I’ll never understand why the border patrol guys were persecuted the way they were over some minor admin stuff.

What documents was he trying to remove? Why?

Here is as decent a link to the backstory as you are likely to find but you will find out lots more information here in the archives of FR. http://www.nysun.com/national/how-an-ex-aide-to-president-clinton-stashed/45551/ The key passage in this says “All five documents Mr. Berger removed were versions of an after-action report about the foiled millennium plot to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport and other sites. The internal review, by a top counterterrorism official, Richard Clarke, reportedly found that luck was the major factor in disrupting the plot and that more attacks were likely.

Here is how I would summarize this sordid affair. It was during the 9/11 Commission hearings and questions were coming up as to what all went down during the Clinton administration and what they should have seen coming that would have clearly indicated that 9/11 was in the making. Apparently, the documents that Berger stole were all earlier drafts of the final document of the after-action report involving the plot to bomb the LA Airport (or was it the Space Needle tower in Seattle?) and the reason these drafts were so important to Clinton (and possibly others in his administration) was because the drafts had handwritten notes in the margin and showed who changed what wording as they worked their way to the final document form. By going back through the drafts, it could be figured out who downplayed what information, who ignored what, who misinterpreted what and who essentially made what decisions. Clearly, Clinton never wanted these documents to ever see the light of day and so Berger was dispatched to steal them.

It was quite clear that Clinton was behind it all. I saw an interview of Clinton about this time where he was asked about Berger and he had the gall to say something to the effect of "Yeah, I heard about what Sandy did. All of us who knew Sandy were laughing when we heard that he mixed these documents up with some of his own papers. It was so typical and none of us were surprised. You should have seen the mess that he kept his desk in at the White House." So there you have it.

When it comes to having my own theory, conspiratorial or not, I say Thanks, dont mind if I do..


Amen.

The real conspiracy theorists invented the propaganda that is being used to manipulate the masses. Most had roots in the Soviet Union and the Communists. Today they call themselves the MSM. Edward Bernays invented the concept. Global society has paid for it ever since. It represents what happens when millions of naive people are being led to the cliff by a few who benefit.

Either be very cynical of it all and challenge the motives of all politicians, or pay the ultimate price and face destruction of the USA and our societal stability.

Finally some good news today, esp. about anyone connected to the Clinton crooks and traitors.

What did he really die of, I ask facetiously? The Vince Foster Flu? The Benghazi Bug? The National Archives document recovery hit squad? (Actually the documents recovery team is a vey professional group of people who protect our national documents. Among the best in government that I know of).

If you ever wanted to see how the “fix” was “in” for Clinton personnel, it was the minimal sentence that Sandy Burgler got. He should have been sentenced to at least 5 years in the federal pen for the thief of govt documents, plus another 5-10 for the destruction of govt classified documents, plus more time for perjury, etc.

The Dems of today are the most corrupt politicians in American history, and if there were true justice, we would need to build 100 new prisons just to hold the Clinton/Obama crooks, commies, crazies, and cronies.

Growing up, my beloved parents told me if I can’t say anything nice about someone, then don’t say anything at all. ‘nuff said.

It wasn’t during Clinton’s impeachment trial... unless he did it twice. It was during the 9/11 commission hearings.

One less witness. Comey was investigating Berger too before taking the hillary email job.

It’s a club and most Americans aren’t in it. Our inability to hold elites truly accountable for crimes and corruption has become a serious character flaw of leadership. Neither Party is immune. It seems they see themselves as being made vulnerable when any one of them face the music. They need to believe it makes our country better.

He was a lousy National Security Advisor and a hack lawyer. The pant stuffing act was so low that it is a reflection on the late man himself. Question is, what was he afraid of?
