Two years after agreeing to a polygraph in a plea deal, former National Security adviser Sandy Berger still has not taken the test, prompting 23 Republican Congress members to demand action by the Department of Justice.
The aim is to determine "what documents were stolen and how our national security was compromised," said the letter by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., to the acting attorney general.
Berger – who was placed on probation, fined $50,000 and stripped of his security clearance for three years after admitting he took classified documents from the National Archives – reportedly is advising Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, but the New York Democrat insists he has no official capacity.
The documents have never been recovered, Rohrabacher points out in the letter.
**SNIP**
In 2005, the former Clinton aide agreed, as part of the plea deal, to have the Department of Justice administer a polygraph test, but Rohrabacher notes "two years have passed and he has yet to fulfill his legal obligation."
As WND reported in March, the White House said it was studying whether Berger would take the polygraph test.

Unbelievable incompetency.
Like most socialist democrats his IQ is below room temperature. Stuffing classified documents into his trousers shows a lot of class on his part.
Hillary would name him her National Security Advisor. Janet's getting fitted with a straitjacket to resume her old position as attorney general.
Dr. Elders, answer the phone. President Clinton is on the line.
“the White House said it was studying whether Berger would take the polygraph test”...wth does the WH have to study, wasn’t the polygraph part of his punishment...put the perp in jail until he finishes his sentence!
the fix is (for reasons unknown) in
This should have been done back when the GOP controlled congress
Just another example of the wimpedout GOP
Only 23? --- Houston! We have a problem.
They should have delayed the letter until the new AG takes over.
I believe you need to substitute socialist democrats for compassionate conservatives since they allow dems to run wild and protect some BS "honor code" of past administration officials.
Then don’t believe in incompetency. Believe the truth.
This was an unexplicable error by Her Heinous in an otherwise tightly-controlled campaign. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye.
And it makes one wonder why the administration is apparently participating in this ongoing cover-up because it's obvious there IS one.

CRIMINAL incompetency.
I emailed Rush 24/7 about this.
Last year, Berger plea bargained a criminal sentence on the charge of unlawfully removing and retaining classified documents. A judge gave him no prison time, a $50,000 fine, 100 hours of community service and a ban from access to classified material for three years.
Does anyone recall whether he pleaded nolo contrendre, or guilty to a misdemeanor, or to a felony, or .... what?
The class of the charge would of course be relevant to his ability to obtain clearance in the future.
Although under the relentlessly vigilant Gonzales DoJ it's likely he was convicted of nothing.
Unimportant. Scooter Libby’s “crimes” were far more horrific. Just ask Alan Colmes. And, getting Rush Limbaugh is a far more noble deed to be performed on the House floor.../s
He will never take a polygraph test. Hillary will protesct him, because he knows to much.
