fox News went out of their way to spin an unflattering narrative, a closer look at the trove of mid-'90s documents shows that the first lady's staffers had an inkling that their boss had bigger and brighter things ahead of her.

The old-school correspondences offer some delightful gems, such as the the "wild idea" of having the then-first lady appear on a popular sitcom like Home Improvement (I'm sorry, why didn't this happen!?). But they also include much more prescient nuggets, including the suggestion Clinton should recognize and embrace new digital technologies.
