Imagine if Richard Nixon's former National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger was advising Ronald Reagan, when he was running for president.
Imagine Henry Kissinger stealing and disposing of code word classified documents, possibly at the behest of Nixon.
Imagine Kissinger possibly sharing the purloined classified info with Ronald Reagan.
Imagine the media firestorm.
Imagine the investigations.
If the Justice Department can appoint US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate the Valerie Plame/ Bob Novak column kerfuffle,
they can have no other choice, but, to do the same for the Berger/Clinton/Kerry national security scandal.

As citizens, we must call our elected representatives and demand that they protect our national security by investigating this extremely serious and troubling matter.

Deputy AG Comey Hints at Big House for Berger, US Media Mum

Deputy Attorney General James Comey raised the specter of a jail sentence yesterday for Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, if he's found guilty of removing top secret documents from the National Archives that were supposed to go to the 9/11 Commission.
Though Comey's comments were widely quoted, the U.S. press edited out his reference to a possible stint in the big house for Berger. A Lexis Nexis search found that only Agence France Press quoted the Deputy AG in full, including this key observation on the Berger security breach:

"It's our lifeblood to keep secrets," Comey told reporters in Washington. "All felonies in the federal system bring with them the promise of jail time, that's all I can say about that."

Comey left little doubt that Berger's so-called "sloppiness" was more likely a serious crime.

"It is against the law for anyone to intentionally mishandle classified information, either by taking it to give to somebody else, or by mishandling in a way that is outside the regulations of government information.".

In case anybody missed the point, the U.S.'s number two lawman added: "The federal system is a very tough system. . . We take issues of classified information very, very seriously."

Now wonder venues like CBS News, which reported Tuesday night the Berger would almost certainly not be charged with criminal wrongdoing, decided not to cover Comey's full comments.
