AP: Clinton Adviser Probed in Terror Memos [Sandy Berger is the focus of a criminal investigation]

Yahoo ^

So all known copies of that report are gone now.....amazing.

Now what is it the Clintons always say, "There's absolutely NO proof that that occurred?"

[Soul Seeker]

Well, well.

This news came at an interesting time, didn't it? This is certainly going to impact the legitimacy the Dems hoped to give the release of the Commission's report on Thursday.

I want names.

I want the names of all that left those documents unprotected. All those that knew about what occured.

WE are supposed to entrust our national security to these people when they cannot even be trusted with these documents?

WHY do this? Gorelick and the media were there to protect the Clintons. What exactly was in those papers that they couldn't even count on those loyal corners to hide?

[Reo]

"Hoekstra is being very gracious saying we must give Berger "the benefit of the doubt." Sounds like what they say when they got'em by the short ones."

Sort of like "With all due respect....."

[LibertarianLiz]

I immediately returned everything I had except for a few document that I apparently had accidentally discarded," he said.

Church Lady voice in my head, "How con-veeeen-ient"

[OXENinFLA]

When did Berger remove these docs???


Before or after the 9-11 comm. looked at them?

[NavySEAL F-16]

Surely the report won't be released as is!

[Lancey Howard]

If Gore was President, there would be no criminal investigation of Berger or any other Democrat scumbag. I can't begin to imagine what the Clintons shredded on their way out the door. So now Berger (and who knows who else) is scurring back like a mouse to pick up the stuff they forgot. Unbelievable.

Any prayer that any of this gets mentioned on Nightline?

[Howlin]

Why would he need TWO OR THREE COPIES of the same report?

In recent weeks Kerry has been trying hard to sharpen up his act, but so far the results have not been encouraging. As America's first war-hero candidate since John F Kennedy, he ought to be leading the national discussion on what went wrong in Iraq. But for his current series of speeches on national security issues, he rounded up a series of experienced hair-splitters from the Clinton years - Richard C Holbrooke, James Rubin, Sandy Berger - and they produced a script that would have played very well before the Council on Foreign Relations.

LOL! "KETCHUP BOY'S BERGER IS COOKED". . .

[Dog]

He reviewed them before his appearance.

[Fedora]

I didn't hear about that, but it does sound like it'd make a great video :)

[chiller]

I'll bet you're right OF,..they've got him on video doing the dirty deed ! He must have been desperate to remove those documents.

[Michael Barnes]

"I deeply regret the sloppiness involved, but I had no intention of withholding documents from the commission, and to the contrary, to my knowledge, every document requested by the commission from the Clinton administration was produced," Berger said in a statement to the AP.

The above statement alone is the set up for a "I don't recall" rebuttal if fully probed for an answer.

[Diogenesis]

Priceless pic. So relevant.

Cohen: "Don't tell me about Osama. Time to party."
Clinton: "My mouth is sealed while I am in sexual Congress --- because I can.
Time to party."
Albright: "I will not watch our Commerce and Security secrets going to China, and to our other enemies."
Burglar: "I am the evil one. The one who will destroy any and all federal documents
to protect my masters --- because I can."

[Ben Hecks]

"This is a very sloppy move, and one which smacks of desperation."

Agree. Suppression of these documents must be very important to someone.
I'm amazed that Berger may have actually thought he could get away with this.

The fact of the matter is, The Clinton Administration was never going to make any controversial or committed stand against the clear and present danger we were facing from the Terrorists. Clinton handled the threat posed by Al-Qaeda the same way he handled the he did "John Doe #2" that was taken into custody shortly after the OKC Bombing....... He made the politically opportunistic choice, and to hell with the security of the United States

The Legacy Continues

[SandRat]

At the level that Sandy was looking at in the files I doubt that the documents were only CONFIDENTIAL. More likely they were TOP SECRET/Sensitive Compartmental Information with multiple caveats after the TS/SCI to restrict even more who could see or handle them.

The boy could be in some very serious trouble. Deal time?

[alnick]

Hint to Clinton Administration Officials: The suggestion "Keep it in your pants" wasn't referring to top-secret documents

ROTFL!!
