Wall Street Journal reports that Sandy Berger has been cleared of all wrongdoing. Their site is subscription only, so the link to their story “Berger Cleared of Withholding Material From 9/11 Commission” will only work if you have a subscription.
So here’s a report instead from KYW NewsRadio:
President Clinton’s national security adviser, Sandy Berger — who’d been accused of stealing classified material from the National Archives — has been cleared of all wrongdoing.
The National Archives and the Justice Department have concluded nothing is missing and nothing in the Clinton administration’s record was withheld from the 9-11 Commission.
The Wall Street Journal reports archives staff have accounted for all classified documents Berger looked at.
Late last year they asked investigators to see if the former national security adviser removed materials during his visits.
Berger’s lawyers said his client had inadvertently removed several photocopies of reports, but later returned them.
Where does Mr. Berger go to get his reputation back? I’m sure apologies from Rush, Sean, O’Reilly, Scarborough, Matthews, Fox, CNN, MSNBC and Drudge etc. will be forthcoming. Not.
It ain’t over yet!
Yeh, sure , right Brad. Get a life. You and Sandi are made for each other
Sandy Berger ought to be getting his ass raped in a dark prison.
But, NO, apparently stealing and destroying documents from the National Archives is not a big deal… even if the documents are related to the war on terror and Berger was trying to manipulate the historical record to make the Clinton administration look better.
What’s worse than the lack of prison time and anal rape is the fact that they are not even taking away his security clearance! It’s only suspended for three years! What the fuck is the point of security clearance if you let people keep their security clearance when they are caught red-handed doing exactly what security clearances are supposed to prevent?
If he was found innocent why did he have to pay a $10,000 fine and a three-year revocation of his security clearance?
