This was timed to be buried by other stories.
As such, there's nothing stopping the Sand Burglar from once again getting his fact little sticky fingers on Top Secret documents when a RAT once again sits in the WH - which is inevitable.
For all 'we the sheeple' know his SC might automatically be restored after his "suspension time" is up, or a short letter from his attorney requesting that it be reinstated might be all that's required. This sucks - BIG TIME.
"Berger AGREED to pay a $10,000 fine and give up his top-level security clearance for three years."
Agreed? Since when does a criminal have a say in his punishment?
How I laughed so heartily at Berger taking the scissors and "accidentally" cut two of the 5 documents into little pieces. Woohoo! Personally, I'd like to see Sandy Berger go the way of Buddy the dog.
bump for later
It's disgusting. Several of Nixon's top people were disgraced by the media, put in time in jail, and had their careers wrecked after committing much smaller offenses.
Nixon was villainized for thinking about misappropriating one FBI file, while hillary was excused for stealing 900 FBI files--which was only the tip of the iceberg.
So it's not just the little guys vs. the big guys. It's also the leftist factor. If you're a leftist, you can do just about anything and get away with it. If a leftist sets off a terrorist bomb or robs a bank they let her go after a few years to take on a cushy professorship, whereas if a "conservative" does it it's jail for life or a quick death sentence.
I find the timing of this suspicious.
But of course it's still Bush's fault.
It could have been hugh and series but the
timing reduced it to cheese. Chalk up another
one for those crafty democrats. Documents taken in the Watergate break-in weren't even classified. That
brought down a Presidency. Sandy Burglar
stole and destroyed classified top-secret documents
relating to the Clinton crime family and gets a fine.
Go figure.
About 10+ years ago The American Spectator ran an expose on Berger revealing how he had manipulated his draft board status to avoid serving. Perhaps someone out there could find a copy.
Bill Clinton's national security advisor (predecessor to Condoleezza Rice) has pled GUILTY to stealing classified documents and destroying some of them.
Notwithstanding his initial claims the incident in which he secreted documents in his pants and socks was an "honest mistake," Sandy Berger copped a plea and got a dainty slap on the wrist.
Berger's theft and lying were neither honest NOR a mistake. He willfully, with malice of forethought, and full knowledge of the severity of his crime, stole classified documents and destroyed some of them. The act is outflippingragous. The arrogance of Berger in presuming he could (and did) get away with it is way beyond aggravating. The sentence is infuriatingly absurd.
Once upon a time men where executed for less egregious offenses. Berger was sentenced to:
•No prison time.
•A measly $10,000 fine (less than one speaking fee).
•Three-year revocation of his security clearance.
This travesty of justice is sufficient to gag any maggot.

scroll almst to the bottom, the title is "Outrage"
he also has posted something from WSJ defending Berger.
It's fairly obvious that Berger would betray his country in a heartbeat if he thought there was anything in it for him. Why he should ever again be placed in a position of trust is beyond me. I wouldn't trust him with a change dispenser on an ice-cream truck.
Other Clintonistas are at work destroying other evidence so that in 2008, Hillie's surrogates will be able to lie that Hillie's fights for America just as her husband did. It will be just like Whitewater; every one knows they did the crimes, it is just that all the witnesses are dead and all the evidence destroyed.
Sometimes, I wonder if W IS really as stupid as the dems say.
