GOP Leaders Seek Probe of Berger Papers
Breitbart/AP ^ | 10/11/2006 | ERICA WERNER/ AP

A group of House Republicans called Wednesday for a congressional investigation into the improper handling of classified documents by President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger. Berger admitted last year that he deliberately took classified documents out of the National Archives in 2003 and destroyed some of them at his office. He pleaded guilty in federal court to one charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material and was fined $50,000.

He's the only politician I've ever emailed and it was to give him a pat on the back for having some balls! This was awhile back though. Too bad it's a rare thing with the Rs.

I'm not sure. I know it was sometime around the 9/11 Whitewash Commission Cover Up Hearings. Berger said he was researching for his Testimony. If thats been 2 years, and an election I'm not sure.

But I hear your point. If it was so important, why didn't the GOP bring it up then.

"Why is this sleazeball still in public service of any kind?"

Because the Bush Justice Deparment, for whatever reason, decided not to dish out some real punishment. It's as simple as that.

Good afternoon.

I hope they go after the bureaucrats who let him have the documents as well. They're also guilty.

You are talking to someone who can't remember today's date...LOL

The public version of the 9/11 Commission Report came out on June 22, 2004....before the elections...so, Berger HAD stolen the papers by then...and there WAS an election to use that against the Dems.

I just think that the GOP is tired of the dirty tricks...and having Berger going around like dem rock star was TOO much for Sensenbrenner.

The GOP, at this point, has nothing to lose by going for the jugular, IMHO>

I even got the impression that President Bush his feeling that way...by the tone of his presser today...and his speech on the economy.

Are you saying this is politics above principal?

The GOP could have gone for the "Jugular" had they actually punished Berger.
He was caught red-handed, like Clinton and the Blue Dress.
For some reason, the chose not to.

Well, there ya go. He pleaded guilty in federal court to one charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material and was fined $50,000.

Are you implying that the punishment isn't equitable to the crime? Look, Berger is a Democrat, no matter what the guy does his motives are pure (unlike the most evil fascist ever to have walked the earth, and closely following on his heels being none other than Ronald Reagan).

He I seen that on DU, ergo, it must be true. Hey, lookee me: I used "ergo" in a sentance today!

Dude, I don't care what the F%$k he did, he's a Democrat, therefor his motives are pure.
