CLINTON SAYS BERGER-DOCUMENTS FUROR IS JUST POLITICS: 'WE WERE ALL LAUGHING ABOUT IT'
Tue Jul 20 2004 20:54:50 ET
Former president Bill Clinton defends his embattled national security advisor as a man who "always got things right," even if his desk was a mess.
"We were all laughing about it," Clinton said about the investigation into Sandy Berger for taking classified terrorism documents from the National Archives. "People who don't know him might find it hard to believe. But ... all of us who've been in his office have always found him buried beneath papers."

DRUDGE has learned: In an interview set for publication Wednesday in the DENVER POST, Clinton questions the timing of the Berger flap less than a week before the Democratic National Convention and two days before a presidential commission is slated to release its final report on the Bush administration's handling of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Clinton tells the POST he has known about the federal probe of Berger's actions for several months, calling the news a "non-story."
"I wish I knew who leaked it. It's interesting timing," he added.
"I feel terrible for Sandy. But I just believe his explanation because I know how much he cared about this ... terrorism business," Clinton said, describing his former security advisor as a "workaholic" who has "always been up to his ears in papers."
Developing...
One con supporting another con. The Prevarciating Brotherhood.
Rose Law Firm billing records? Yah, we were hootin it up about that too!!
yeah, he's up to his socks in papers.
Clinton knows this is not a "non-story" and his reaction makes me wonder if this wasn't a Clinton & Clinton leak.
What a lying, festering, hemorrhoidic, boil-covered anus.
Yes, it is hard to believe and that's why I don't believe it or Slick Willie.
Clinton says, "Impeachment was just all about politics, we were all laughing about it."
I am determined to out live that piece of crap, just so I
can at least know a little peace.
Clinton is laughing that his NSA stole and distroyed some of the highest national security documents our country possessed. Not just once but twice.
So why did Berger resign from the Kerry campaign if it is no big deal?
Clinton says he has known about this for months. Did Kerry?
"I wish I knew who leaked it. It's interesting timing," he added.
Enough said. The 'leak' was planted by some shill for the Clinton's to further discredit Kerry by stealing the limelight prior to the convention.
This confirms that there IS something to it.
hehehe... nice try, Bill.
Classified document storage rooms are uniquely unambiguous in their intent to preserve the security of the things stored there. You don't take things out of there "by mistake".
Bill Clinton, Berger, Hillery!?
A lot of democrats fit that discription!
Reckon the "Sandy defense" will work?
I do really, really care.
I'm just sloppy. Hey, check out my pants, boss.
In this case, Bubba.
