He has acknowledged through attorneys that he knowingly did not show these papers to Archives officials for review before leaving -- a violation of Archives rules, but not one that he perceived as a serious security lapse. If Condi had done this, Sandy would be screaming to the heavens about how it was a SERIOUS SECURITY LAPSE, and that she was well aware of the rules.
I hope he falls hard.
Daschle To Demand Probe of Berger Missing Documents
Soon-to-be-former Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD) today demanded a Senate investigation into the disappearance of highly classified documents from the National Archives. Daschle, speaking from his Senate office, said "I am troubled, very troubled, really really troubled by this event." He continued "the notion that Sandy Berger, an honorable former government employee, sightseeing at the Archives with his grandchildren, could have a cascade of paper files accidently fall on him and into his sock and jock shows just how much the Bush tax cuts have endangered our infrastructure." Given the number of documents reported to have penetrated Berger's clothing, Daschle expressed surprise that he did not die from a thousand paper cuts.
In a related development, New York Senator Hillary Clinton today asked for an FBI investigation after numerous marked up pages from the National Archives records mysteriously showed up in a box on a coffee table in her Chappaqua residence. "I thought we had fixed that problem when we ditched the White House maid years ago!" said Clinton.
What I find interesting is that DC bureaucrats are overwhelmingly 'Rats, so the odds are that 'Rats ratted out Bergler the 'Rat. When a top 'Rat's behavior is so bad that the little 'Rats are offended it's got to be very bad.
