Younger people have no clue what this murdering scum got away with.
It’s probably a whitewash.
The CEO was just on Kennedy and doubled the advertising budget after the guy left...would not name him...
IT is amazing the country made it this far....you look at the Presidents we have elected...maybe one good president in your lifetime
My entire malleable childhood was formed by this event.
Then I had to watch this drunken pig be lionized by the Boston/national media.
This is why I am a Conservative.
Liberal cockroaches can’t stand the light.
“”relatively unknown scandal.”
To just the Millennials.
Ted Kennedy needs to be removed from Arlington and dumped in the mexican desert where he belongs.
Wow.. I clicked “Post” way too soon in the article.
“When asked if politicians today are held more accountable for their actions, Helms said, “What’s interesting is that politicians are only as accountable as they allow themselves to be or to the extent that they take responsibility for things.”
He added, “What’s really unnerving about the way Trump doesn’t take responsibility for things is that [it’s] hard to hold him accountable for those things.””
Trump not taking responsibility? For God’s sake Helms, Obama blamed Bush for 8 freakin’ years! And, Hillary is blaming the Russians! Are you jackin’ with me? For the love of all that’s holy man, take off the blinders and open your eyes, you’re only blind if you choose to be!

...ABC received a range of criticism from terrorism experts and people portrayed in the film that The Path to 9/11 contained false scenes, distorted events and misrepresented actions of people, with ABC receiving letters from Richard Clarke, Chief Executive Officer Bruce R. Lindsey of the William J. Clinton Foundation, and Douglas J. Band, Counselor to President Clinton, Samuel R.

Unauthorized removal and destruction of classified material
On July 19, 2004, it was revealed that the United States Department of Justice was investigating Berger for unauthorized removal of classified documents in October 2003 from a National Archives reading room prior to testifying before the 9/11 Commission. The documents were five classified copies of a single report commissioned from Richard Clarke covering internal assessments of the Clinton Administration’s handling of the unsuccessful 2000 millennium attack plots. An associate of Berger said Berger took one copy in September 2003 and four copies in October 2003, allegedly by stuffing the documents into his socks and pants.[19][20] Berger subsequently lied to investigators when questioned about the removal of the documents.[21]
In April 2005, Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material from the National Archives in Washington.[22]
Berger was fined $50,000,[23] sentenced to serve two years of probation and 100 hours of community service, and stripped of his security clearance for 3 years.[21][24] The Justice Department initially said Berger stole only copies of classified documents and not originals,[25] but the House Government Reform Committee later revealed that an unsupervised Berger had been given access to classified files of original, uncopied, uninventoried documents on terrorism. During the House Government Reform Committee hearings, Nancy Kegan Smith — who was the director of the presidential documents staff at the National Archives and Records Administration — acknowledged that she had granted Berger access to original materials in her office.[26]
On December 20, 2006, Inspector General Paul Brachfeld reported that Berger took a break to go outside without an escort. “In total, during this visit, he removed four documents ... Mr. Berger said he placed the documents under a trailer in an accessible construction area outside Archives 1 (the main Archives building)”. Berger acknowledged having later retrieved the documents from the construction area and returned with them to his office.[27][28]
On May 17, 2007, Berger relinquished his license to practice law as a result of the Justice Department investigation. Saying, “I have decided to voluntarily relinquish my license. ... While I derived great satisfaction from years of practicing law, I have not done so for 15 years and do not envision returning to the profession. I am very sorry for what I did, and I deeply apologize.” By giving up his license, Berger avoided cross-examination by the Bar Counsel regarding details of his thefts.[29]
Someone made Byron an offer he could not refuse.

Imagine if someone did this to Micheal Moore’s films or something like that.
“The Kennedy Curse,” is a book y’all should read. The whole family were crooks and liars as well as killers. Cannot imagine why Kennedy was elected prez, proved his incompetance daily and is still glorified. He was an immoral scoundrel and should get zero votes from anyone for “popularity.” Or maybe, he was only popular with scores of whores that his bodyguards imported for him for use in the WH.
Phony pressure. Release the Chappaquiddick movie back when the Kennedys are still alive. That is pressure.
Today, now, is fake.
We need a movement to demand that he reveal who all of these “powerful people” are and exactly what was said, offered, threatened, etc. It is not enough to tell the public that there is such an ongoing cover-up even NOW, 4 decades later. The public needs to know about WHO is continuing the cover-up.
God bless Mary Jo> “Unfortunately, there are some very powerful people who tried to put pressure on me not to release this movie,” Allen said. “They went out of their way to try and influence me in a negative way. I made it very clear that I’m not about the right, I’m not about the left. I’m about the truth.”
He’s about the truth.
Well, how about sharing that truth starting with naming names.
In this era of social media, a few videos or tweets here and there will get the truth out in less than a day.
