| Clinton Adviser Probed for Taking Classified Terror Memos | |||
| 2004-07-20 | |||
| EFL: Sandy Berger, former President Clinton's national security adviser, is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department after highly classified terrorism documents disappeared while he was reviewing what should be turned over to the Sept. 11 commission. Berger's home and office were searched earlier this year by FBI agents armed with warrants after the former Clinton adviser voluntarily returned some sensitive documents to the National Archives and admitted he also removed handwritten notes he had made while reviewing the sensitive documents. However, 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 are still missing, officials and lawyers told The Associated Press.

| #18 Frank, what scum they are! Particularly considering that the papers Sandy Burglar stole probably show that Clintoon knew about OBL and maybe even the 9/11 attacks! What did Clinton know and when did he know it???? The American People wanna know!! |

| #15 did a post, but it got caught in server limbo: Drudge: CLINTON SAYS BERGER-DOCUMENTS FUROR IS JUST POLITICS: 'WE WERE ALL LAUGHING ABOUT IT' pretty much sez it all about the seriousness of the Clnton admin and Dems in general, doesn't it? |

| #11 I'm really going to be annoyed if all of this winds up with me having to look at a picture of Sandy Berger with his pants down. |

| #10 I'm finding all this to be just terribly traumatic. Reading about this lying, chubby-cheeked shitweasel stuffing documents into his socks to keep Slick Willie from looking bad, brings back hideous memories of when that gang of incompetent fuckheads was in charge of our country. Thank God they're not, anymore. |

| #9 he "inadvertently" put them in his SOCKS? JEEBUS! How do you explain that, Sandy? It all started with an innocent game of "sock puppet theater"... |

| #8 I'll tell you what......democrats are sorry motherfuckers. All of them are thieves and liars. Hmmm......that's just like another group of people I know of......FILTHY FUCKING muslims. |

| #7 Nail on the head, Chuck. BTW, How did Joe Wilson do on McNeal/Lehrer last night? When will Joe make the Sunday morning shows? When will Sandy? |

| #5 This is truly the only time that anyone has ever asked "What does Sandy Berger have in his pants?" |

| #4 Why Lindsey? Because it's common knowledge inside the Beltway that Lindsey is the guy you call regarding unfolding Clintonian scandals? |

| #3 Just what does Lindsey have to do with Berger's actions? You have to alert the consiglieri anytime your actions put the Godfather at risk. SOP for the Arkansas mafia. |

| #2 I have to wonder what the guy's motivation is for doing this. Common sense says that the Nat'l Archives probably releases copies instead of the originals, so there's no way he'd be able to swipe docs to cover up anything he did that would be revealed as less than flattering. Officials familiar with the investigation said Archive staff specially marked the documents and when the new copy and others disappeared, Archive officials called Clinton attorney Bruce Lindsey to raise concerns. Strange how they would be calling this guy. Just what does Lindsey have to do with Berger's actions? |

#1 More importantly, Berger appears to have taken multiple copies of the same document on multiple occasions:Breuer said the Archives staff first raised concerns with Berger during an Oct. 2 review of documents that at least one copy of the post-millennium report he had reviewed earlier was missing. Berger was given a second copy that day, Breuer said. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040720/ap_on_re_us/sept__11_berger_probe |
