Well Jim, we know now how to put the hurt on Bill Clinton and his obfuscating running dogs. Stand directly in the way of their campaign of rivisionist history.

Any evidence that does not fit the image created by Clinton's Arkansas Library, a propaganda device if there every was one, will now quietly be put into shredders by Clinton apponted federal bureaucrats across the nation.

Clinton is the most barbaric and uncivilized president this nation has ever had. That is his true legacy, and attempts to distort that are laughable.

ONCE AGAIN, I am going to correct this misunderstanding of what happened when Clinton took office. Clinton did NOT fire "all the career lawyers in the Justice Department." He fired all of the federal prosecutors, who are political appointees. Although no one had ever done it all at once at the beginning of an administration, Clinton was within his rights to do so, since they were political appointees. President Bush also replaced all of the prosecutors, although he did it over an extended period of time.

Career DOJ lawyers, who are under civil service protection, CANNOT legally be fired just because they are democrats. They can only be fired for "cause" and that "cause" has to be a provable offence, such as embezzlement.

Many freepers keep promoting this idea that somehow Bush should have fired everyone who was a democrat in the DOJ. Had Bush attempted to do so, he would have been immediately in violation of his oath and the law.

We still have clinton people running the justice department, Bush didn't remove any of hillary's lawyers when he took office, which surprised me. This is the reason no one has been charged with anything. Stealing classified material, leaking classified material to the press and what else? She removed everyone from the justice department the first week they were in the whitehouse and replaced them with their own flunkies, to protect thier butts for all crimes committed before, during and after their time "governing" this country.

This is hardly breaking news. The papers from Clinton's presidency were under Clinton's control and only he could authorize access. This has been widely reported and discussed.

Thanks for the correction. Now, can I have my keyboard back? I promise I'll never do anything to get scolded again. :)

The Bush Justice Department hands down. It is not surprising at all that Berger/Clinton would try to get away with such a thing. The fact that they recieved nothing but a slap on the wrist is deplorable. Yep, if you are a Washington elitist, crime does pay. I have come to believe 90% of the folks in Washington are in cahoots, it doesn't matter what letter is behind their names. They all cover eachothers a$$es.

My favorite part:

Berger said if someone had always been with him, he would not have taken any documents.

Good one re the iced tea.

Of course, the Big Creep experimented with iced tea a time or 2, but he didn't swallow.

Clinton did not authorize Berger's expedition because Clinton did not have any authority to sanction it. Clinton "plotted" the foray, maybe, or Ordered it, and induced Berger to actually do the deed, but there was NO authorization.

Sorry if I seemed a little harsh. Memories fade over time, and what happened in 93 sometimes gets confused and then others spread the misinformation unwittingly, which I am sure happened to you.

I have corrected this about 50 times over the last few years, and I cannot understand why the misunderstanding seems to still exist. As an interseting tidbit that goes along with this, Ashcroft DID reorganize the DOJ, and quite a few attorneys received new assignments in areas which weren't so sensitive.

However, over time, clerks and secretaries can be damaging also (since quite a few are democrats) and so eventually the Rat Patrol worms their way into getting information they shouldn't have.

I don't know the answer, because this problem with the career employees is prevalent not just in DOJ but also in State, the Pentagon, and the CIA (as we have see with the odious Plame-Wilson duo). A revamping of the Civil Service Law seems to be the answer, but this will never happen unless the Republicans can recapture both the executive and legislative branches with super-majorities.

We are fighting a long war, and one which will not be won within a few years. The infiltration of the workings of government with people who are anti-American and anti-ethical is simply massive. Some are motivated because they are true believers and others are simply willing to do anything for a buck. Expecting any Republican president to be able to immediately clean up this situation is simply unrealistic.

Thank you once again, Jim Robinson. I must have missed the hourly alerts on this. It has been all over the MSM. Oh, I forgot, Sandy Burglar isn't a Republican. Otherwise he would be in jail and banned from any security clearances for life. Another sleazy chapter in the Clinton saga the MSM will scramble to cover up.

Thank God for Jim Robinson and Free Republic!

or the Bush Justice department's corruption.

What does Bush's "alleged" corruption have to do with this article? I see nowhere in this article where the name "Bush" is even mentioned.

Why can't you liberals deal with the topic at hand? Why must you always try to divert attention away from the issue being discussed by inserting rumors and innuendo about others in place of the REALITY (which is supported by evidence) about your people.

You'd think that after Dan Rather liberals would learn their lesson.

> Why would they redact, though? Maybe it was Clinton's lawyer.

If you mean David Kendall, that guy would never allow his name to appear in a document.

"Then-Attorney General John Ashcroft testified before the 9-11 commission about the millennium report, urging the panel to ask why the document's warnings and "blueprint" to thwart al-Qaida's plans to target the U.S. were ignored by the Clinton administration and not shared with the incoming Bush security staff."

What did Bush know and when did he first know it ring a bell here?

Holy toads. This confirms our sense: Clinton sent Berger on a fact-destroying mission.

letter designating Berger – and another person whose named is redacted – as "agents on his behalf to review relevant NSC documents regarding Osama Bin Laden/Al Qaeda, Sudan and Presidential correspondence from or to (Sudanese President) Omar Bashir, contained in the Clinton Presidential records." A subsequent letter from a National Security Council official, May 14, 2002, said Berger repeatedly was briefed that "he was not allowed to remove any documentation from NARA."

The more details that come out about the Berger theft the more obvious it is that Clinton had very embarrassing documents at NARA. Documents that proved his inaction to go after Osama when he was offered up by Sudan. Clinton is on record denying ever being offered Bin Laden. These documents, proof to the contrary, had to be removed.

Press will bury this story.
