Sandy Reaches the end of his Rope

WASHINGTON — The criminal probe into why former Bill Clinton aide Sandy Berger (search) illegally sneaked top-secret documents out of the National Archives (search) — possibly in his socks — has heated up and is now before a federal grand jury, The Post has learned.
[FOX News has confirmed the grand jury investigation.]
The "Socks Docs" probe forced Berger, who was President Clinton's national security adviser, to step down as Democrat John Kerry's top foreign-policy adviser last summer.
"It may have been off the front pages, but the investigation has been active," said a source with knowledge of the probe.
"[Berger] has been interviewed several times by federal agents — FBI and prosecutors."
Berger admits removing 40 to 50 top-secret documents from the archives, but claims it was an "honest mistake" made while he vetted documents for the 9/11 commission's probe into the Twin Towers attacks.
Berger has also acknowledged that he destroyed some documents — he says by accident.
It's unclear if he destroyed documents with handwritten notations that don't appear on other copies.
Some Republicans, such as House Speaker Dennis Hastert, have charged that Berger pilfered the documents because they were embarrassing to Clinton and Clinton aides such as Berger.

It wasn't an accident as Berger claims to steal 40-50 documents and then destroy some of them.
It's good this is heating up again. The grand jury has been meeting and we've been waiting....inpatiently.
Through his tear-filled eyes...
Your honor, it was just a mistake that I robbed those 50 minimarts and killed those employees.
If Burger gets away with this it will open up a whole new defence for criminals.
Didn't someone say that this would come up AFTER the election so it wouldn't distract people?
I hope Berger, the f***er goes to jail. He's a liar and a traitor working for traitors!
Hope the good guys are keeping a close watch on this Berger matter, because the usual bad guys are going to do whatever they can to bury this investigation and silence this story. In addition to theft of documents, there might also be the matter of added and/or altered documants. Hope investigators are covering all possibilities.
Offer him immunity if he incriminates Hilary.
Yea, he ACCIDENTALLY stuffed them down his shorts, ah, thinking that, ah, er, they were, am, pieces of toilet paper! Yea, that's it! Toilet paper! That government toilet paper is really tough and not very absorbent, ya know. Easy to get documents marked "TOP SECRET" confused with toilet paper.

Yeah, Sandy Burglar and Peter Paul and that other guy (Rosen?) Wouldn't it be great if they all sang like canaries and ratted out Her Heinous? I would love to see Hitlery in an orange jumpsuit and shackles!
No it won't, I tried the "depends on what your definition of 'is' is" defence and got the maximum sentance!!!!!
Why hasn't the junior senator from NY also indicted?!?!?!?!?
What? Did the scumbag, Berger, experience a sudden wind in the National Archives that made documents fly into his socks?
Or perhaps his socks are crafted out of Velcro with a nice coat of Elmer's Glue. Or something...
Old news, still not getting the media attention it warrants.
Heck, I'll send him $100 or maybe $1000 if he incriminates the Hilldabeast in a pants suit. I'd love to see her big butt in the slammer.
