You used the word "stole." We don't know that anything was stolen. It could have been borrowed. Why would it have been borrowed. Want to revise that? You know that it was illegal to take anything out of that room, including notes. By definition, it was theft.

You used the word "stole." We don't know that anything was stolen. It could have been borrowed. Sure, he borrowed the documents. Sure sure sure. He borrowed them and then hid them in his pants, his jacket and his briefcase. If you or I did that we would be called a thief. Go to a store and try borrowing that way and then call it inadvertent. The cops will laugh as you are being fingerprinted after they arrest you for stealing. The procedures to safeguard secure documents are briefed to everyone with a security clearance at least once a year. Surely the former National Security Advisor knew the appropriate way to get further access to the data. Stuffing pockets is how a thief works. I understand the need to get to the bottom of this. But the investigation will have to get beyond Berger to determine the details. Locking him up immediately, makes it more difficult for him to fabricate another cover-up or bs story.

"It could have been borrowed" ~~~ Karen, these papers weren't "borrowed".... Have you ever been in the National Archives to do any type of research??? These papers are OUR National papers...and one doesn't just "borrow" or steal from the NA.... It is heavily guarded, and while I can't know for sure, I would assume, there are cameras in the reading rooms as well. I know for sure they are there when one comes in the front doors... There is NO way that Berger could have just "borrowed" anything from the NA without knowing it was illegal....NO WAY.
