How the hell do they get a look into their BLIND trust? The purpose of a blind trust is that the beneficiaries DON'T KNOW the contents

It's explained in the second paragraph of your link:


"The Clintons opened the blind trust in April under instructions from the Office of Government Ethics and sold the assets in May, according to a disclosure form filed Friday. The Clintons have had a blind trust since Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas in 1983 and had no control over its transactions.

Once they peered inside it, they discovered it included investments in oil and drug companies, military contractors and Wal-Mart Stores (WMT, news, msgs), campaign spokesman Phil Singer said.

WTF - According to the article below, Hillary and Bill sell the contents of their blind trust to avoid conflicts.

Umm, Helloooo? How the hell do they get a look into their BLIND trust? The purpose of a blind trust is that the beneficiaries DON'T KNOW the contents and aren't allowed to know what's in there...

they were required to have the blind trust opened and disclosed, due to hillary running for president. They did this per Law. It was just what it is called, BLIND, before the disclosure
 
Yeah, I know. I got so pissed at the typical Clinton antics, that I went off too soon.

It also means that the reporter got the first line of the article wrong.
