As part of his unbelievably lenient plea deal for stealing documents from the National Archives (to hide them from the 9/11 Commission), Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was supposed to take a polygraph test. Since the plea deal two years ago, he has yet to take it.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) sent a letter to the Justice Department today asking for former Clinton Administration National Security Advisor Sandy Berger to surrender to the department immediately and that a polygraph test be administered forthwith. In 2005, Mr. Berger pled guilty to the mishandling and destruction of classified national security documents after admitting he entered the National Archives and unlawfully removed them. The documents have never been recovered. As part of the plea deal, Mr. Berger agreed to take a polygraph test to be administered by the Department of Justice, however, two years have passed and he has yet to fulfill his legal obligation.

So when I heard about this letter, it sounded familiar. Hasn’t one already been sent? Turns out, yes. Back in January, Fox News reported:

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department should administer a polygraph test to former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger to find out what documents he took from the National Archives in 2002 and 2003, Rep. Tom Davis wrote in a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales dated Monday.

Davis, ranking Republican on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is leading a group of 18 lawmakers who say the Justice Department has been “remarkably incurious” about Berger’s decision to remove documents relating to the Sept. 11 commission’s inquiry into his role in helping prevent terror attacks during the Clinton administration.

“It is extraordinarily important that the Justice Department avail itself of its rights under the plea agreement and administer a polygraph examination to Mr. Berger to question him about the extent of his thievery. This may be the only way for anyone to know whether Mr. Berger denied the 9/11 commission and the public the complete account of the Clinton administration’s actions or inactions during the lead up to the terrorist attacks on the United States,” Davis wrote.

The letter was signed by all Republican members of Congress.

And in May, WorldNetDaily reported:

The White House is studying whether former White House insider Sandy Berger will take a polygraph test to answer questions about his theft of classified documents from the National Archives, according to spokesman Tony Snow.

Snow’s promise came in response to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND’s correspondent at the White House.

“Congressman Tom Davis and 17 other Republican House members have called on Attorney General Gonzales, Department of Justice, to administer the polygraph test that Sandy Berger agreed to in paragraph 11 of his plea agreement. And my question, could you give us a substantial answer to these Republicans’ request of the Bush administration?” Kinsolving asked.

It’s been 10 months since the first letter was sent to the Justice Department, and 5 months since the White House said it’d look into it.

What happened?
