Didn’t Berger paid a $50k fine? Plus penalty?
What is this one crime justifies another crime mentality? Blago got 14 years, McDonnell only got 2 years???? Didn’t Nixon also get a pardon?
I know, it is always different. Always……
Why isn’t Leon Panetta in the dock for leaking classified information to his publisher? http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/panetta-clashed-with-cia-over-memoir-tested-agency-review-process/2014/10/21/6e6a733a-5926-11e4-b812-38518ae74c67_story.html
When it was Clinton these same Democrats said it was “only about sex.” Remember, he had Monica “servicing” him when he was on a classified phone call as well.
Sandy Berger was a highly placed operative of the Democratic Party, and a long time friend of the Clintons.
Sandy Berger was allowed to please guilty to a misdemeanor when he stole and destroyed classified documents from the National Archives.
Will the general be offered the same sort of deal?
Maybe the FBI should investigate itself as to why agents are engaging in this type of outrageous behavior.
What about the FBI agent who sent lewd photographs of himself to Jill Kelley in the course of this investigation and had to be removed. Will he be charged? http://gawker.com/5960001/an-fbi-agent-sent-shirtless-photos-of-himself-to-jill-kelley-and-other-ridiculous-new-details-about-the-patraeus-investigation
