Let's be clear on this. According to the news accounts there are two kinds of paper involved -- Berger's personal notes that he took whild reading the documents, and the documents themselves. The notes are what he stuffed into his clothing. The documents went out in his briefcase. It is illegal to remove either frmm the room.
Please not that his "categorical denial" applies only to stuffing "documents" into his socks. Of course he didn't stuff the "documents" into his pants and socks. They would have been too bulky. The documents went into his case.
It doesn't matter. Notes, originals or copies all were SCI. The Dems will try to confuse the country like the Medals vs ribbons flap.
The main thing here is he stole the documents. Was he trying to help the Kerry campaign or protect the Clinton legacy by hiding the information from the 911 commission?
Remember, Clinton had the military fly 300,000 flights over Iraq while Al Queda trained 18,000 recruits in nearby Afghanistan. The 911 bombers entered the country under his watch.
