Sandy Berger to be an adviser on the Clinton campaign?????
This ought to be fun.
Just heard it mentioned this morning on Fox News.

I think this is a defensive move on the part of the Clinton machine. Having made a plea bargain, Berger served a piddling sentence of community service, 50 grand, and the temporary loss of his security clearance. (The last part bugs me especially.)
So, he's now a free agent and due to double jeopardy protection cannot be charged with his crime again. But suppose he decided to blab about what was the setup for his actions? Suppose he talked about how Bill Clinton and his thugs instructed Berger to go the Archives and make sure it was cleansed of any copies of documents with incriminating notes which might embarrass Clinton at the 9/11 Commission hearings?
Since apparently only original documents come under the Archives' accounting system, Berger had only to steal any incriminating copies. He accomplished this easily under the sloppy surveillance of Archive guards.
So, Berger became a ticking bomb to the current Hillary campaign. If Berger were to go public with the background of what happened, not even the vaunted talent of the Machine could stop the bleeding.
Berger was brought into the bosom of Hillary's campaign, probably with promises of a good job later (SecState, maybe?) if he kept his mouth shut and promised to recite, "Ft. Marcy Park" twenty times each day.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way. Remember that Berger was supposed to take a polygraph test as a condition of his plea? Don't hold your breath.

Exactly what I was thinking.
How many ways can we spell 'payoff'.

I can hardly wait for the movie.
"The Spy with Bulging Socks", starring Sandy Berger.

KUDOS to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.
I think we should all urge our Congresscritters to sign Rohrabacher's letter!
| Quote: | Not Letting the Berger Story Drop [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Via e-mail:
Washington, DC-October 11, 2007- Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) sent a letter to the Justice Department today asking for former Clinton Administration National Security Advisor Sandy Berger to surrender to the department immediately and that a polygraph test be administered forthwith. In 2005, Mr. Berger pled guilty to the mishandling and destruction of classified national security documents after admitting he entered the National Archives and unlawfully removed them. The documents have never been recovered. As part of the plea deal, Mr. Berger agreed to take a polygraph test to be administered by the Department of Justice, however, two years have passed and he has yet to fulfill his legal obligation.
“Mr. Berger removed the documents by stuffing them down his pants and in his suit jacket, presumably with the intention of getting rid of any damning evidence showing his involvement in the failure of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to prevent Sept. 11th attacks prior to his testimony before the 9-11 Commission,” writes Rohrabacher. “The Congress and the American people deserve to know the facts of this crime and what Mr. Berger was covering up.”
Twenty-two Members of Congress have joined Rep. Rohrabacher in his request. |
