Making predictions about this sort of thing is kind of futile. Let's just see what happens in the coming weeks and months.
It is not an easy thing to arraign a former National Security Advisor, particularly in an eleciton year, and particularly when he is in the opposite party.

No, exactly. But instead of whining about incompetence in the WH, look at what has happened so far:
1) Berger has tried to cut a deal with the DOJ but been rejected - so maybe he'll have to come up with something (or someone) better. 2) Berger has had to resign from the Kerry campaign. 3) The Kerry campaign is now so unsure of what the DOJ know that they've had to take down old Kerry speeches from their web-site - and this just when Kerry is preparing his big acceptance speech. 4) And of course the DNC has asked for all correspondence (between the WH and DOJ) to be released - a double edged sword, if there's ever been one. It will be very interesting to see how Ashcroft will handle this. But note that much of what Ashcroft said during his interview with the 9/11 Committee can be understood in the light of "Trousergate".
