CLINTON SAYS BERGER-DOCUMENTS FUROR IS JUST POLITICS: 'WE WERE ALL LAUGHING ABOUT IT'
Tue Jul 20 2004 20:54:50 ET
Former president Bill Clinton defends his embattled national security advisor as a man who "always got things right," even if his desk was a mess.
"We were all laughing about it," Clinton said about the investigation into Sandy Berger for taking classified terrorism documents from the National Archives. "People who don't know him might find it hard to believe. But ... all of us who've been in his office have always found him buried beneath papers."

DRUDGE has learned: In an interview set for publication Wednesday in the DENVER POST, Clinton questions the timing of the Berger flap less than a week before the Democratic National Convention and two days before a presidential commission is slated to release its final report on the Bush administration's handling of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Clinton tells the POST he has known about the federal probe of Berger's actions for several months, calling the news a "non-story."
"I wish I knew who leaked it. It's interesting timing," he added.
"I feel terrible for Sandy. But I just believe his explanation because I know how much he cared about this ... terrorism business," Clinton said, describing his former security advisor as a "workaholic" who has "always been up to his ears in papers."
Developing...
One con supporting another con. The Prevarciating Brotherhood.
Rose Law Firm billing records? Yah, we were hootin it up about that too!!
yeah, he's up to his socks in papers.
Clinton knows this is not a "non-story" and his reaction makes me wonder if this wasn't a Clinton & Clinton leak.
What a lying, festering, hemorrhoidic, boil-covered anus.
Yes, it is hard to believe and that's why I don't believe it or Slick Willie.
Clinton says, "Impeachment was just all about politics, we were all laughing about it."
I am determined to out live that piece of crap, just so I
can at least know a little peace.
Clinton is laughing that his NSA stole and distroyed some of the highest national security documents our country possessed. Not just once but twice.
So why did Berger resign from the Kerry campaign if it is no big deal?
Clinton says he has known about this for months. Did Kerry?
"I wish I knew who leaked it. It's interesting timing," he added.
Enough said. The 'leak' was planted by some shill for the Clinton's to further discredit Kerry by stealing the limelight prior to the convention.
This confirms that there IS something to it.
hehehe... nice try, Bill.
Classified document storage rooms are uniquely unambiguous in their intent to preserve the security of the things stored there. You don't take things out of there "by mistake".
Bill Clinton, Berger, Hillery!?
A lot of democrats fit that discription!
Reckon the "Sandy defense" will work?
I do really, really care.
I'm just sloppy. Hey, check out my pants, boss.
In this case, Bubba.
Billzo can't plead ignorance of that period either ~ you just better believe he was after Fawn's phone number 24/7.
I now see where Carl (Mr. Watergate) Bernstein got his talking points for today. I'm so glad we have the Internet to connect the dots of all the rats and their co-conspirators.
Well that democrat that Ann was taking apart on Hannity and Colmes sure wasn't laughing about it. That guy sounded like someone poured ice water down his shorts.
What always amazes me is how we are supposed to feel comforted by the incompetence the Clintons always claim when they or any of theirs are caught.
Aw, shucks, ya know how it is, I mean, Hillary was too busy baking cookies to keep up with those ol' papers, an as fer Sandy here, why his momma always has to go tell him to clean up his room, yuck, yuck, yuck....
Paul,
Don't hold back tell us how you really feel...
Let any embezzler make the same claims and see how far that gets him.
oh, just like he "laughed" at losing the "FOOTBALL?" LtCol "Buzz" Patterson please chime in on this if you're out there.
It would only get me kicked off.
Of course - Before he din't know about it.
Next
Hmmmmmmm.........
So that you can make him/her join the other 38 +/- people who suffered mysterious death with interesting timing? Interesting, indeed.
Lucky-to-have-only-been-Impeached before the 911 Commission
with his Document-Procurer-on-Loan-to-Kerry Sandy (the) NSA Burglar:
[quietly, fuming, out of the side of his mouth]
"Sandy, are you absolutely d@amn positively certain you took
each and every one of the important classified documents?
Sandy, if you f&ck up, she will put us both into Fort Marcy Park."
just saw, David Fenn? a dem strategist parroting this same crap on hannity and colmes
Clinton usually has such a good political ear, boy he's in for a surprise here.
The pathology will probably come back like he did after his "I did it because I could" and turn the quote on its head and say he said that because kids need to know that there are consequences for their actions.
I bet he'll try to say "we were all laughing about it because we couldn't believe he could do something so irresonsible" which to any interviewer other than Larry King will get a huge "huh?"
Yeah, and maybe if they start check out employees at Los Alamos with messy desks they'll find those missing disks.
Definately, it has the smell of Hillary and Bill all over it!
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHeeeeeeeeeeeee's back!
One day these people are going to get what's coming to them and I doubt they will be laughing then.
Classic Clinton spin...
touche`
Kerry said today that he "knew nothing about the investigation until last night when it broke in the media"...yeah, right. If clinton knew months ago, so did Kerry.
"Yea, it was just like when Algore lost those one million emails. We all had a big laugh about it. Al was always sloppy with his emails and it was bound to happen sooner or later".
Yeah caught it. Sounded more like someone "Stump-Broke" him and Alan with ICE CUBEs.
Peter Finn, democrat strategist (and Clinton apologist especially during Monicagate).
Ha ha ha! Felonies are funy! Ha ha ha! Perjury in front of a federal grand jury's funny! Stealing classified information is funny! Those are all real jokes!
I'm not shocked. X42 never had respect for the law. Violating the law is a laugh riot!
Not only wasn't a mistake but if I were going to replace a document the first thing I would want to do is take the original out of the storage room. Then I could put in the replacement document when the next time I returned.
This must explain Craig Livingstone. He was such a lard-butt, that he tipped over a file cabinet, and those files just accidentally fell into his underwear. Not being able to reach around to his butt, he had to have Hillary get them out.
Disgusting, but not surprising
