   In a seemingly blatant attempt to undermine integrity, Hillary Clinton chose an ex-convict as her adviser. Yes, it's true ladies and gents; you heard right. Hillary Clinton, a possible future president of this country, selected Sandy Berger to give her advice for her campaign.

   The media would be all over Rudy Giuliani if he did the same. But Clinton, yet again, gets a free pass to do whatever idiotic things she wants - like the quotes she made about whoever gets fooled by the president shouldn’t be a president, then admitting she was fooled by Bush. Things like this are numerous; yet you won’t hear them lest you turn on your radio and listen to some good ole’ Rush.

   Berger illegally stole highly classified security documents from the National Archives and Records Administration. He insulated his pants with the documents and made it to his office where he shredded them with scissors. Berger outright lied to investigators saying he unintentionally threw them away or accidentally misplaced them. This is also one of the criminal charges he faced. He ended up having to plea for a deal in order to avoid jail. This character will advise Hillary Clinton.

   The documents dealt with the 2000 millennium celebration. John Ashcroft gave testimony that the Clinton administration (which Berger worked for when he committed the crime) withheld the documents pertaining to the celebration. Berger and the rest of the administration then accused the Bush administration of not sufficiently handling the terror situation after they left.

   These documents declared the Clinton administration barely missed terrorist attacks during the 2000 millennium celebration and luck had more to do with it than anything. It is obvious that the administration did not want to attract attention to its failure in handling terror so they sent Berger, who was the National Security Adviser, to do their dirty work.

   The employees at the archives took notice and soon Berger was caught. Again, he lied to the investigators and was supposed to go to jail. He got a slap on the wrist for the crime committed and let off under $100,000. Scooter Libby committed no crime; yet he was sentenced to over a year in prison.

   So, this lying thief will whisper into Hillary Clinton’s ear and might once again find himself in the White House. I hope the public sees how desperate this woman is to get power. Would you trust a woman who would let a threat to national security advise her on governmental matters? Is she someone you would take seriously?

   I think not. I don’t think it is healthy that criminals have any say in government in general, especially when the crime or crimes committed are so related to our national security. What if Clinton is just as lax when dealing with theft and the truth? Surely this should throw up a gigantic parachute-sized red flag about her integrity. If she attracts liars and thieves to her team, what does that say about her?

   I hope the voting men and women of this country see the problem in supporting a candidate who would be willing to get advice and direction from someone who went against the people of this country.
