Archives Employees Suspicious of Berger... devised a coding system and marked the documents they knew Berger was interested in canvassing, and watched him carefully... employees determined that that draft and all four or five other versions of the millennium memo had disappeared from the files after Berger viewed them, WASH POST set to report, say sources... Developing...
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Solomon, at the crux of Both issues......
HE needs to be fired, or start doing some real reporting, instead fo acting like Lanny Davis' f*ng press agent.
(Wouldn't it be nice, if Comey wound up naming him in both cases.....)
Since Bergers mouth piece made the statement that he went to the Archives on behalf of the Clinton Administration, it leaves no doubt in my mind that he was throwing up a smoke screen to divert attention. There is no Clinton Administration. He was working for Kerry.
This looks like a Hillary!ous Torpedo into the side of the Kerry camp.
See the Washington Times about all the Clintonoids inside the campagin, and you have to know that they know exactly how this was leaked, now the campaign will be in disarray, behind the scenes, not knowing who to trust.....
No. He was working for Clinton. Screwing Kerry.
That is a typical Clintonspeak. No he didn't have "clues", he had all the facts and the documents, didn't need "clues".
There were several versions of the same memo--how were they different? Why would Berger want duplicate copies?
It's ALWAYS in the 'footnotes'....!!!
IMO
bttt
In other words, they called him to see who he would talk to and what he would say. That's got to worry the traitors on the Left.
Excellent points, and according to an article posted on this thread,Berger's mistake a kick in the pants
there was indeed a sting set up at the request of archive staff, once they realized what Bergler was up to.
>>time to discuss the "millenium memo".
I'll bet you the juiciest documents stolen were about
something else completely, like letting Bin Laden get away.
(smokescreen alert)
Agreed. My biggest fear is that Rove decides holding Berger to the rule of law is coming over to the Soccer Moms as too harsh.
Hopefully followed with the CLANG sound of a prison cell door shutting behind them!
Could you supply me with Aaron Brown's email?
I wrote him an email of complait once on his coverage of corporate scandals. He had interviewed Terry McAuliffe and never brought up Global Crossing.
Aaron Brown called him "that rascal" McAuliffe but said that his actions were not newsworthy.
I notice that this story isn't even on the CNN website.
Anybody who has not worked with TOP SECRET and above documents needs to be made aware how there is NO WAY that Berger could "inadvertently" walk out with several copies of a 15-30 page document at least twice, and how there is NO WAY that he could "apparently" destroy some of those copies.
The best description I've seen so far is tang-soo's, and he posted it several times. If you haven't read it, please take the time to do so here:

My interpretation of the stories of the "special markings" added by the Archives custodians after they became suspicious of Berger was they thought he might be altering hand-written (or other easily changeable) entries. In other words, since all classified documents are numbered and logged anyway, the only reason to "specifically mark" a classified document beyond its original state would be if you suspected it was being changed.
Can anyone think of anther plausible explanation in light of your experience?
Meant to ping you on #356. Thoughts?
hmmmm that is an interestig take on this- Maybe Berger was trying to prevent his becoming another Arkancide
Hugh Hewitt talked about the process and it was amazing. The warnings/agreement you speak of is apparently also affixed to many of the documents. Bergler did this because (1) he was incredibly arrogant or (2) incredibly scared. Time will tell...
