Washington ( CNN ) -- Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan once fretted that she `` may have really f -- -ed up '' after a miscommunication with other aides about a segment on the CNN show `` Crossfire . '' Her comments were in a note to her boss , White House Counsel Jack Quinn , that was among the nearly 10,000 documents released Friday by the Clinton Presidential Library . Kagan , an associate counsel in the Clinton White House whom President Barack Obama later nominated to the Supreme Court , was explaining to Quinn a `` right-hand-left-hand '' communication problem as aides prepared for media appearances amid Paula Jones ' sexual harassment allegations . `` God , do I feel like an idiot , '' Kagan said . Clinton documents show 'West Wing ' mindset . In another document released Friday , Kagan offered an interesting recommendation for who should defend Clinton against Jones ' sexual harassment accusations at the Supreme Court : John Roberts . A handwritten note lists Roberts with the word `` Hogan '' underneath his name -- a reference to the law firm now called Hogan Lovells , where he then worked . Another page lists Roberts ' name again , this time with some biographical details . Kagan and Roberts now serve on the Supreme Court together . Roberts never worked on the Jones case . June : More Clinton documents released : Here are the highlights . The documents released Friday cover the entire Clinton presidency from 1993-2001 and are the last batch of documents released by the library under the Presidential Records Act . The act says the documents must be made available to the public 12 years after the end of a president 's administration . The Clinton Library began releasing the documents in batches starting in February . Here are four other interesting tidbits disclosed in Friday 's release : . - In a January 1993 meeting with Clinton six days after his inauguration , members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff voiced opposition to gays serving openly in the military . Marine Corps Gen. Carl Mundy says those who admit to being gay or who associate with Gay Pride `` will have a negative effect '' and that it `` fractures teamwork . '' For a person to `` proclaim : I 'm gay '' is the `` same as I 'm KKK , Nazi , rapist , '' Mundy says . Apparently Vice President Al Gore did n't like Mundy 's comments ; the notes indicate he called them `` borderline . '' Clinton tells the military chiefs that the whole issue causes him `` great discom ( fort ) '' as he wrestles with the idea of gay men and women who are patriotic and devoted to the armed forces but unable to serve because they declare they are gay . Later in the meeting , he says the `` people I would like to keep ( in the military ) would n't show up at ( a ) Queer Nation parade . '' - Keith Olbermann , then in his first run as an MSNBC host , sent Clinton a letter apologizing for the network 's coverage of the Monica Lewinsky scandal and for `` whatever part I may have played in perpetuating this ceaseless coverage . '' Olbermann added that he had a career change in the works , writing , `` I 'll be headed back to my previous career in sports as quickly as possible . '' Clinton aide R. Scott Michaud said he planned to flag the letter for the president to see , and also asked if it 'd be OK to send Olbermann a generic response . - Jennifer Palmieri , who is now President Barack Obama 's communications director , makes an appearance when she receives an explanation for how to open an email attachment . `` It can be accessed by hitting 'launch , ' '' she is advised . - Mike Huckabee , who was then the governor of Arkansas , needed a `` warm response '' to his letter to Clinton declaring May 8 , 1999 , as `` Safe Television for All Ages Day '' in his state and asking the president to make it a national proclamation . A White House aide noted atop the letter that Huckabee `` hates '' Clinton and was planning to run against Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln . `` He needs a quick/warm response , '' the note says . Clinton documents : Much has changed , but much still the same .
