Glenn Reynolds thinks it's bizarre that Sandy Berger walked off with classified documents. While it may have been a completely innocent mistake, it is strangely reminiscent of the handling of the Rose Law firm billing records. Investigators complain that the White House didn't produce the documents until last week -- two years after prosecutors sought them.
"The most critical documents that show the contacts between Mrs. Clinton and what was going on at that bank were hidden in a box in the residence in the white house," said Michael Chertoff, chief counsel for the Senate Whitewater Committee.
And before that: Among the major findings of the committee's Republican majority: evidence of a conspiracy to remove potentially damaging files from the office of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster on the night of his suicide in July, 1993, a conspiracy orchestrated by telephone by First Lady Hillary Clinton and carried out by chief of staff Margaret Williams and Mrs. Clinton's friend and adviser, Susan Thomases.
Seems like common practice for Clintonites.
"Among the major findings of the committee's Republican majority"
OH, right, what a believable statement from the righties who did their best to pull off a coup d'etat.
And you are still trying to sell the Vince Foster murder conspiracy theory? Even the rabid right WSJ idiotorial page admitted they were in the wrong there.

Gee, you mean those files disappearing and reappearing weren't just innocent mistakes? What do you suppose could have happened?
