For this transgression he was basically given nothing more than a slap on the wrist after pleading guilty. Rest assured any normal citizen convicted of the same crime would be doing many years in prison for theft of top secret government property.
However, this episode is now being revisited and reported again and at least will forever label this man as the partisan hack thief and Slick Willie legacy rewriter & protector that he is.
Inspector General Says Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger Hid Classified Docs
Fox News, WASHINGTON — President Clinton's national security adviser removed classified documents from the National Archives, hid them under a construction trailer and later tried to find the trash collector to retrieve them, the agency's internal watchdog said Wednesday. The report was issued more than a year after Sandy Berger pleaded guilty and received a criminal sentence for removing the documents.
Berger took the documents in the fall of 2003 while working to prepare himself and Clinton administration witnesses for testimony to the Sept. 11 commission. Berger was authorized as the Clinton administration's representative to make sure the commission got the correct classified materials.
Berger's lawyer, Lanny Breuer, said in a statement that the contents of all the documents exist today and were made available to the commission.
But Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., outgoing chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, said he's not convinced that the Archives can account for all the documents taken by Berger. read more about the loser burglar here
