When Is Stealing Not Punished Like Stealing? When You Steal from the National Archives!

This may be me going all fire & brimstone again, but how did Sandy Berger get no jail time? He purposely, with premeditation, stole and destroyed classified documents from the National Archives. The documents had been requested (subpoenaed?) as part of an investigation. At the very least he stole property of the people of the United States - part of the history of this country. At worst, he potentially made this country more vulnerable to future terrorist attacks by not allowing the information to be reviewed and analyzed. He should have gone to jail!

Also, why was he not being closely monitored by SOMEONE? He was accessing records from the administration that he had been involved with, AND he was representing President Clinton who the documents pertained to. Why was this not treated more seriously?

Can you imagine John Q. Public stealing one-of-a-kind documents from the National Archives, and not getting any jail time?

FIE.
