WASHINGTON, March 31 - Samuel R. Berger, the former national security adviser to President Bill Clinton, has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal misdemeanor charge and give up his security clearance for three years after removing classified material from a government archive, the Justice Department and associates of Mr. Berger said today.

And when is Hanoi Kerry going to give up his security clearance?


WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

Politics is a criminal brotherhood. They protect their own, irregardless of party labels. If you do not believe me, review the historical record of this nation's greatest show trial, otherwise known as the Clinton impeachment.

The NY Slimes has a more in depth look at this event.

"and he placed the document in his suit pocket, the associate said. A month later, during another session at the archive, he removed four more copies of other versions of the report, the associate said."

Notably the manner of secreting the "four more copies" is absent. Must be the pants/socks incidents.

No jail time?

In comparing the versions of the report at his office later that day, he realized that several were essentially the same, and he cut three copies into small pieces with a scissors, the associate said.

A few comments are in order.

1) why not just sneak them back in and return them?

2) what with all the sensitive correspondence someone like Berger would handle on a daily basis, are we to believe that Sandy Berger doesn't have a personal-sized paper shredder at home? Of all people, Berger would know that cutting a document up with scissors is an invitation for a jigsaw puzzle champion to piece it back together. He knows it is not a viable means of disposing of a document. Hell, burning it would have been better. Why scissors?

3) if I had to guess, Berger was probably blackmailed into stealing the documents, the three "destroyed" copies probably are in Beijing or somewhere similar by now.

4) am I the only one to suspect that in return for this slap on the wrist, Berger had to cooperate more than just saying he did it and was sorry? If he was let off the hook this easy in return for nothing, the Justice Department is insane. I'm hoping beyond hope that Berger was flipped and had to rat out whoever put him up to this in the first place.

muawiyah fyi, incase you haven't seen this thread.

I'll wait for the announcement tomorrow.

I've been wondering what's been going on with SandraStuffedSocks...........

[SpinyNorman]

The Berger story slips by under the MSM radar, while Tom Delay is publicly hounded for unproven allegations by a known Democrat prosecutor.

MSM fairplay is nonexistent.

[4thInfVet]

Can anyone explain to me why a FORMER National Security Adviser still has access to classified documents?

Anyone.....Anyone......Bueller?

[freekitty]

So how will he be punished? A big sloppy wet kiss and a few million for helping the Clintons stay out of jail.

[Freee-dame]

A month later, during another session at the archive, he removed four more copies of other versions of the report, the associate said.

copies? If it's another version, it's not a copy,

The DoJ may as well have announced Berger was being put to bed without his milk and cookies....

We have NO motive?? NO report of why Berger was stealing classified documents??

The Bush DoJ is pathetic.

The fix was in as usual when it comes to ALL Clintonian criminial activity.
