Some things cry out for explanation. Like finding $90,000 in marked bills in a Congressman's freezer. Or finding out that a blue-chip lawyer who held one of the most important jobs in the nation was willing to risk his career, his livelihood, and his liberty to steal, hide, and destroy classified documents.
We all have a pretty good idea what the money was doing in Representative William Jefferson's freezer. But the questions about President William Jefferson Clinton's National Security Adviser, Sandy Berger, just keep piling up.
Mr. Berger, the Clintons, and their allies do not want questions about this story asked or answered.
Mr. Berger's lawyer, Lanny Breuer, along with former Clinton officials, assured us that all of the material destroyed by Berger existed in other form and was made available to the 9/11 investigations, that nothing relevant to the Clinton Administration's response to al-Qaeda was withheld.
Of course, we also were assured that Monica had only imagined a relationship with Bill and that rumors to the contrary were, in Hillary's famous phrase, the work of a "vast right-wing conspiracy."
Just as the media was quick to pick up on Hillary’s "vast right-wing conspiracy" phrase, they were just as quick to ignore the Sandy Berger state secret theft incident.
There is one possible reason the Clinton’s were able to keep Berger from receiving punishment befitting his treasonous crime.
The memory of what happened to Clinton Administration attorney Vincent Foster is still vivid and remains a powerful reminder of what could happen to anyone who is tempted to cross the Clinton’s on a major issue.
