That is the effect of the surrender of his law license over his theft of secret documents to cover up the role of the Clinton Administration in the failures that allowed the 9/11 attacks to happen.

Samuel R. Berger, the Clinton White House national security adviser who was caught taking highly classified documents from the National Archives, has agreed to forfeit his license to practice law.

In a written statement issued by Larry Breuer, Mr. Berger's attorney, the former national security adviser said he pleaded guilty in the Justice Department investigation, accepted the penalties sought by the department and recognized that his law license would be affected.

"I have decided to voluntarily relinquish my license," he said. "While I derived great satisfaction from years of practicing law, I have not done so for 15 years and do not envision returning to the profession. I am very sorry for what I did, and I deeply apologize."

Why surrender the license? This makes it all clear.

In giving up his license, Mr. Berger avoids being cross-examined by the Board on Bar Counsel, where he risked further disclosure of specific details of his theft.

In other words, Sandy Berger didnÂ’t want to have to tell, under oath and facing penalty for perjury, exactly what he took and why.

Berger joins a long list of Clinton officials, including the former president himself, to have suffered the loss of their law licenses for criminal activities.
