Archives Employees Suspicious of Berger... devised a coding system and marked the documents they knew Berger was interested in canvassing, and watched him carefully... employees determined that that draft and all four or five other versions of the millennium memo had disappeared from the files after Berger viewed them, WASH POST set to report, say sources... Developing...
Frankly, I want Berger's boss, whomever it was that ordered him to do what he did, in prison.
Berger can be free to run around implicating his boss for all that I care about, and in fact, that's not an unreasonable assumption of why he's been investigated for so long already...

Lawrence O'Donnell on Scarborough Country tonight said that Sandy Berger is the person who leaked the information about the investigation.
Agree, but how? - Letters to the editor are one way - but the only way to get more and more facts out is from the "heat" of the media covering it -
Yet, I am almost certain this won't be allowed - Just look how mind boggling oddly the national media have covered it now - I mean they seriously act as if a man putting papers down his pants is "normal" and "innocent mistake" - Each network has aired segments just completely falling over themselves by saying what an "amazing, honest man Berger is" -
It is mind boggling to watch - and I as much as anyone knows how biased the media is to begin with - and still I'm shocked.
WaPo is on the case. They're slightly to the right of the NY Times.
For 35 years I worked in the realm of classified documents. I have also been in conversation with the National Archives, as to what you can take in, etc..
If Berger signed out documents at the Archives, how in the hell did they let him leave withoug signing them back in?
Just more government workers? Do they take this stuff seriously? I saw engineers lose their careers for being a lot less cavalier about security.
One is that kerry knew about this matter for months but still keep Berger around and only spoke out when he had too - and then just to cry about the timing.
Or two kerry was totally in the dark - which means Berger, Klintoon and others all knew for months but refused to tip kerry off....
Either way kerry looks like a total fool!!
As someone else posted, if there were nothing to this, the investigation would not be ongoing. My guess is that there are others involved with the documents and the investigators are giving them some rope. I hope.
No, Drudge is ahead this time. What is important here is that the Washington Post is going with another Page 1 scandal column against Berger/Kerry/Clinton...which means that they didn't fall for the Democratic Party line spin that this was no big deal.
Soxgate is now entering Watergate territory. The SS Democrat is now taking fire from the WaPost itself, and no doubt will show some damage when this baby runs tomorrow.

I don't think Drudge is behind; Matt's scoop is that the WASHINGTON POST is set to report it.
He's reporting what the Washington Post is about to report.
Remember, it isn't news until the MSM says it is news.
My take is Berger leaked the information for his own protection....Didn't Linda Tripp do the same thing....Making it public is the best insurance he can buy....and he IS willing to make a deal with the FBI now...also made public by his lawyer.....Some people are getting very anxious......
I'm willing to bet you don't hear hardly a peep again about this Berger Scandal after this Sunday from the national media - It will be deep-sixed -
This is a potentially explosive story. You'd think one of the lamestream media would break down and expose it. That's what real journalists used to do anyway.
Mrs. Clinton looses her precious Rose Firm Billing Records for 2 years.
Gets off free.
Bill Clinton commits perjury.
Gets off free.
Bill Clinton in Oval Office stuffs his cigar in thonged intern.
Gets off free.
Samuel Berger stuffs his underpants in what he calls "an apparent honest mistake" with highly classified top really super secret documents.
Odds are he will go free.
Odds are "we the people" get a ticket for an honest mistake like a "Hollywood stop" getting off free?
None.
It's all 100 % obscene bs...these government bureaucratics only know one thing and that is do whatever it takes to deceive and abuse "we the people" for their own political, financial and personal gain.
What a bunch of f'ing kerry me to hell slimebags.
"employees determined that that draft and all four or five other versions of the millennium memo had disappeared from the files after Berger viewed them"
A deliberate attempt to obtain and destroy every copy of that memo. It must be released as the PDB was.
Just like Watergate ...

At least when Ollie North's secretary took documents they were secreted in a more interesting garment.
Why does the 'timing' of the 'leak' of a 'meaningless' act matter? That's something the socialists can't tell us.
Patience
They were slow to get on board with Watergate too.
If this story goes to Kerry it will be huge.
