I have a new story up about Sandy Berger’s agreement to give up his law license. Some readers have wondered whether that meant the wheels of investigation were still turning in the case. From the story:
There’s been some confusion in the last few days about the latest development in the classified-documents-theft-and-destruction case of former Clinton national security adviser Samuel Berger. When Berger announced that he had agreed to give up his law license, some readers wondered, perhaps hopefully, whether that meant the Justice Department was still pursuing the case — prosecutors still have the right to subject Berger to a polygraph examination, even after his guilty plea, $50,000 fine, agreement to perform community service, and three-year ban on handling classified material — or that perhaps Berger was under some sort of pressure from congressional investigators.
The answers are no and no.
