.....leading one to conclude, Berger took a lot more than has been revealed, a lot more than even the Archives knew about.

And I wonder about anything he might have put back....

Justice Department just may be an oxy-moron..

Sandy Burglar is getting away with slimy, stinkin,

show some spine in the Senate ..and dish Hillary when
she votes against qualified Judges...See Schumer today?
I swear..between the Senators here in California and
New York...the country is going to hell in a hand basket.

It appears as if you want us to believe that you're an expert on "rotten bastards". Are you projecting? Are you a victim of misinformation? Or maybe you just lack discernment.

I can only help if it's a misinformation problem:

It all depends on the meaning of "promise".

"Congress May Launch Sandy Berger Probe"

I hope they aim it at the appropriate point of his anatomy, and provide sufficient follow-through to achieve a righteous objective.

[Liz]

And I wonder about anything he might have put back.....Forgeries come to mind.

[Fast1]

Just a bunch of chest beating nothing will come of it!

[Liz]

The Clinton Legacy ---- the gift that keeps on giving.

[Skeeve14]

At least say the "top secret" papers were library books so he at least be charged with something harsh.

[wagglebee]

The Clinton Legacy ---- the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm hoping that within ten or twenty years the Bent One will have a sexually transmitted disease named after him, that would be the "crowning achievement" to the Klintoon legacy.

Those documents, emphatically, without doubt - I reviewed them myself - don't have notations on them," prosecutor Noel Hillman told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

um....does Hillman have security to see those documents ?

[Czar]

"Can't you just see an investigation starring Snowe, Collins, McCain, Specter, Hagel and Graham?"

Yes, the "Dream Team".

[NHResident]

The WSJ's editorial defense of Berger for two days running was an absolute insult to the intelligence of anyone with basic logic skills. It takes absolutely incredible leaps of faith that one has to undertake to give ANY creditability to the investigation as reported. After reading the WSJ editorial comments on the second day, I felt embarrassed for whomever at the WSJ wrote it. The whole Berger story just demonstrates the contempt with which Washington and the MSM hold the rest of the country.

[Liz]

Heheh.....something to look forward to.

[inquest]

If the Senate is put in charge of this investigation you can kiss it goodbye. It absolutely needs to be the H.R. if it's to even get off the ground.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I have a feeling that any Congressional investigations will run into some major "roadblocks" in the way of less than cooperative participation from the Justice Department.

Agreed. Remember what branch of the government runs the JD. For reasons I cannot fathom, Bush has soft peddled any action on obvious law breaking by Bill, Hillary and their operatives.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Hey, come on, now, they (Congress) have more important things to do right now. Like investigate steroids in baseball.

I'm smacking myself upside my own head.

How could I forget that Congress will stand for nothing important???

HAS SANDY BERGER BEEN CLEARED?

Congressional Republicans must think we're a bunch of fools out here.

I finally found what I've been looking for the past few days.

At post #10 on the above thread of 30 Jul 04, I posted the following which I had taken from my critter's Chairmanship website (it has since been removed the Reform Committee website and, of course, Rep Tom Davis (R-VA) never held the hearings):

Davis to Investigate Berger Allegations

Washington, Jul 21 -

House Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis (R-VA) announced today that the Committee intends to investigate allegations that former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, in preparation for 9-11 Commission hearings, took highly sensitive terrorism documents from a secure reading room at the National Archives.

The Government Reform Committee, which has jurisdiction over the National Archives, is the primary investigative committee in the House of Representatives.

“These allegations are deeply troubling, and it’s our constitutional responsibility to find out what happened and why,” Davis said. “It boggles the mind to imagine how a former national security advisor walked off with this kind of material in his pants, or wherever on his body he carried it. At best, we’re looking at tremendously irresponsible handling of highly classified information – some of which, I understand, has not yet been located.

“At worst, his actions suggest an intentional effort to keep critical information away from the Commission and the American public. We are now left wondering whether the Commission, set to release its report tomorrow, had access to all of the information it needed to fully do its job. The American people’s faith in our review of 9-11, in our war on terror, in our transparency, is literally at stake in this investigation. It is my hope that Mr. Berger cooperates fully with the Justice Department as its investigation proceeds. Meanwhile, as we continue to afford him the presumption of innocence he deserves, we will fulfill our duty to the American people to get to the bottom of this disturbing breach of trust and protocol.”

Carl Limbacher needs to give RINO Tom Davis a call.

[Brian Allen]

I stand by what I wrote and will not follow your descent into the ad hominem.

Mr Delay will be hoist by his own petard.

I will not cheer his demise.

But we will both soon witness it.

[As you appear to have forgotten -- as has Mr Delay -- we Republicans are held to a way higher standard than are them dems]
