I love the first & last paragraph of this article!
I love the first & last paragraph of this article! It 100% relates to the Trump Case! The major difference is we know how this type of investigations turns out for Democrats. Sandy Berger was given a lax punishment and Clinton was let off.
Another Washington Post article said that Berger “constantly lost track of papers or appointments without subordinates to keep him organized and on schedule.’For all those who know and love him, it's easy to see how this could happen’”. so not only was he a lire and a thief but he was also late and incompetent. Hope he looked in his socks and pants every time he lost something.
We have a two tier justice system, those for the wealthy Democrats that are protected by the media and their friends and the rest of us. Berger’s attorney and the Democratic Party at the time said Berger committed this felony “inadvertently”. Can we say that same about Trump? Would they say that about you? Employees at the National Archives told the post that they witnessed Berger stuffing documents into his clothing
Will Democrats remain consistent on anything? I will! Sandy Berger, Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump should not have classified documents outside of their proper location. An investigation should be held, they should be considered innocent until proven guilty and there should be consequences according to the law. It’s difficult for me to understand how Hillary got off, for something any other person would have faced “sanctions” on.
Direct Quotes:
Keep the focus where it belongs. Did Sandy Berger violate the rules regarding the protection of classified information entrusted to him, and if he did, will he be held accountable for his actions?
Sandy Berger is a prominent figure among the nation's foreign policy elite. He has friends everywhere, especially where it counts: on Capitol Hill and in the Democratic administration-in-exile holed up in D.C. think tanks and on K Street.
Immediately following disclosure about him and the missing National Archives documents, Bill Clinton and John Kerry put in a good word for their friend. And it wasn't for nothing that Berger received this sympathetic characterization in a Post story on Wednesday: "At the same time," wrote our reporter, "[Berger] was known as someone who would constantly lose track of papers or appointments without subordinates to keep him organized and on schedule. 'For all those who know and love him, it's easy to see how this could happen,' one former Clinton colleague said."
But I do know that there are men and women in service to our nation who have paid a dear price for their mishandling of classified materials. They, too, were presumably known and loved by others. Nonetheless, their failure to properly safeguard sensitive information landed them in trouble with their government. Should Sandy Berger, because he is connected, be given a pass for taking classified materials out of the National Archives without permission?
In 2000, during the Clinton administration, Ambassador Martin S. Indyk's security clearance was suspended for suspected violations of State Department security standards. In that same year, according to State Department spokesman Richard Boucher, the clearances of five other State employees were suspended for violations of security policies. And in the previous two years, 27 other State Department workers had their security clearances suspended for other reasons.
Given that Berger walked out of the National Archives with classified material and 40 to 50 pages of notes he had taken, and that he failed to show these papers to archives officials for review before leaving, as he should have, can he be still trusted with classified material?
Berger's attorney says his client's actions were "inadvertent."
Sources who tell The Post that archives officials witnessed Berger stuffing papers in his clothing may be of the view that the former national security adviser's mind was focused wonderfully on what he was doing. Sandy Berger denies walking off with classified stuff in his pants. But getting to the truth is, in fact, what this is all about.
