A 'Bergler" Steals Clinton's Credibility
TownHall.com ^ | 10/13/07 | By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Posted on 10/13/2007 1:13:34 AM PDT by JohnHuang2

When Bill and Hillary Clinton did their online "Sopranos" spoof after the HBO show's finale, they may have been trying to tell us something more than we realized. The Clintons, sans the New Jersey accent, subtly yet unmistakably were announcing: "We and our posse are back. Burglars and all."

In fairness to the Clintons, Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger is just one burglar, but when we're talking about national-security information, a single thief is all you need to question a candidate's credibility. That the Hillary Clinton campaign would even take Berger's phone calls, never mind hold him close as an adviser, is an outrage. Moreover, it's a bright-red, screeching siren signaling a huge judgment problem on Sen. Clinton's part.

Berger, you may recall, was Bill Clinton's national security adviser. Now Hillary Clinton is trying to sock it to you by employing him as her campaign foreign-policy adviser, treating Berger like a respectable foreign-policy expert -- exactly what he ceased to be when he was a common criminal heisting classified documents from the National Archives in 2003.

While preparing the former President Clinton for his 9/11 Commission testimony (as well as preparing his own), Berger stole top-secret national-defense documents from the National Archives, stuffing them in a briefcase and in his clothing.

There are several theories about what Slick wanted out and put into the archives. I happen to think it was related to TWA-800.

You may be correct on the specific documents, I think he was sent to pull all documents that had HRC or any mention that Hillry was in charge. It just would not look presidential to have her fingerprints exposed by her hand picked Soviet style 911 Commission.

The stolen, and ignored, FBI files were probably force multipliers
that let the Clintons also control the IRS, CIA, and State
Dept. even into the present administration.

There is one lone Congressman pushing for Sandy Burglar to take the lie detector test; he’ll be on Fox & Friends Monday morning. By the way, the Friends seem to be the only Fox program covering this story.

“The people who support the Klintoons are blind to their corruption.”

I asked a friend one time why she was voting for an obvious crook. She said, “Politicians are all crooks, and he’s the smartest crook we’ve got.”

Some voters may think the Clintons are the smartest crooks we’ve got.

If you look up RICO in a law dictionary, you’ll find a picture of the Klintons.

I think the National Archives should be able to tell you exactly what he took out of the files

They know.

How can you steal what was never there in the first place?

I cannot tell you how many times I heard the same, “Hey, they’re all crooks” during impeachment as a reason for not caring. That he’s the smartest crook so that’s okay is a new one. And just as disgusting.

>Yet the craziest thing is that he was let off by Bush’s administration and those who gave him a slap on the wrist were promoted by Bush.<

It is things like this that show me there is no difference whatsoever between the top Republicans and top Democrats.

perhaps Mrs. Clinton is holding Berger close as a “thank you”: Thanks for making sure that some hard-hitting internal analysis of the Clinton administration’s poor counterterrorism performance won’t become breaking news on the way back to the White House.

Or maybe Berger simply knows too much of the kind of information that could hurt an aspiring Clinton running on executive experience.

If Berger's top-secret rampage isn't corrupt, I don't know what corrupt is.

“If Berger’s top-secret rampage isn’t corrupt, I don’t know what corrupt is.”

No crimes committed by the Clintonistas to protect the unholy duo, Bill and Hill are corrupt in the eyes of the rats who grovel at the feet of Bill and Hill.
