So what, the Bush justice system isn’t going to prosecute him anyway.
The problem is, we’ll never know the details, unless he turns on the Clintons, which generally isn’t good for one’s health.
Man, these Democrats are absolute geniuses at coverups. Whatever he destroyed would probably damned Hillary.
Have noted as well; the reluctance of Justice to execute just that; on America's behalf. Could not even muster 'will' to have Sandy honor the obligatory lie detector test as per his terms of agreement. Justice of course, has officially, 'closed the case'.
So. . .beyond Burger; WHO is taking note of our Justice Department; and it's efforts to subvert the truth - so as to protect and enhance the Clinton 'legacy'. A legacy that boldly recasts, not only the Clinton's past; but ours; and by turn, alters the probabilities from which our future - America's future - unfolds.
(Beyond Burger. . .beyond Plame/Wilson. . .beyond CIA. . .beyond Bush Administration; what has Justice Deparatment wrought; on it's own behalf. . .and WHY are they getting away with it?)

The Bush administration’s veneer chipped off irretrievably by looking the other way whilst Sandy “Burgler” thieved.
Why should he talk? He got away with it cold. Or, more precisely, the Bush administration allowed him to get away with it.
I think my real disillusionment with this administration, my first outbreak of BDS, if you will -- began with Sandy Berger.
Until then, I had managed to rationalize away all the other boneheaded administration moves I kept seeing out of sheer loyalty to the idea of a Republican presidency -- but there was just no way I could swallow this.
There is just no earthly reason I can possibly accept for the Bush Justice Department to ignore such a blatantly criminal misuse of power and privilege.
We'll never know, that's for sure. Given what he risked to pull this off, and given the common knowledge about what happens to those people who cross the Clintons, he will take whatever secret he managed to save with him to the grave.
It will always bother me is that Berger stole what is a piece of United States history. There will always be a question mark regarding Clinton’s actions to combat terrorism in the late 90’s. It will always be “historians will argue...” And that’s a shame.
And people wonder why the rule of law doesn’t matter when it comes to the immigration issue.
Here’s the bottom line:
Given the severity of the crime that Berger committed,
it’s obvious that NOT stealing those documents would have had FAR GREATER CONSEQUENCES than the punishment for stealing them.
Our security and vitality of the rule of law in America are at stake as well. That should concern all whose lives and loved ones may be at risk if our nation follows the wrong path, not knowing everything that should inform our judgments. It should concern all who respect the law, all who have labored as lawyers and judges, as honorable government officials and voices for even-handed justice.
Confidence in our ability to govern ourselves erodes when high ranking POS like Sandy Berger walks in lockstep with a Just Us Department. Great men and women have given their lives for this?
A very interesting development. Obviously, he had far more to lose by retaining his license. And it hopefully ends whatever speculation there might have been for him to return to public office under any administration.
It saddens me to read the attacks on the President here on FR. His administration may not have been able to get to the whole truth behind the Berger/Clinton story but I don’t think anyone could have.
Sandy Burglar like the Klintoons and their minions will never have to worry about serving a day behind bars because the Klintoons have a J.Edgar Hoover insurance policy.
“Honey, I knew those copies of F.B.I. files would come in handy.”
Berger would be in Levenworth except for Pres. Bush.. and the Berger scandal says more about Bush than about Berger..
Many should be asking who in the hell is President Bush not what was Sandy up to.. Bush covered up Sandys doings like a cat in the cat box.. Eyes should be inspecting Bush NOT Berger.. How does George Bush and Sandy Berger get on the same team?.. Unless a third party owns them BOTH...
bttt
Because Hill and Bill promised him a job in her administration.
How about the accidental downing of a passenger jet over Long Island?
It’s dawned on me for the first time that maybe the Bushes agreed to ignore any Clinton wrongdoings as a price for Clinton/Gore dropping any further legal preceedings after the 2000 elections.
That’s all I can think of. That a deal had to be struck a long time ago where the Bushes agreed not to prosecute anything the Clintons (and their minions) did as a concession for the Clintons not making a stink over something huge.
Jay Cost: Michael Bloomberg vs. the 12th Amendment really interesting!
