Hillary Clinton, Criminals, And The Reemergence Of Sandy Burglar

The ease in which Hillary Clinton surrounds herself with criminals is stunning. When it's not crooked fundraisers fleeing the country it's Sandy Burger taking on the role of foreign policy adviser for her campaign.

The more experienced Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has relied largely on her husband and a triumvirate of senior officials from his presidency—former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, former U.N. ambassador Richard Holbrooke and former national-security adviser Sandy Berger (who tries to keep a low profile after pleading guilty in 2005 to misdemeanor charges of taking classified material without authorization).

Richard Miniter writes: BERGER'S COMEBACK

So Berger was stuffing in pants and socks and later shredding the evidence that President Clinton did not want to take a tougher line on bin Laden, following the 1998 attack on two U.S. embassies that killed 224 people (including 12 American diplomats).

Now for the Hillary connection...

So what does the Democratic front-runner and former First Lady do?

She makes Berger one of her top three foreign policy advisers.

The Volokh Conspiracy is also blogging on this: A SANDY BURGLAR COMEBACK?

Why do I find the report that Hillary Clinton is using Sandy Berger as one of her key foreign policy advisors so unnerving? Because it shows both poor judgment and a lack of regard for Berger's legal and ethical breaches. I also find it quite surprising. Hillary Clinton has impressed me as a Senator and as a candidate. Whatever her other faults, she is intelligent, savvy, disciplined, and determined; by far the most impressive candidate in the Democratic field. All this makes her apparent inclusion of Berger in her foreign policy "triumverate" all the more difficult to fathom.

I really don't have much more to add other than to say looking back at the first installment of The Clinton Crime Family we shouldn't be surprised to see Season Two!
