Still no polygraph as agreed in plea deal, 'national security' at issue

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.
The rest of them are channeling Paul Wellstone.
Yes, and the DOJ is too busy prosecuting Border patrolmen to do anything about good ol’ Sandy.
For what it’s worth, Fox & Friends will be covering this story tomorrow. They seem to be the only ones mentioning it.
Sandy Bergler in re polygraph test
A) Will never take test
B) Results will absolve him
C) Results will be declared ambiguous
D) Resuts will implicate GWB in document theft
(The only polygraph question: “Do you FEEL you did anything wrong?)
John Gibson has been relentless on this.
“unbelievable incompetency.”
should read: “unbelievable treachery”, compliments of the democrat party.
I never get to see his show...good news, indeed.
I never get to see his show...good news, indeed.
He has a countdown for every day Berglar fails to take the test.
You silly damned sheep....
The Clintonoids are NOT subject to YOUR laws, nor are they required to keep commitments to YOU people, nor obey their oath of office...
Dumb asses - never learn...
Thus you are doomed to another 8 years of these criminals and traitorous bastards in office....
Kiss your children good night, and try to explain how you voted their birthright away and enslaved them.
"Moanica, as you were-----under the desk."
Let me rephrase that in case Sandy didn't understand it:
"As a tolerant and compassionate Democrat, who did it 'for the children and to advance peace in the Mideast' you don't really feel you did anything wrong, do you?"
Last time I looked, the Democratic Party did not have hiring and firing authority at the Justice Department. Wake up. This is a Bush problem, not a Democratic problem.
“wake up! this is a bush problem, not a democratic problem.”
no it’s not and yes it is. something else is in operation here besides bureaucratic rules about hiring and firing.
Looks that way.
He should be drawn and Quartered.
Get real.
After the deal the Bush Justice Department cut with Berger, do you honestly think they are concerned with justice being served?
I don’t know why, but Justice knowingly allowed Berger to skate.
Way to go, President Bush. Nice job.
BTTT!
What the story fails to mention is that this slap on the wrist is what the corrupt-to-the-core Bush Justice Department recommended - - except that the corrupt-to-the-core Bush Justice Department only wanted a $10,000 fine. This recommendation embarrassed even the Democrat judge, Deborah Robinson, so she jacked the fine up to $50,000.
Man, January 2009 can't come fast enough.
“something else is in operation here besides bureaucratic rules about hiring and firing”
That’s sure true. What is going on here is that the Clintons and the Bushes are by all appearances members/puppets of the same crime family.
Nope just business as usual, this is the President's doing. He has been protecting the Clinton's since day one. But it is OK, after all he is a Republican. This forum was created out of the Clinton scandal, sadly we also helped put GW in office. \He has been a major disappointment to me, on several fromns, for sure, and yes I voted for him twice.
Now, Hillary Clinton proposes to give him that chance. For when she gets the democrat nomination for President she will get daily intelligence briefings on everything the White House is dealing with in foriegn matters and Sandy Berger will be helping her analize that intel.
Whether Mrs. Clinton changes her mind about this appointment or not, the fact that she thumbed her nose at America by making this dicision in the first place should be all the American voters need to know about the character of this woman who is attempting to gain the highest office in the land and possibly become the most powerful politician in the world.
I (for one) think this should be a primary issue of the '08 race and for the (R) presidential candidates to ignore it is a big disappointment to me.
I am praying for a man of strength to step up ...:-(
You and me both Brother!!!
