Sandy Berger forfeits law license to avoid being cross-examined by the Board on Bar Counsel
Where he risked further disclosure of specific details of his theft.
Samuel R. Berger, the Clinton White House national security adviser who was caught taking highly classified documents from the National Archives, has agreed to forfeit his license to practice law.
In a written statement issued by Larry Breuer, Mr. Berger’s attorney, the former national security adviser said he pleaded guilty in the Justice Department investigation, accepted the penalties sought by the department and recognized that his law license would be affected.
“I have decided to voluntarily relinquish my license,” he said. “While I derived great satisfaction from years of practicing law, I have not done so for 15 years and do not envision returning to the profession. I am very sorry for what I did, and I deeply apologize.”
He’s not the least bit sorry for what he did!

Let’s see…Berger hasn’t practiced law in 15 years, and giving up his license means he won’t have to testify about why he stole the documents. This isn’t punishment, it’s like a mute giving up speaking as part of a plea bargain.

Of course Berger will give up his law license to prevent having to tell the truth about his actions. His security clearance will be reinstated just around the time Hillary would be inaugerated if she wins, and he doesn’t want to either ruin her election chances (which might get him a one way ticket to the park ala Vince Foster) or endanger his chances of getting another cushy high paying job in her administration. He’s a criminal and should NEVER be allowed to hold a security clearance ever again.
