Judge Orders Berger to Pay $50,000 Fine
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sandy Berger, President Clinton's national security adviser who was once entrusted with the nation's most sensitive secrets, was fined $50,000 Thursday for taking classified documents from the National Archives.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson handed down the punishment in federal court, stiffening the $10,000 fine recommended by government lawyers. Under the deal, Berger avoids prison time but he must surrender access to classified government materials for three years.
"The court finds the fine is inadequate because it doesn't reflect the seriousness of the offense," Robinson said, as a grim-faced Berger stood silently.
She also sentenced Berger to two years' probation and 100 hours of community service.

A slap on the wrist, and across our faces.
What if a Republican had been caught in the same circumstances? -
He's already be in jail.

He'd probably have been lynched by the press corps.
Berger should have had has access to secure information permanently revoked... but that is probably the practical effect anyway. Not even Hillary could get away with giving him official access again. -

What about Ronald Reagon? Does anyone here actually believe it was a coincidence the hostages were freed on the day of his inauguration? He made a deal with the devil (Iran) to win the election.
