One morning at the nub end of Bill Clinton's presidency, Clinton chief of staff John Podesta walked into a senior staff meeting in the Roosevelt Room waving a copy of USA Today. Holding the paper aloft, Podesta read the headline out loud, "Clinton actions annoy Bush." The article detailed the new rules and Executive Orders the outgoing President was issuing in his final days, actions aimed in equal measure at locking in Clinton's legacy (in areas like environmental protection) and bedeviling his successor. "What's Bush so annoyed about?" Podesta asked with a devilish smile. "He's got four years to try to undo all the stuff we've done."
Six years, wars, catastrophic events, devious power-hungry politicians and treasonous media have impeded efforts to 'undo all the stuff they've done'.
Sorry. No sale.
This Berger fiasco and the corrupt actions of the Bush Justice Department could not possibly have been overlooked by Bush or by his people in charge. This was not "burrowed in" corruption - - this was on a giant marquee. In fact, it still is.
And I am still waiting for Bush and company to DO SOMETHING about Berger.
Please ping me if that ever happens.
