Sandy Burglar Walks and Takes Classified Docs with Him
Once again, justice is blind when it comes to the criminal actions of Democrat cronies:
So let's sum up:
If you were a former National Security Advisor granted the extraordinary privilege of reviewing classified documents pertaining to a current investigation into how a catastrophic terrorist attack on the United States occurred, and you take classified documents (always clearly marked as such) from the archives hidden within your clothing, and these documents just happen to disappear forever, this is a misdemeanor offense worth only the temporary revocation of your privilege to see still more classified documents---just so long as your a Democratic Party bigwig.
I get it.
What I don't get is why Dubya doesn't can every idiot in the DOJ who doesn't understand that we are at war and what Berger did amounts to subversion of the American war effort.
We didn't convene the 9/11 commission to play petty political games, although the Democrats on the panel, Jamie Gorelick et al, certainly made that their primary focus.
The panel was created to find out what happened and prevent it from happening in the future.
This bogus plea bargain indicates there are many in our government who STILL do not understand the stakes here.
Berger and his lawyer, Lanny Breuer, have said Berger knowingly removed the handwritten notes by placing them in his jacket and pants and he inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio.
He returned most of the documents, but still missing are some drafts of a sensitive after-action report on the Clinton administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats during the December 1999 millennium celebration.
"Mr. Berger has cooperated fully with the Department of Justice and is pleased that a resolution appears very near," Breuer said Thursday.
The charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of a year in prison and up to a $100,000 fine.
However, a federal law enforcement official said a plea agreement calls for Berger to serve no jail time but to pay a $10,000 fine, surrender his security clearance for three years and cooperate with investigators. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the pending court proceeding. A judge must approve the agreement.
Security clearance allows access to classified government materials.
So let's sum up:
