Serious: Theft of Papers Showing Al-Qaeda in US Under Clinton is HUGE(TrouserGate)

Listen to Rush…
(...explain just how serious the Sandy Berger document theft is)

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: President Clinton's national security advisor Sandy Burglar is the focus of a justice department investigation. Do you know this has been going on? This was first discovered last October, and the investigation has been going on. I mean, this thing, the pilferage (story) of these classified docs, happened last October and the investigation has been going on since the end of January. The 9/11 commission leaked this. This is a 9/11 commission leak, I think, and I'm wondering. The White House claims they didn't know about this investigation, even though the justice department was doing it. I'll tell you what this does. This puts this into even greater context. You remember when Ashcroft showed up and testified on television even before the commission and outed Jamie Gorelick with her memo that built the wall? I think this places a lot of that in greater context now, why he did that. I think he might have been -- he couldn't discuss the investigation, but he was letting everybody know what he did know.

Look it, listen to this line in the story. This is part of Sandy Berger's statement: "In the course of reviewing over several days thousands of pages of documents on behalf of the Clinton administration, in connection with requests by the September 11th Commission, I inadvertently took a few documents." (Laughing.) Can you imagine? Don't you just hate it when that happens? He "inadvertently took" stuff. He inadvertently took stuff that you're not... You know, John Deutsch, Clinton's CIA director was pardoned for taking things home. (EIB Excerpt of Story) Remember? This guy had it all on a laptop that he was taking home and he got pardoned for by Clinton for this, a little inadvertent thing. But, folks, the nut line in this sentence, in this statement: "In the course of reviewing over several days thousands of pages of documents on behalf of the Clinton administration..." There's no Clinton administration now! When he went in there to "inadvertently" purloin these documents and stuff 'em down his pants, there was no Clinton administration. He was sent in there by Bill Clinton, not the Clinton "administration."

Who the hell is the Clinton administration? Of course, Clinton will have no knowledge of this. Clinton won't recall this. Berger will not recall being sent in there by Clinton. Clinton won't know why Berger did this. He'll be saddened by it. But the Dem response is going to be, "Look, everybody makes mistakes. It's just an inadvertent little mistake. Can't we just get the documents back and move on? Don't we allow people to make mistakes in this country?" That's what the Dems are going to say, or they're going to say that Bush, somebody in the Bush administration, planted the documents down Berger's pants and they knew about this all along and waited to release this two days before the 9/11 commission report comes out. You just know what the left is going to say about this. Call it a bureaucratic snafu, whatever. Folks, I have so many lines with this that I apologize because I've gotten off the path where we need to take this, because this is huge. (Laughing.) Here I am laughing about it, but it's big. This is big, and I'll tell you why. It's the stuff that was stolen, the stuff that's probably now been shredded, the stuff that he just inadvertently sloppily can't find.
