Rush just said at the end of his broadcast that Sandy Berger was given a $50,000 fine and 2 years of probation.
Slap on the wrist.
We should not forget this happened under the Bush DoJ.
Two kinds of criminal justice. One for the "protected class" and the other for the "little people".
>>>>Sandy Berger was given a $50,000 fine ...
>>Shouldn't take much more than a 'phone call on the part of Berger to raise that kind of money. Guaranteed it won't be his money ...
Sounds like he ought to get a tax audit for the year in which he pays the fine, to make sure he paid any appropriate gift taxes.
Is tax evasion enough to trigger parole revocation?
And Lady Justice gets another black eye from corrupt judges.
leaving this site again since rational and adult discussion is well nigh impossible.
That seems a tad thick, cc.
But, if you insist, let's rearrange the above:

~oh brother~
Well, call me Pollyanna, but I think Sandy might not have gotten off as lightly as we think :)
White Wash!! These politicians cover their asses.
Wonder what Liddy thinks of this?
Well, Sandy will wait it out hoping a Democrat gets elected. He probably cooperated just enough to allow investigators believe he was sincere in his info. His hope is to get a pardon in 2012 to wipe his record clean. He is acting the good soldier, keeping quiet, claiming ignorance, acting stupid. The guy is a criminal. Any other soldier or sailor steals TS and claims ignorance, they get Leavonworth and a rockpile. Somethings wrong. Bush should have slammed him. He has nothing to lose while in his second term.
and to think, this guitly guy was almost our sec. of state. < shiver >
Reminds of of the end of "Clear and Present Danger".
He pulled out the chip and had it cashed in.
The old Potomic two-step.
"Im shocked I tell you, shocked"
And a felony conviction - no security clearance for the Burglar in the future...
If Berger had been a conservative member of the GOP he would have had the book thrown at him. This sentence is a bloody joke!
We at least should've been able to see a story about Bergler being raped in prison.
So how the the Bush DoJ explain this one?
I worked in the aerospace industry for 25 years, at times holding a Top Secret clearance. We would be written up for leaving so much as a secret cover on a desk; that is, a cover with nothing classified under it.It is inconceivable that any of us would have gotten the slap on the wrist that Sandy Burglar received for his outrageous theft (not mere mishandling) of classified material.
He lost security clearance for 3 years. He should have been denied it for life.
Was it only 2 years?
"Rush just said at the end of his broadcast that Sandy Berger was given a $50,000 fine and 2 years of probation"
Looks like the left paid off someone on the right.
Wonder who in DC just bought a new house or fancy car?
Hey 68 I wonder if big lump in Sandy pants gave him away if you know what
Like are you happy to see me or there is big snake in your pant
