Sandy Berger: What Did He Take and Why Did He Take It?(Sandy Burglar)
Real Clear Politics ^ | January 15, 2007 | Ronald A. Cass

Some things cry out for explanation. Like finding $90,000 in marked bills in a Congressman's freezer. Or finding out that a blue-chip lawyer who held one of the most important jobs in the nation was willing to risk his career, his livelihood, and his liberty to steal, hide, and destroy classified documents.

We all have a pretty good idea what the money was doing in Representative William Jefferson's freezer. But the questions about President William Jefferson Clinton's National Security Adviser, Sandy Berger, just keep piling up.

It's time we got some answers.

He did it to protect the Clintons and also to protect himself. Who knows, maybe the documents he supposedly destroyed are in safe keeping as insurance that no accident befalls Sandy.

As for why the DoJ let him skate who knows? He even gets his clearance back in 2008. Ahem!

And right you are. The kinder, gentler way of losing most standards that made us great.

Or why Republicans like Delay and others drop out of the House while people like William Jefferson are still in? Its because they are the stupid party. The GOP fights by the Queensbury Rules while the other side is street fighting.

Exposing the Clinton administration and the anti-American Democrats sycophants would and could prevent them from ever holding power.

Our democracy depends on choice. If the right were to have ultimate, absolute power, how far would it go?
The politicians have great power, and with great power comes responsibility. Power has a tendency to corrupt. People aren't infallible.

As much as I'd like to see the left gone from the scene forever, there has to be a balance. For example: If it weren't for the Religious right (a restrainer) keeping our moral fabric in check, what kind of nation would we be living in now? How defiled and diseased would the human race become? How far would the right to kill go?
If it weren't for a few necessary programs, how many elderly or disabled people would die from lack of care?

The problem with our system today is 40 years of democrat power. It'll take 40 years of Republican power to bring the nation back to it's original balance and the founders intent. The Republicans wasted their chance by going too far left. They went the wrong direction.

Why are we letting this duplicitous dumbo get away with endangering US citizens?

Because our elected representatives are not interested in us or this cover-up at all and are scared to provoke The Democrats & Big Media.

...disgusting, isn't it!

Just watched a program this morning on the History channel concerning the assassination of Robert Kennedy.

Those who see the assassination as a conspiracy were thwarted for a long time because of lack of access to relevant evidence.

They were eventually successful in gainly access to the information ( or most of it) they wanted through the Freedom of Information Act.

Could this work in this case?

Don't Americans have a right to know what happened?

In addition to Sandy Burglar, the people in charge of the archives need to be held accountable for this.

I too am puzzled by the lack of public outrage over this..........it was an infuriating act and a high crime.

A study of his Clinton-era phone records and computer emails to see who Berger was talking to should prove interesting. God knows how much info Berger stole then, where he hid it, and where it ended up.

He claims he destroyed the documents he didn't return. He didn't. They're his life insurance policy. Clinton's Chinese mafia can't touch him as long as he has possession of those documents.

RINOs destroyed the GOP majority to be sure.

80% of the media is liberal. They don't want people to know about it.

Liberals are switching parties and becoming Republicans. Why? To guarantee a liberal government. The R or D is irrelevant in the end.

Vote for a liberal, you'll get liberalism.
Don't vote D/L. Don't vote R/L. Don't vote for a letter of the alphabet.
Vote for a philosophy. Vote for Conservative canidates.

Of course, we also were assured that Monica had only imagined a relationship with Bill and that rumors to the contrary were, in Hillary's famous phrase, the work of a "vast right-wing conspiracy."

So's this article....
