Flashback - Sandy Berger

Remember when Sandy was seen sneaking classified papers out during the 9/11 commission, when all was denied or trivialized, when the NY Post again investigated it in January (mentioned here). Well Sandy plead guilty today.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former national security adviser Sandy Berger will plead guilty to taking classified material from the National Archives, a misdemeanor, the Justice Department said Thursday.

Berger is expected to appear in federal court in Washington on Friday, said Justice spokesman Bryan Sierra.

The charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of a year in prison and up to a $100,000 fine.

The former Clinton administration official previously acknowledged he removed from the National Archives copies of documents about the government's anti-terror efforts and notes that he took on those documents.

Now for the major question -- WHY or WHAT was he wanting to hide? Of course, since it does not involve a gotcha for the Bush administration I am sure the question will not be asked by the MSM -- Democrats are constantly allowed "honest mistakes" which was Sandy's reason excuse.
