Amazing. Even out of office, the Clinton Administration out-scandals their successors.

He didn't "mishandle" anything. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Misdemeanor? What a load of crap that is. He did the equivalent to pleading guilty to jaywalking. That slug should be in federal butt-slam prison.

I'd like to give the Bush Administration a nice pat on the butt for letting yet another Klintonite crime go unpunished.

Disgusting, to the hilt. Mishandling documents? Let's see, if I steal a car, is that MISHANDLING A CAR -- (a misdemeanor) ???

And we wonder why Washington thinks (KNOWS) it can get away with murder, er, crimes all day long. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. What a pathetic joke. Two systems of justice in this country -- one for them, one for us.

for the life of me, I can't understand why the Bush Admin doesn't come down hard on these lawbreakers. Berger is a traitor. I would hate that the political class would protect one of it's own. disgusting.

So, does this mean if I somehow get into the National Archives and 'mishandle' some paperwork, I would only be charged with a misdemeanor?

Of course not! I am just one of the little peeples. I would be incarcerated for the rest of my life!

Excellent observation. He likely committed a treasonous act and Bush will let him slide. I wonder why that is so?

Secretary of Defense Cohen, Impeached Bill Clinton, Albright, and long-accepted CODE-level thief
and document destroyer National Security Adviser Sandy Berger,
holding court in the Ronald Reagan Building on April 25, 1999
The Impeached Bill Clinton: "We were all making comments
we shouldn't have about how the meeting was getting very boring.
So finally we decided we had to make like the monkey. Cohen
started this 'hear no evil,' and then I was next so I spoke no evil,
then Madeleine saw no evil, so Sandy Berger said, 'I'm evil.

Berger purloined all draft revisions of a key critique of the government's response
to the millennium terrorism threat, a document that detailed Administration knowledge
– and inaction – regarding al Qaeda presence in the U.S. in 1999
and 2000. Stolen were crucial notes in the margins of these drafts
which reveal the thinking and agendas of the
Clinton Administration relating to the mounting terrorist threat.

We can take out Osama, now. Please answer!!! We have him in our sight."

Berger-Burglar: "Nope. Forgetaboutit. No big deal. Bill and I are too busy watching the West Wing on TV."


"I was summoned to the office of National Security adviser Sandy Berger,
who chewed me out for not having a national security adviser (on the West Wing).
So I opened the next season with Anna Deavere Smith as the national security adviser
