After three days worth of denials from his legal team, eyewitnesses to Sandy Berger's top secret document heist have confirmed that the former national security advisor did indeed stash national security secrets in his socks, as well as his pants pockets."The stuffed socks and pockets is real," a senior law enforcement official told the New York Daily News. "The (theft) was reported by the guards." Guards at the National Archives told the FBI that Berger was observed stuffing his socks with handwritten notes about files he reviewed that were going to the Sept. 11 panel, the News said.
Guards also told investigators that Berger repeatedly asked to be left alone so he could make private phone calls. If Berger did make any calls from the top secret National Archives reading room, investigators will want to check his cell phone records to see whom he was contacting, and whether he was discussing the purloined documents.
Any calls to ex-President Clinton, who had dispatched Berger on the mission in advance of his own 9/11 testimony, could have staggering implications for the Democratic Party.
When Clinton testified before the 9/11 Commission on April 9, he was accompanied by Berger and his longtime damage-controller, Bruce Lindsey.
This is really amazing. It's getting worse by the day. Yesterday the spin was on (from his mouthpiece). Now today the tone has changed. Guess they got the word.
"If Berger did make any calls from the top secret National Archives reading room, investigators will want to check his cell phone records to see whom he was contacting, and whether he was discussing the purloined documents."
Ooops. Anyone think Berger was stupid enough to call Clinton or Kerry? Of course, he wasn't aware he was under a sting operation.
"Berger was observed stuffing his socks with handwritten notes"
Oh, yeah. This doesn't look nefarious at all. I put papers in my socks all the time.
**Docs in Socks**, a new child's book by Dr. Bergler.
I guess Peter Fenn will now have to eat his words. He appeared on Hannity/Colmes on Tuesday nite, saying that the socks story just wasn't true. I'll have to admit, I thought it was too outrageous to be true, myself. I still find it difficult to believe that someone could be so stupid to do this.
Yes, because, after 8 years in the clinton WH, these people are used to doing whatever they please and getting away with it.
So, does allegedly stealing these documents show that Samuel "Sandy" "Sox Burglar" Berger stupid, evil, and/or insane?
Someone needs to forward this to E.D. over at Fox & friends. She was attempting to run interference for Handy Bugler this Morning saying it was all congecture and rumor.
Wake up E.D. your precious Demonrats are CROOKS, THIEFS AND TRAITORS!
Does anyone know the penalty for theft of these type of classified documents? Been searching the web, but can't seem to find the info.
Thanks
Here's hoping Berger didn't have a videophone trained on any important documents.
So will Dee Dee Myers, who was on Scarborough saying the same thing.
If Condi was accused of doing this it would be the story of the century. But since it is only Clinton-Berger, move-on.....
I hope to God they've already done that -- many months ago.
LOL
"guess Peter Fenn will now have to eat his words."
"So will Dee Dee Myers, who was on Scarborough saying the same thing."
Lanny Davis too. Although a defense from that weasel is like a Gore endorsement.
Trivial point - I think it was *notes* in socks, not the actual memo's.
