#1 He was aware of the risk he was taking, the inspector generals notes said.

In legal terms, that shows Mens Rea, the "guilty mind". He knew he was breaking the law.

The bastard should have been publicly fried.

But that won't happen. His 3 years of no-access will be up just in time for him to be Hilly's NatSecAdv.

Crooks and shysters, the whole bunch.

#2 I want to know who gave him this sweet deal during a time of war? We might need to look up their skirt so to speak.

I know one thing our government is no longer to be trusted when treason like this gets this treatment.

#3 He headed toward a construction area. . . . Mr. Berger looked up and down the street, up into the windows of the Archives and the DOJ (Department of Justice), and did not see anyone, the interview notes said.

He then slid the documents under a construction trailer, according to the inspector general. Berger acknowledged that he later retrieved the documents from the construction area and returned with them to his office.

This is straight out of a cold war thriller: He was loading a dead drop. Find out who came to collect the goodies and you find out who paid Sandy's bills. My guesses: (1)Washington Post reporter; (2) Sandy's FSB case officer; (3)Sandy's Saudi controller. This guy should be in the same prison with Jonathan Pollard and the Walker spy gang; instead, he'll write his memoirs and be a hero to the left.

#4 Call me a right-wing paranoid its been done before! but I think that, if Sandy Berger were a conservative Republican...

Just think if he was an Asian during a Clinton witch hunt during Sandy's tenure as a White House official, and being held without bail in solitary confinement for 278 days. Helps being white liberal privileged male with connections and friends in the Washington establishment doesn't it?

#5 It should come as no surprise that the liberal elements of the media are reluctant to scorch one of their own. But Bergers light sentence transcends ideology or party affiliation. (And BTW Elmolurt Hupush8011, being a white male has even less impact on the situation.) Chock this one up as another Vapor Scandal for a virtually untouchable elite with enough inside baseball to start his own league.
