Or, Sammy "the sock burglar" Berger

For several months during Bill Clinton's administration, a former top military officer says the White House lost the card with a set of numbers for opening the briefcase containing the codes for a nuclear attack.
Gen Hugh Shelton, who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, said in his new memoir, "Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior" that "the codes were actually missing for months. That's a big deal -- a gargantuan deal."
A similar claim was made by Lt Col Robert Patterson, a former aide, in a book published seven years ago. He was one of the men who carried the briefcase, known as the "football", and he said that the morning after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke that he made a routine request of the president to present the card so that he could provide an updated version.

I just wish more people would take being an American more seriously. Then they wouldn’t let Communist trash run the country.

At least half the country has dog poop for brains.
This sounds familiar. Didn’t we know this ?

Yes, I remember hearing this when GW was in office.
I knew about the lost code card at the time. It was out there in the news.

And the best unit Commander I’ve had the pleasure to follow was required to retire after something much less serious.
Short rope long drop time for the bent one.
Historical bttt!
The Clintons don’t often just lose things, though I suppose in this case they may have, but they often hide them for later. That’s how Vince Foster’s own annoted copy of Rose Law billing records ended up with Hillary and presumably where those hundreds of FBI files are still held and being used to bad ends.
The resurfacing of Norman Hsu [pronounced "shoe"] reminds us that he was a well-known bundler for Hillary Clinton just two election cycles ago. Today he is ensconced in prison making $40 per month as a high school tutor for his fellow prisoners.
By giving his first interview since he was convicted and sent to prison (WSJ, 8/12/15), we are reminded that he once lived the American dream. He took money for the gullible promising handsome returns. He then gave some to the politicians. The photo-ops with politicians gave him credibility, which enabled him to take more money from more gullible people.
Instead of merely taking money from the later investors to pay off the early ones, his cutting politicians in on the take gave his Ponzi scheme an extra twist. OK, according to the Journal article, he didn’t siphon from funds he raised so much as he badgered his investors into making political contributions directly to the candidate. After all, he was making so much money for the suckers that they should be happy to donate just to stay on the good side of Hsu. ...”

Probably made copies.
Wow!
I have read of this before via Col. Buzz Patterson, and I still fail to understand how this was not an immediate highest level national emergency for all who knew of it, the moment they learned of it. Bill Clinton and everyone who covered for him should have been treated as the reckless un-American beasts they are. How can this sort of thing ever be tolerated?
?? You knew of this back in 1998 or 2000??? It was in the news then? I never heard of it until the Buzz Patterson book..... how was this not a massive national scandal?
He sold them to the Chinese.
Has anyone checked if they’re in Anthony Wiener’s laptop? The Clintons were far more dangerous to national security than the Russians.
