How does Ashcroft know what documents were pilfered? If he knows, the documents must be common knowledge and why would Sandy bother? Scratching head in confusion here.
But I'm with you in wondering why Berger would have pilfered them if there were copies available.
Classified documents are numbered, so we would know which ones were missing.
As to why Berger would bother? I will join you in the head scratching. It makes no sense.
Perhaps all the documents were copied or scanned to PDF? That way if the documents returned by Berger didn't match, it could only mean Berger removed or replaced documents.
