"You are forgetting two major points:
1) Berger is a Democrat and thus immune in the liberal world,
and 2) Republicans are in charge of the investigation meaning nothing will come from it."
I'll predict that a Bush victory in Nov. will equal a Berger prosecution. But it will be for a slap on the wrist crime, which won't amount to much.
Partisanship aside, Washington types don't want to go too hard on one from the opposition party, lest turnabout come into play later.
The only "Washington types" that believe that are Republicans.
Democrats know that no matter what they do, they'll never be held accountable or called on it.
I agree that Berger will get nothing in the form of punishment for what could be argued is treason. Republicans are wimps which is why I'm not one any longer.
True, I'll still vote for them, but if that individual running is a wuss in my opinion, I leave that ballot blank like when Lamar! won the primary for Senate in Tenn and I backed Ed Bryant. I don't like Lamar! and didn't bother to vote knowing he was "moderate" enough to win. And besides, his Dem opponent was a neutered wimp too and never made a dint in DC his entire Congressional career and would do no harm.
