Sandy Berger: Far Worse Than We had Been Led to Believe
Townhall ^ | January 9, 2007 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 01/11/2007 5:28:49 AM PST by fleagle

Throughout the Berger affair, we were repeatedly assured that former National Security Advisor Sanyd Berger could not have destroyed any documents that the government did not have copies of. He could not, as a result, have been part of a cover-up of Clinton's disastrous fecklessness towards al Qaeda. It was this assurance that led many to view the episode as criminal buffoonery, rather than serious felonious conduct.

The release of the Berger Report by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform changes that understanding, and makes the decision by the Department of Justice to give Berger the slightest of wrist taps inexplicable.

Why again isn't this story being covered by the MSM?

My local craptastic "news" paper recently had a lengthy editorial taking Laura Bush to task for not "speaking out" about her mole removal, strongly implying she purposely hid her mole from the public in what could only be a Rove/Cheney plot to inflict small, cancerous moles on unsuspecting Americans. But not a word from their esteemed editorial department about this criminal Berger affair.

Am I the crazy one here?

Not 'inexplicable' at all. It's simply that the ruling class WILL have its way.

Let's see. If I hold-up a Walmart and just steal a couple thousand dollars, that is not serious because Walmart has plenty of copies of those dollar bills. If I kill a few babies, not serious because there are plenty more.

If, due to my prior employment, I am granted the professional courtesy to have access to sensitive information of my previous employment, abusing that professional courtesy is not serious because.....?

Another sterling example of complete and total dereliction of duty by Attorney General Gonzales.

People can blame this kind of thing on the media or the Dummies, but the President is a Republican and his administration has given left-wing traitors full rein for six years now. What does that reality say about the Administration?

Because he has a '(D)' behind his name. The unbias media in the name of being fair and balance can only report about scandals if there is an '(R)' behind the name. Probably the only network that would bother mentioning this story is that evil Fox News who has the nerve to tarnish the name of good and honest democrats working to save the earth from republican slime.

That is great, I increased mine too because your post indicated that to me also.

As a matter of fact everyone should do the same today!

If Hugh had followed the story when it started he'd know that it was reported then that a number of the documents present were originals with no copies. That there was no way to know exactly what he took and that in all likelihood they were the only copy - and the Berger knew that.

Nope. Not crazy. It's you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours time in DC. If you or I had done what the "Burglar" had done we'd be in the Federal pen right now.

If Berger was innocent, he would agree to a lie detector test and also a truth serum, to prove it. If I had nothing to hide, I would demand it to prove my good character. But, we all know that people with good character associated with the Clinton's are 6 feet under. I guess Berger made the decision to live, than be patriotic and have good character.

Write them...every Freeper should lambaste their local news media....over and over again. It may take more than one time but they are consistent with their lurid insane questionable stories.

Be relentless.

Never. You are witnessing the power of propaganda, and the selective prosecution (minimal punishment) for an anti-truth, anti-freedom internal enemy.

Not inexplicable at all.

Sandy Berger is a Person Who Matters (PWM). PWMs are not bound by the same rules as you and me. PWMs can only be taken to task by other PWMs, and PWMs never turn on their own, unless they have no choice at all.

The status of PWM is more important than ideology or party. Sandy Berger goes to the right Washington parties, lives in the right Washington neighborhood and sends his kids to the right Washington schools. The other PWMs aren't going to let him get into any serious trouble.
