Re how Burglar avoided jail, we would need to know the relevant statutes and the strength of the government's case vis a vis those statutes. We would also need to know what discretion, if any, the judge had re sentencing under the plea deal and guilty plea. Absent those detailed specifics, we don't have enough info to evaluate the outcome. We want him in jail for a very long stretch, but do the applicable statutes permit such a sentence vis the specifics of this case?
We will probably never know what you said we need to know...
It is amazing to me that the CIA and the State Dept and the Pentagon think nothing of leaking to hurt Pres. Bush...but we will never get leaks that would help us understand all of the corruptness that surrounds the Clintoons.
Hi, Wolfstar. I vaguely remember that the judge gave Berger a harsher sentence than DOJ asked for. And since the sentence Berger got was basically a slap on the wrist, then DOJ didn't ask for much of a sentence.
He was caught red handed. The archive folks had him on tape for at least one of the instances that he stole documents. There were four separate instances, iirc.
The whole thing is fishy.
