The 9/11 Commission completed its report under conditions that dictated that members couldn't question Berger about the theft of classified records they had requested of the Archives, without reopening the hearing. This, after it relied on his testimony. (This fact would have certainly affected his credibility.)
It was leaked after Clinton testified in Berger’s and in yet another Clinton spin doctor’s presence, Bruce Lindsey's. Those were the only two men we are certain knew of the investigation at that time.

Bruce R. Lindsey, who serves as former president Bill Clinton's liaison to the Archives, said he was not alerted to concerns about missing documents until two days after Berger's Oct. 2 visit. Berger was notified that day, and he searched his office for the missing papers. A government source claiming knowledge of the investigation said Archives officials alerted Lindsey to concerns after a visit by Berger in September.

Sandy Berger has been the subject of a criminal probe since October. Former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova notes that the length of this probe against the understanding that Berger has not yet been interviewed by the FBI indicates a potentially serious charge.

Byron York reports that Berger took multiple copies of 15-to-30-page reports on two occasions. Pants and socks.
And those unanswered terrorists attacks are why Berger was desperate to expunge the historical record so completely, of Clinton's failure to respond. More specifically, to allow the Clinton administration to continue taking credit for stopping the terrorist from getting through by car, at the Canadian border, saving LAX from a millinium attack.
