anuary 11, 2005 -- EXCLUSIVEWASHINGTON The criminal probe into why former Bill Clinton aide Sandy Berger illegally sneaked top-secret documents out of the National Archives possibly in his socks has heated up and is now before a federal grand jury, The Post has learned.
The "Socks Docs" probe forced Berger, who was President Clinton's national security adviser, to step down as Democrat John Kerry's top foreign-policy adviser last summer.
"It may have been off the front pages, but the investigation has been active," said a source with knowledge of the probe.
"[Berger] has been interviewed several times by federal agents FBI and prosecutors."
Berger admits removing 40 to 50 top-secret documents from the archives, but claims it was an "honest mistake" made while he vetted documents for the 9/11 commission's probe into the Twin Towers attacks.
Berger has also acknowledged that he destroyed some documents he says by accident.

The probe was touched off last spring when stunned archives staffers reported seeing Berger sneak classified documents out of a top-secret reading room in his pants and socks while vetting Clinton-era items for the commission.
They then ran a sting operation in which they coded some documents and confirmed they were missing when Berger left.
The documents were classified Code Word, the highest security classification, above Top Secret.
The commission report makes clear that Berger had a habit of writing candid notes in the margin of memos, sometimes flatly rejecting plans for action.
He nixed a plan to capture Osama bin Laden with one word: "No."

You are too harsh! An "honest mistake" occures when a Democrat commits a crime. I thought everone knew that.
:^D
Better not to have this distraction during the campaign.
(How can this worm get away with this? This precedent breaks every rule in the book - EVERY RULE IN THE BOOK!)
Had this breech of security been done by a member of our Armed Forces, they would go to jail for at least 20 years.

Could sandy burlar be the crack in the cli'ton crime-family oyster?
For, surely, if even the pretense is to be maintained that ours is a nation of Laws, sooner or later one or another of the kling tong gang's made men must be brought to the bar of justice and/or justice be brought to him.
Notwithstanding that we may never be able to assemble a jury that would convict the recidivist, treasonous, lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering, co-serial-raping gangster bastards at whose pleasure they servile.

Dan Rather on Bill Clinton:
"I think hes an honest man."OReilly: "I want to ask you flat out, do you think President Clintons an honest man?"
Rather: "Yes, I think hes an honest man."
OReilly: "Do you, really?"
Rather: "I do."
OReilly: "Even though he lied to Jim Lehrers face about the Lewinsky case?"
Rather: "Who among us has not lied about something?"
OReilly: "Well, I didnt lie to anybodys face on national television. I dont think you have, have you?"
Rather: "I dont think I ever have. I hope I never have. But, look, its one thing-"
OReilly, jumping in: "How can you say hes an honest guy then?"
Rather: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core hes an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
OReilly: "Really?!?"
Rather: "Yeah, I do."
OReilly: "See, I cant. I want my government to be honest across-the-board. I dont want people lying."
I know...
BTTT
Note well that the "Democtat" activist employees at the Archives on numerous occasions let burglar walk with the "Code Word" docs.
Neither of the Kling Tongs let alone any of their lackies should have had a key to a feral gummint toilet after January 20 2001 -- let alone been allowed access to the stationary cupboard and never mind confidential material.
And now the ex-presidente is in symbolic charge of Tsunami relief funds.
Are we being shown contempt by a self-annoited oligarchy -- or are we being shown contempt by a self-annointed oligarchy -- or what?

What it is aint exactly clear
(Buffalo Springfield)
Berger, the NSA, and Bill Richardson, Sec of Energy under Clinton, whistled past the theft of nuke stuff from Los Alamos and sent to China.
Did you ever think that this could have been linked to Bubba's Chinese campaign funds? Like the computer from the "crashed rocket" in China?
Smilin' Sandy, the Moral Slug!
============================================
The latter one, I think.
(What grabs me is that John Kerry was primed to appoint Bill Clinton as the U.N. Chief replacement for Kofi Anan in 2007.)
It really IS one corrupted world system, isn't it.
Cool profile page ya got there.
So glad you posted this.
You are a panic! LOL!
When I got my Top Secret Clearence I like everyone else that gets one has to sign their constitutionaly guaranteed right away in connection with them. Mishandle them or even take them out of a secure location and go to jail.
Let someone without a need to know see them and go to jail. For each document I believe there was a least a five year, $5,000 fine.
How many documents did little sandy mishandle or steatl to save his and his boss billys asses?
