Sandy Berger will plead guilty to taking classified documents from the National Archives, Fox News is reporting. Although he “inadvertently” took some papers, he “knowingly” crammed others down his pants. So he meant to steal only a few things. OK. Too bad it’s only a misdemeanor.
As I wrote back in July 2004, Samuel “Sandy” Berger Won’t Go To Jail…
Michelle Malkin has a great post.
Update (4/1): Power Line says Another Successful Cover-Up.
Scrappleface: “Ex-Clinton administration national security advisor Samuel ‘Sandy’ Berger entered a Virginia hospital today suffering from an “acute skin inflammation on his wrists” minutes after learning of the punishment he’ll face for smuggling top-secret documents out of the National Archives.”
More from Malkin.
There are documents still missing! Bunch of crooks.
Liberal blogger Kevin Drum on Sandy Berger: “Bizarre and inexplicable.”
Lorie Byrd: “When I first read of the Berger theft of documents I was amazed that such a thing could happen in a facility that is responsible for classified documents. Now I am amazed that a former NSA appears likely to get away with pilfering and destroying classified documents with a slap on the wrist.”
