I love the way the WaPo buried Berger’s latest antics
"Former Clinton Aide Violated Probation
Berger Ticketed for Reckless Driving"
Uh, didn’t this guy Sandy Berger used to be the NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR for the President of the United States, Bill Clinton. Well yes, he was.
The "...Former Clinton Aide..." was not quite an “aide” as the Post headline says. An aide is an assistant. The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR is definitely not an aide.
You don’t suppose the Post and its left wing editors wanted to help minimize this story do you? On the Post Web Page, this article is listed simply with the title, "Former Clinton Aide Violated Probation."
Yes, Berger, the guy who stuffed classified documents down his pants after perusing them in the Library of Congress, something which if you or I had done, would land us in jail. He got a fine probation, and the loss of his clearance.
“On Sept. 8, Berger was ordered to pay a $50,000 fine and surrender his security clearance for three years after pleading guilty to unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents. He paid the fine Sept. 9, court records show.
Berger, who served as national security adviser to President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, admitted to stuffing copies of documents in his coat jacket as he left the National Archives in 2003 while preparing for questions from the Sept. 11 commission. He also admitted destroying some of the records at his office and lying about possessing them.
Officials with the Sept. 11 commission and the Archives have said that nothing was lost because the documents were logged and there were copies of all of them.”
