No, the NYT is going to be severly damaged by this, and all the rest of the mainstream media along with them. But, the NYT printed Wilson's perjurous editorial and then jumped in the fray with both legs, just as it was recovering from the Jayson Blair embarassment. T

I read on some thread that Mag. Robinson was appointed in 1988 - she hasn't been promoted since? Magistrate judges are the lowest of the federal judiciary.

In other words, she must have a rep of pissing off politicians. He**, if I were her I send him to prison just because Clinton never appointed me to a higher bench.

I once heard the Swimmer bloviating on the radio about how there shouldn't be one law for the rich and powerful and one for the masses!

I believe the Admiral of the SS Oldsmobile quote is incomplete. I believe his statement was, "There shouldn't be one law for the rich and powerful and one for the masses! But there is, fortunately, and you little people will just have to deal with it!!".

LOL! I must have misheard!

(I don't recall whether I heard that before or after he managed to have his late mother declared a Florida resident so her will would be probated there, though she hadn't been out of MA in about 12 years.)

After the plea deal was announced, the NY Post reported that the probe “seems to have shifted to whether Clinton appointees at the Archives tried to cover for Berger. Archives chief John Carlin, a Clinton appointee, was bounced soon after the incident. It's a violation of law to take classified documents, so Archives staffers should have called the FBI when they saw Berger do it — instead, they called Clinton's Mr. Fix-it, lawyer Bruce Lindsey."

I made this very point about possible culpability on the part of National Archives personnel in my post regarding this matter on my blog, hotelsierra.blogspot.com.

...leaving many to wonder if this is just a case of the federal government looking after one of its own.

There's still no news on Perp Berger's sentencing. It maybe time to call the judge...

Berger sentencing postponed til Sept.

And so American citizens continue to show an increasing level of distrust and contempt toward the federal government. Especially among conservatives, there is so little respect left for the institutions of government that one wonders why the government any longer even bothers with the lies and denials. Nobody really believes them anyway.

They have only themselves to blame. And I am talking about both parties here.
