How did Sandy Berger get off so easily for stealing and forging documents from the National Archives?

Question

Am i crazy or was his sentence a little light? I've seen traffic tickets stiffer than this.

Answer 1

Sandy Burlar has confessed to theft of top secret documents from the U.S. National Archives which he then hid under a temporary construction trailer! This is strong evidence of his knowledge of wrong-doing, not an accidental or “clumsy” handling of top secret documents. The documents which he stole, then modified the documents and finally attempted to replace them into the database of our National Archives are related to W. J. Clinton’s handling of the terrorism threat during his administration (prior to 2000). Burglar’s punishment (increased from a measly $10k fine to $50k by an appellate judge) is barely a slap on the wrist and mocks our principle of equal treatment (not favorable treatment) under the law. But then again, there are still people in jail for perjuring themselves in a court of law, at the same time, WJC who perjured himself to a federal grand jury (and was subsequently disbarred in his home state from practicing law), is still walking around a free man. How many people do you think are in prison for mishandling (stealing) top secret documents? Let’s at least release from prison all of the perjurers and those convicted of stealing top secret documents so that we can pretend our judicial system is “blind” (doesn’t show favoritism) and not for sale!

This is an incredibly blatant, but clumsy attempt to rewrite history and presumably hide information, heretofore unknown to the public. WJC is clearly very sensitive about his legacy as president, particularly his failure to act in any of numerous opportunities to take out Osama Bin Ladin, even after he was clearly implicated in the U.S. embassy bombings in Africa.

There will be an increasing loud public outcry to expose those protected ‘secret’ Clinton library documents to find out what Clinton doesn’t want the public to know about the state of terrorism during his administration.

Answer 2

Sandy Berger is a Jew. Inconvenient laws and rules don't apply to Jews. If it had not been necessary to make a public exhibition of Mr. Berger receiving some sort of punishment, he wouldn't even have been penalized to this extent. It's not merely the fact that Sandy Berger had been a political big-shot, so big that his power (as a big-shot in the ordinary sense) could shield him from the consequences of his misdeeds. No. His being a Jew is what let him get off so easily.

It happens all the time, in all walks of life: a Jew misbehaves and by some miracle gets caught misbehaving. By another miracle, someone is interested in holding the Jew accountable. Then a circus starts, with lots of smoke and mirrors, and, in the end, the Jew either gets away scot-free, or he gets a slap on the wrist, and there's the chance that things will get completely turned around with the Jew ending up with "victim status."

If you want to see the same process on a much lower political level, research the controversy between Jaclyn Steele, a Jewish cheerleader, and her coach, Marilou Braswell, which occurred at the University of Georgia in 2004.

Answer 3

You're right, the Bush administration did not conceal anything about the warnings it received prior to 9-11.

And it's so important to keep one's sense of perspective.

Berger's $50,000 fine, $7,000 court costs and 2 years probation for taking papers the Archives had copies of is a slap on the wrist compared to the average fine for littering.

Rush summed it up best when he said the Sandy Berger incident is far worse" than Abu Ghraib"

Answer 4

He's the former National Security Advisor. That's the first reason. The second reason is because the Bush Administration may have had the Justice Department back off, not wanting to start up an internal battle between the political parties. Neither reason is a good one though. Watch for it to come up again if Hillary Clinton becomes a major part of the 2008 presidential bid.

Answer 5

ok First of all. Sandy Berger is a man...he worked for the Clinton administration, so I doubt Hilary will want it to come up. And yes His sentence was light. I do not understand why. He was protecting the Clinton's when he stole the files, soooo I don't know.
