James Comey is the assistant U.S. attorney that\u2019s handling this case. If that name doesn\u2019t ring a bell, let me tell you about James Comey. James Comey is the guy who targeted Martha Stewart. James Comey was the U.S. attorney in New York and Manhattan that brought that in — and they asked him, apparently. What\u2019s happened is that Berger and his lawyers in recent months have been seeking a deal, sort of a plea bargain. Go in and just talk about this and say, “Hey, it\u2019s no big deal. It was a simple mistake. I\u2019ve apologized. I\u2019ve fallen on the sword for Bill Clinton. What more do you want me to do?” and Comey says, “No, no. No deal. We\u2019re not talking deal, this investigation is going forward. You may be facing jail time.”<\/p>\n

Now, that\u2019s what Lanny Breuer, the attorney for “Sandy Pants” Berger, was told, and the reason is — this is not an “accident.” This is not a “mistake.” This is not “inadvertent,” and it is not “sloppy.” This was willful and purposeful: five trips in there, and a number of documents were taken, but all signs point to real Berger interest in that after-action report dealing with the millennium bomber — and it was written by Richard Clarke, and there\u2019s a tremendous amount of interest in this now, obviously so, and I think the only responsible thing to do, ladies and gentlemen, is to release this document. We have a right to know, the people! We need to know what the big focus of attention on the part of the Clinton administration for this particular document was. What\u2019s happened here, rather than a former national security advisor, sloppy and inadvertent — by the way, do you notice\u2019s Clinton\u2019s character?<\/p>\n


\n“Yeah, look at this guy\u2019s desk. I mean we couldn\u2019t find him half the time he was buried under all that paper.” What\u2019s Clinton saying? “He\u2019s so sloppy and he\u2019s so messy that he routinely stuffed things in his pockets just to clean out the desk, just to clean out…” That\u2019s probably what happened. What a reference! What a character reference. The simple fact of the matter here is that this was not sloppy and it was not inadvertent and it was not an accident. It was purposeful. This was zeroed in on. Somebody — I mean, I don\u2019t know how you conclude otherwise. This appears to have been a mission, not some accident, and that\u2019s what we need to find out why. What\u2019s in it? What\u2019s so interesting about this that it can\u2019t be seen? It hasn\u2019t been found. Burglar doesn\u2019t know where it is. It\u2019s probably nowhere to be found now. We may never know what\u2019s in it unless there is a copy of it.<\/p>\n

The New York Times ran something like 50 front-page stories with photos of the Abu Ghraib story; they bury the Sandy Berger story on page 17 yesterday. The New York Times story, I think today, guess what the nut of their story is today? This is so funny it\u2019s unbelievable. This may harm his chances to be secretary of state in the Kerry administration. I kid you not, folks, it may. So, using your point of comparing this side by side with Abu Ghraib, yeah, you\u2019re exactly right. We were told, “These people should have known better. This is unconscionable. The American people don\u2019t treat other people this way. Let\u2019s plaster their names all over the paper. Let\u2019s send them up for trial. Let\u2019s convict them. Let\u2019s put them in jail, show trials and all this.” This is far worse. This is somebody that far more access, responsibility, knowledge, and all that.<\/p>\n

But trust me on what I tell you about the words of the U.S. attorney that\u2019s looking into this, James Comey, they\u2019re refusing a deal. They\u2019re continuing to hold out this possibility of jail time and criminal charges. Now, you never know what the purpose of this is because we don\u2019t know all that\u2019s going on, but if this is not just spin and public posturing by the U.S. attorney, means and he said this “This is our life. Secrecy is our lifeblood here. If we compromise our secrecy, we are in deep doo-doo,” and you talk about setting an example? It was what we heard when Martha Stewart actually was sentenced. She was setting an example. An example was being set; same thing may look like it\u2019s happening here.<\/p>\n

Now, just a reminder here, folks, these documents that Berger took are said to include the drafts of this after-action review of the millennium plot written by Richard Clarke, and it is known that Clarke\u2019s after-action review identified glaring weaknesses in Clinton\u2019s anti-terror policies. And indicated that luck played a big role when the U.S. barely missed a major attack in 1999. So my suspicion, as I stated earlier and yesterday, is that one of the reasons this stuff has vanished is because it\u2019s embarrassing to the Clinton administration and Bill Clinton personally, who is in the midst of his ongoing, never-ending effort to rewrite his legacy and erase from the frontal lobes of as many Americans as possible the image of Monica Lewinsky. But since this administration keeps doing things below the waist in their pants it\u2019s just going to keep reason forcing the Lewinsky image and there\u2019s not going to be anything they can do about it.<\/p>\n
