I will never understand why Sandy Burglar wasn't waterboarded, much less hooked to a lie detector. It's just an example of the Washington power structure of both parties protecting their own.
More and more politics looks like pro wrestling. Lots of posturing and shouting in the ring, but the hits are fake and they all go back to the same locker room together after the "fight".

"..We had more questions for him, says one GOP aide. But Republicans are now in the minority, and there is no chance that Democratic chairman Henry Waxman will pursue the matter. For its part, the Justice Department, wracked by internal scandals, has shown no interest in further investigation. So now, with his decision to give up his law license, Berger has apparently shut off the last chance for anyone to learn more about the case..."

The reason is NOEL HILLMAN. He is the SOB who prosecuted David Rosen instead of Hillary and Andrew Grossman for her finance fraud. He had all the evidence. Hillman was reward with a judgeship. The Clintons and Bushes have mutually assured destruction against each other. The Bush justice department will never do anything to the Clintons.

Well, so what? I mean, who hasn’t illegally stolen embarrassing, classified documents in his pants and socks and left them under a trailer dead drop?

It's insane to think that a former high-ranking official can confiscate and destroy highly sensitive national security documents like this and only suffer a petty fine, at worst. The rest of us would be sitting in a cold, dark dungeon for such a heinous crime as this.
There's no interest, not even a mild curiousity, to seek the truth about Berger's motives from people who are supposed to take these matters very seriously into prosecuting this brazen theft and destruction of information.

Not so fast. It was this corrupt Bush admiistration that let him off. This corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" screwed us. Plenty of blame to go around. ( Do you know it was this administration that pushed for a lenient sentence) Bush has sold every TRUE conservative out.

If Berger should be shot for treason, what should happen to the people in the Jusitce Department and the White House who protected him?

Exactly.. Torture?.. Truth serum?.. severe b!tch slapping?..

"...what should happen to the people in the Jusitce Department and the White House who protected him?" Here's Berger's Response:
"Three years ago, I pleaded guilty and accepted the penalties sought by the Department of Justice. "I recognized then that my law license would be affected, and I have decided to voluntarily relinquish my license. While I derived great satisfaction from years of practicing law, I have not done so for 15 years and do not envision returning to the profession. I am very sorry for what I did, and deeply apologize."
So that's good enough for everybody else, too. Berger holds all the cards. Since he never intends to work as a lawyer again, he's exempted from having to account for himself. We're supposed to accept this apology and forget about it.
Nobody's curious as to wether he'd already considered the consequences ahead of time when he decide to steal and destroyed these documents. Nobody cares exactly why he stole and destroyed them. Nobody cares why he'd risk it in the first place.
Except us.

And remember, this clown was Clinton’s right hand man.
