Sandy Bungler's Burglary Exposed or...Why Character Matters

“My staff’s investigation reveals that President Clinton’s former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger compromised national security much more than originally disclosed,” Davis said. “It is now also clear that Mr. Berger was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to compromise national security, apparently for his own convenience.

“The 9/11 Commission relied on incomplete and misleading information regarding its access to documents Mr. Berger reviewed. No one ever told the Commission that Mr. Berger had access to original documents that he could have taken without detection.

Lots of unasnered questions, indeed.

It's vital to find out what was in those documents. What was Berger so interested in concealing that he didn't mind the guilty plea or the $50,000 fine?

He's a slam-dunk to get a national security position in the Hillary Administration.

Waterboarding should help find the answers.

And who actually paid the $50K fine? That's simply Clinton Mafia walk around money.

Good question. That's why any decent investigative reporter should be "following the money" to see where it leads. My bet is back towards Hillary.
