Hmmm... why no cry from the left

[Superfreak]

Why no outcry from the left on this? Or does the mantra of "we have a right to know exactly what happened" only apply when someone on the right does something wrong.

Why would Berger give up his license without a fight if there was nothing of importance to hide?

I'm on record previously, saying that Burger is an asshole, and should be punished to the full extent that the law allows.

I am against all corrupt politicos of all parties. If he is proven guilty he should be punished severly not given a wrist slap.

[Superfreak]

But what is he hiding? As the article suggests, there is no way a lawyer gives up his license that easily unless the info he has can not see the light of day. Which is all the more reason we should find out what he destroyed. Yet, no calls from the left to get the info? But if Bush (in)appropriately fires 8 political appointees... my GOD... we must know every last detail....

Why Cypress?

This is such total bullpucky! We had a guy spend time in Leavenworth for unintentionally mishandling classified material. He left it unlocked in a room that people with clearances, but not clearances for that material, had access to. Seriously, he was convicted and spent some serious time for this. This guy walks away from a coverup with his license and only gives it up when the Bar starts looking into his shenanigans? WTF?

"If he is proven guilty he should be punished severly not given a wrist slap."

That is just it... he copped a plea with the Justice Department and got off without explaining what he destroyed. Now, he cut off the Bar association from finding out by giving up his license. Nice, convenient way to stroll off into the sunset. We have to force his hand... get the Justice Department involved again and find out what he is hiding. Right?

Of course now is the correct time of more clinton investigations
Especially if you are a desperate republican.
I guess the republicans wasted their time on all those investigations and Starr chamber time...
How many more years will they need to dig ?

You posted an opinion piece, from a rightwing website.

Until you can post something that supports your assertion from mainstream sources, I'm not going to accept it simply because some rightwing blogger says it.

I wouldn't expect you to automatically accept something michael moore says.

This seriously could effect us for some time to come. Covering up information, specifically information about 9/11, has serious implications that are far more effecting to us than firing 8 dudes in the Justice Department.

I am not saying that we should stop investigating that, the Justice Department firings, I am saying we should probably include this as well.

[Superfreak]

Give me a break. As the article suggests... if this was Karl Rove rather than Sandy Berger, the left would be going apeshit over this. If you aren't concerned about this then you are quite hypocritical... given all the hype over Bush firing political appointees. Not saying that you shouldn't question the firings... but Berger just gave up his license a couple of weeks ago... so it isn't like this is digging up something from a distant past. There has to be something big behind it.... but I suppose it just isn't important to you?

What a copout.... so you think he just made up the fact that Berger gave up his license?

Agreed, I am not saying not to investigate this event. Just that the blog source and such makes it suspect as a diversionary tactic.
I am very pro investigating and agressivly punishing all corrupt politicos.

this one has links to numerous websites and articles on the subject... and you would be hard pressed to call huffingtonpost a rightwing site.
