Oopsie.
Oh, nevermind. The thief's a Democrat.
Betcha' Babs didn't like Fawn Hall at all.
Otherwise, Whitey Bulger, stolen FBI files, FBI conspiracies to murder <----- all ignored by President Bush, yet again.
Clinton as a character witness somehow just doesn't work for me.
"Mr. Berger does not want any issue surrounding the 9/11 commission to be used for partisan purposes."
I think he's being sloppy again, he meant to say Republican partisan purposes. Too bad he wasn't worrying about the integrity of the process when he was stealing classified documents.
Since the mainstream lefty press will do their best to quickly bury what emerges from Berger's pilfering episodes, I'm going to entertain myself by setting up a betting pool predicting how long it takes them to do so.
If the GOP allows this matter to drop, I'm going to allow my volunteer work and financial support of the GOP "drop" as well. I'm TIRED OF THIS.
#4..For less than this, Chuck Colson, & others in the Nixon administration, went to prison.
As far as the leak, I just read on Drudge that Bill Clinton is claiming to have known about this investigation for months. And the Kerry Campaign is saying they didn't know anything about this???? Something's definitely rotten here.
Typical Democrat/Clinton sleight of hand. Nobody has charged that Berger "did not work his heart out for this country".
It is the same style of misdirection that Kerry and Cleland and Daschle and others use when they protest that Republicans have questioned their patriotism (when, instead, Republicans have questioned votes, policies, and statements that they have made).
Leave it to the Rats to spin this as a matter of "timing," and leave it to the Republicans to sit there with their thumbs in their ears, hoping not to get anyone mad at them.
I am so sick of this "New Tone" garbage I could scream. If this doesn't get them to take off the white gloves, nothing, absolutely nothing will.
These people STILL control the IRS, and worse.
How many FBI files can they steal for it to be A-OK forever under the Bush Administration?
Prosecutors: No Dice on Berger Deal
Justice Department prosecutors have reportedly rejected several offers from former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger's lawyer to resolve the department's eight-month long investigation into his illegal removal of top secret documents from the 9/11 Commission's reading room.
Two sources associated with the investigation told CNN that lawyer Lanny Breuer made a detailed statement of Berger's view of the facts at issue several months ago. According to the unnamed sources, Berger has offered to talk to the Justice Department about a resolution to the probe.
In the intervening months, Breuer has renewed Berger's offer to come clean several times.
But in a bad omen for the former top Clinton national security official, the Justice Department has repeatedly rebuffed the offer and refused to enter into any discussions.
Instead, Deputy Attorney General James Comey warned Tuesday that Berger - who resigned hours ago as a top campaign advisor to presidential candidate John Kerry - could face jail time.
"It is against the law for anyone to intentionally mishandle classified information, either by taking it to give to somebody else, or by mishandling in a way that is outside the regulations of government information," Comey told reporters in Washington.

(don't believe CBS.)
On Fox News earlier it was reported that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, referred to this as a "third rate burglary".
I agree with you.
It was also a great deal more than that. But seems that ' a mistake in judgment' is sufficient explanation for Berger to be treated a little differently under the law. Or perhaps it is just the luck of the Democrats in Washington.
While Demrats cry for Bush's impeachment; we will not pursue this matter of what at least is a deliberate and incredible breach of National Security. . .and we will listen to the Demrats remind us at every opportunity; as to how great a patriot Berger is; that he was only taking home 'memos' that everyone in town had access to.
We will listen to more and more of their lies; and take their hate and blame for this as well that it was a Republican plot to smear Clinton and/or Kerry.
By November 4th; the Repubs will have attempted to overthrow the democratic process by this maneuver.
I am so furious, I feel like I may not even vote. But perhaps I am over-reacting. And the above judgment of not prosecuting may be just a rumor put out by the Lib/Left machine.
Right. . .
In the acts of smuggling classified material out of it's authorized place of "safe keeping", the "Turkey" committed criminal acts. He should be strung up immediately after a fair trial. Why the government doesn't act would also be criminal, if it comes to that.
CLINTON SAYS BERGER-DOCUMENTS FUROR IS JUST POLITICS: 'WE WERE ALL LAUGHING ABOUT IT'
Laughing, yea, what a jerk!!!!
I hope and pray that nothing less than charges and a full Senate investigation is called.
However, I won't hold my breath.
If you don't vote, then they have won.
That's how I look at it. I get frustrated too, but I want President Bush to win this election because he is the best man for the job, and because I want to spend the week after just taunting the liberals. :o)
Did you see another post above that totally contradicts what the first post said about them not pressing charges?
