The following excerpt was transcribed by me from my videotape of the 5 minute segment on Fox News Channel this morning entitled, "Bracing For Battle". The segment began at 9:44 AM and ended at 9:49 AM Eastern.
Guests: Richard Goodstein, Democrat strategist and former advisor to the 2000 Gore/Lieberman Campaign
Ben Ginsberg, Election law expert, and national counsel for the Bush/Cheney 2004 Campaign. (He was also counsel to Bush/Cheney during the 2000 election re-count)
Bottom line excerpt:
Ben Ginsberg: "The essential point is, did Sandy Berger, who is one of John Kerry's top advisors, get those documents - those classified documents that he was stuffing down his pants in the National Archives - to the Kerry Campaign for their benefit? And that's an essential question that needs to be answered by the Kerry Campaign. Did they benefit from documents and information they should not have had?"

. . .more than curious; and maddening; given the play of the entire 9/11 Investigation hype and lies contained therein.
Can only wonder the 'words flying' in the Kerry campaign; and those buzzing in the Clinton camp. . .and that would include as well, the Senator Hillary.
Can hardly wait to hear her response. Probably filed it away, months ago; under 'just in case I need it'. . .
Your theory makes sense to me, too.
But I see it as a defensive action, rather than the first stage of an attack. Berger is ashamed of whatever was in those documents. He returned most of them, but whatever was in the last two was so terrible he won't give them back.
FR attention required: Clinton's consigliere, Lindsey, was contacted after Berger doc theft
It is precisely that.
That they stand in it; up to their eyeballs; while acting like they are 'clean'; only accentates the truth about these people.
Liberals come from a place; where most would dread to tread.
Just tuned in to Rush a few minutes ago; and he pointed out the sheer brazeness of Berger; he was on 'Meet the Press'; just two weeks ago; bashing; diminishing George Bush.
LOL!
I did not stuff them in my socks
I did not stuuf them in my jocks
I did not stuff them here or there
I did not stuff them anywhere!
Samuel 'Sandy' Berger, (L) the U.S. National Security advisor to former U.S. President Bill Clinton (news - web sites), is under investigation after removing classified documents from the National Archives while preparing to appear before the September 11 commission, a U.S. official said July 19, 2004.

It's also true that thePort Angeles custom agent at first suspected drugs, not bombs.
I might give up entirely; if the Bush Administration fails to follow through with this;
. . .albeit, risking the 'wrath'; lies and spin and threatened destruction; that will be promised from the Left.
connect the spots on the blue dress.. and waa laaa. ;-)
How can it be inadvertand when he stuck them in his socks? That's theft, plain and simple (10 years retail will do that!)
The 'Monica Psychiatrist Files'.........et al.
What a forthcoming book!
/sarcasm
Documents that were "inadvertently thrown away" are probable huge embarrassments to Clinton administration inaction on credible terrorist warnings. To think that he would go to the trouble of taking them and then "mistakenly" discarding them stretches the imagination to the fullest.
Ya, just like Nicole & Ron. Paging Johnny Cockroach!
While I won't speculate as to what may have been in Berger's mind, we now have some facts to help us partially outline motive:
If Berger had deeper motives, such as to in some way damage GWB or to assist Dean and/or Kerry, we may never know. However, we should not close our minds to the possibility.
Mark Levin: This is why Berger stole the documents and 'lost' them
And this nice summary from the thread:

It's absolutely incredible. The documents Berger stole apparently were releated to the Millennium Plot review. In that review, Clinton was briefed that Al Qaeda had infilitrated the United States and was planning an attack. And Clinton did nothing!
And then? He sent his national security advisor to steal the documents? Wow!
Maybe it helps Kerry indirectly, because it is designed to damage Bush and therby it benefits whoever the Dem turned out to be.
Could it be that this is only about Clinton?
Emphasize the socks rather than the pants. One can imagine inadvertantly putting some papers in your pants pocket ----but in your socks?
"Soxgate."
