Sandy Berger, the former Clinton national security advisor is back in the news. He is supposed to appear in federal court tomorrow to plead guilty to taking some classified materials from the national archives. Yahoo Article
He claims it was "an honest mistake". I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.
Some of these documents still haven't turned up. "The materials related to a 2000 report on how government reacted to the terror threat prior to the millennium celebrations."
I have two questions. First, what was in these documents? Second, why is Berger willing to take the fall for Clinton? They had to have contained something pretty important to get Berger to not only take the documents, but to remain quiet about their contents.
If convicted, Berger could face up to a year in prison and a fine of $100,000. I can't help but admire the loyalty he has for Clinton.
I realize, I'm just reading the talking points from the Republicans. In seriousness though, there is a lot that is fishy about this case, and if it's not that big of a deal, Berger should let us know. Until he comes clean, the Republicans are going to have another reason for going after Clinton.
That happens to be a favorite past-time of Republicans, and this one seems more well-founded than a lot of past criticisms. Berger is guilty, and he's going to catch much needed flack for it. Clinton then, is guilty by association, until people get bored of this story at least.
An honest mistake? Come on Berger. What's really up?

I've met Sandy Berger. He seemed like a fine fellow. But one never knows, does one?
I think he plead guilty today.
