WASHINGTON - Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Berger, who was fired from John Kerry’s presidential campaign when the scandal broke in 2004, has assumed a similar role in Clinton’s campaign, even though his security clearance has been suspended until September 2008. This is raising eyebrows even among Clinton’s admirers. “It shows poor judgment and a lack of regard for Berger’s serious misdeeds,” said law professor Jonathan Adler of Case Western Reserve University, who nonetheless called Clinton “by far the most impressive candidate in the Democratic field.” Adler told The Examiner that it is “simply incomprehensible to me that a serious contender for the presidency would rely upon him as a key foreign policy advisor.”
He added: “If Senator Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee, at some point she will begin to receive national security briefings that will include sensitive information. At such a point, continuing to keep Berger on board as a key advisor, where he might have access to sensitive material, would be beyond incomprehensible.”
The Clinton campaign declined to comment.
Berger has admitted stealing documents from the National Archives in advance of the 9/11 Commission hearings in 2003. The documents, written by White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, were a “tough review” of the Clinton administration’s shortcomings in dealing with terrorism, Clarke’s lawyer told the Washington Post.

No surprise. Birds of a feather ... and all that sort of thing.
Treason and theft is a virtue to democRATs.

Now I feel even less secure about Hillary’s ability to defend us from our enemies.
The server has been acting up today. I kept getting a “temporarily unavailable” error message when posting today and just now. Just now, I got a double post when hitting back/post.
If I were Berger, I’d definately sleep with one eye open. We all know how being very close to Hillary can become terminal. This move just makes it a little easier to Foster Berger.
Wow I’m ....not surprised at all...

How much leverage must Sandy Burglar have over the Clintons if — given his shady past — he was able to wangle a high-level job in Hillary’s presidential campaign?
