Sen. Clinton: Sandy Berger has no official role in my campaign

At the end of an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton a short while ago, USA TODAY's Susan Page inquired about reports that former Clinton administration national security adviser Sandy Berger is advising her.

Susan asked whether Clinton has any qualms about having Berger as an unofficial adviser to her campaign, given his mishandling of sensitive, classified intelligence documents in 2003?

"He has no official role in my campaign. He's been a friend for more than 30 years. But he doesn't have any official role," Clinton said.

But he's an unofficial adviser, Susan asked?

"I have thousands of unofficial advisers," said Clinton, "and, you know, I appreciate all of that. But he has no official role in my campaign."

What part of "I have thousands of unofficial advisers," said Clinton, "and, you know, I appreciate all of that. But he has no official role in my campaign." do you not understand?

What did Mr. Berger do not do that eliminates him from offereing his advice to friends he has known for thirty years?

key word. Hillary has learned to be a clever liar.

eom

You sure are quick to defend her.

apparently, lol.

I'm sure she talks to him but he has no official role in the campaign...

It's not as if Sandy Berger is an "enemy of the state" ...

Some people here are trying to make him into Jonathan Pollard or Julius Rosenberg and it wreaks...

however the clinton retread is dangerous territory. The democratic party will survive her loss in the GE. its a shame that bandwagon pays little attention to the middleclass. It will be business as usual.

Saying Sandy Berger is kind of like pulling out the 100 year-old story about Ted Kennedy in the right wing fantasy land. There's not a week goes by I don't hear some knuckle dragger call into C-Span and ask "why aren't we talking about Sandy Berger?" They are fixated on him and seems like Barney Frank also. Or anything Bill "BJ" Clinton. Sandy Berger is probably the least ominous person we should be examining right now. Right wing talking points absolutely make my head explode. :puke:

Sandy Berger exhibited piss poor judgement handling sensitive documents...He committed a misdeameanor, was put on probation, paid a fine, and was publicly shamed... He , however, did not try to alter history or exonerate the Clintons for laxity in the fight against terrorism by taking (original) documents...He took copies!!!

And there is where the whole right wing attack falls apart...

The Justice Department initially said Berger stole only copies of classified documents and not originals. But the House Government Reform Committee later revealed that an unsupervised Berger had been given access to classified files of original, uncopied, uninventoried documents on terrorism. Several Archives officials acknowledged that Berger could have stolen any number of items and they “would never know what, if any, original documents were missing.”

A bad thing here?

Maybe you want the FOX news version of events?

Quick let's beat it out of him!

Credentials - I post on DU.

Karl Rove had a title, a salary and an office.

You can't possibly compare the two.

eom

nobody ever claimed that Rove had no official position in the Bush administration.

Bush=Clinton and all...

"I did not have official discussions with that man, Sandy Berger. I never told anybody to discuss anything, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you."

:rofl:

Let me channel who said it...

I'm seeing a corpulent man with a cochlear implant in a New York Studio...

I see letters... I see an E an I and a B...

:rofl:

I see your point. If a comment by the Clinton Team is in any way construed outside of suckupisms, it's merely because it's coming from Repugs.

Nicely played, nicely played...

:crazy:

I guess it's a form of self abasement...
