Don't allow the media to focus your attention on Clinton over this Sandy Berger criminal investigation. Ben Ginsberg points out the essential question --- and it has to do with the KERRY CAMPAIGN

[Corin Stormhands]

Ah...Ben Ginsberg...my heart almost stopped for a minute when I thought it was Ruth Vader...

[Badeye]

You are correct, we shouldn't be distracted from the key points of this story by more Clintonian BS.

The most important question is this: What did the missing documents say?

Everything else is designed to distract from that pertinent question.

[maica]

The docs were taken last October. How does that impact Kerry? Kerry does not seem to be able to plan ahead more than one photo-op at a time? I think this is pure CYA for Clinton. Berger would ONLY steal from a secure area under a dire threat: Exposure or Arkancide!

[Mo1]

Did they benefit from documents and information they should not have had?"

I watched this also

Carl Cameron is reporting the Kerry Camp has no comment regarding Sandy

[cripplecreek]

My short list of issues that need to be adressed John Kerry.

1. How does he explain his wish to get the UN involved in Iraq in light of massive corruption, bribery, and scandal within the UN?

2. He needs to firmly oppose or support the house democrats that have called for UN intervention in our elections.

3. he needs to give some clue as to his opinions on the revelation that sandy berger was stealing classified documents.

[Petronski]

[D]id Sandy Berger . . . get those documents . . . to the Kerry Campaign for their benefit?

[cricket]

So David Gergen thinks this is more innocent than it looks because he knows Berger? Gergen does not yet know what motivates even the 'best' Liberal by now?

Senator Lieberman offers that it probably was inadvertant?

One only has to read Berger's statement to see the lie being crafted for public consumption.

But one thing that cannot be disguised; 'he hid them in his pockets and his socks'; inadvertantly?

Threw them out accidentally?

Go after this Liberal trickster/traitor; for all it's worth.

If the Millennium plot had been successful, clintbilly would have declared martial law; and he'd have been president for life.

Sandy Berger, who is one of John Kerry's top advisors

Sandy Berger was CLINTON's national security advisor and this pops up just before the DNC convention.

Political Arkancide for Kerry aka clintoon

[NonValueAdded]

Per Rush Limbaugh ... Kerry campaign just issues a Reno-era style "no comment during an ongoing investigation."

[Christian4Bush]

BUMP for later...

Man, Rush is having a field day with this. Sandy Burglar? OMG!!!!

DimSpin: Nothing to see here...move on...Bush's fault...liar...

Let's see. Wilson? Liar. Burglar? Thief (ahem...allegedly)

If this story has legs, I want it shouted from the rooftops. Looks like the "Misunderestimated" poker player strikes again, without doing anything but telling the truth and acting with integrity. I guess that after 8 years of x42 and SWMNBN, the country never thought they could get integrity in the Oval Office again.

(SWMNBN = She Who Must Not Be Named)

[xm177e2]

I don't think Berger would have taken the documents so Kerry could read them (after all, Berger could read them in the archives, and relay the information to Kerry). If documents were taken and the "lost," it was to conceal information.

I assume that Berger stole the documents as an effort to cover up for himself and the clintons.

BUT, his corrupt character and his incompetence as a National Security Director were well known. WHY did Kerry hire him as one of his top foreign policy advisers? What does this say about Kerry's judgment?

One of the MAJOR differences between the clinton administration and the Bush administration is that Bush has placed highly competent and qualified adults in most of his cabinet posts. Clinton put people in mainly on a basis of their loyalty to him personally, and to hell with their competence. Most of them, in fact, were felons, because when you have the goods on someone you can blackmail them and they will be highly motivated to do whatever you want them to do--including treason in several cases.

Why is Kerry surrounding himself with crooks, felons, and traitors like Berger?

[Steve_Seattle]

If someone in the Bush administration had done this, it would be played up as a "threat to democracy," the "worst thing since Watergate," "a willful deception," "a felony," etc. But since Berger is a Democrat, it will quickly blow over - "nothing there, folks."

[Wolfstar]

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?"

Precisely my question when this story first broke. Initially, before knowing more facts, I thought Berger did this recently. Then, when I found out it was last October, that seemed to point away from a Kerry campaign connection. Why? Kerry's campaign was in the tank then, and the media was claiming Dean was the frontrunner. In addition, oily, smarmy David Gergen said on the Today show that Berger "reviewed" the documents for Clinton.

Nevertheless, I think Ben Ginsberg is right. A possible connection to the Kerry campaign can't be entirely ruled out. Even if Berger didn't do it at the behest of the campaign, it is entirely possible that he shared the classified info with Kerry and others in the campaign. At minimum, Berger was trying to see what damaging information was in the archives, and at minimum, he could have given the campaign a heads up to tread carefully about certain subjects.

In any case, we need to be very careful not to limit our own scrutiny to Clinton and his goons.

 


My tagline until the election:
A vote for Kerry-Edwards is a vote for Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Jacques Chirac, the UN, International Criminal Court, and Hollyweirdos.
Failure to vote, or a vote for a minority party, is a vote for Kerry-Edwards (unless you’re a liberal/Leftist who’ll vote Nader, a minority party, or stay home).

[Blood of Tyrants]

The answer is probably yes, he did give them to Kerry for use. We are only beginning to see the dpeths that the Rats will go to win this election.

[LincolnLover]

Sharp as a tack, Ben. Good job.

The fact that Berger serves as a Kerry advisor makes the question of what, if anything, Berger shared with Kerry plausible...plus, it has the benefit of both keeping the story alive and tying "Kerry" together with "Clinton" and "Berger" in the minds of the general public following the story.

This is a good spot for the RNC and the BC'04 campaign to go into overdrive. Saturate the press with talking points along these lines. Steal away any pre-convention momentum from those Rat clowns.
