wretchard matches each tactic well with each explanation.
However, he is making the assertion, for his examples, that each is successful.
Berger was caught. And his actions were so clumsy as to almost makes one think he wanted to get caught. For one in his position, with his knowledge of the workings of the security system of the National Archives, it almost strains credulity to read of his bungling attempts at theft.
I have always taught and preached - NEVER understimate your enemy...NEVER. It will come back to bite you in your 6 when you least expect it.
This time, my money says we are seeing the actions of a dsperate man who was making a sorry-assed attempt at establishing his creds with who he was putting his money on in the next election. And probably getting paid for his actions.
BUMP
Nice to see Wretchard weighing in on Berglergate. I'll be staying tuned.

In all of the postulation regarding Mr. Bergler's state of mind while breaching National Security, let's not forget one thing.
The successful man becomes arrogant, and the man who lives and breathes security regulations can (not often, but possible) become innured to them. Combine arrogance, a false self-image, and a disdain for underlings, and you can see that Mr. Berglers breach of National Security may indeed have been entirely selfish.
That was just food for thought. Personally, I'm thinking he was acting on behalf of another and I'm not thinking of the presumptuous nominee.
