White House Says It Was Contacted About Berger Probe Months Ago

[Cannikin]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats are raising questions about Justice Department contacts with White House lawyers months ago about a criminal investigation of former Clinton administration national security adviser Sandy Berger.
The White House acknowledgment came Wednesday as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee requested any correspondence between the Justice Department and the White House regarding the probe.

On Capitol Hill, the main investigative committee in the Republican-led House will look into the allegations against Berger.

DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe said he wants to see any paper trail between the Justice Department and the White House because of "the questionable timing" of leaked news revealing the Berger probe just days before release of the report by the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The panel's final report details failures during both the Bush and Clinton administrations in responding to terrorist threats before Sept. 11.

Its the timing!

Am I the only one seeing the timing thing here? This whole Berger thing has been well planned to coincide with the 9/11 report to pull more focus to the Clinton admin.

3. I wonder what the 911 commission panel members will say about

about this Berger flap. So far, I haven't heard any statements by the panel members even though the Berger investigation raises questions about the 911 evidence and puts a cloud over their findings. I would think they would have wanted this matter fully investigated and cleared up months ago. Strange timing
